<p>金风玉露一相逢便胜却人间无数 is a quote from the poem 《鹊桥仙·纤云弄巧》 by Song dynasty poet 秦观.</p>

<p>It is actually two lines:</p>

<pre><code>金风玉露一相逢
便胜却人间无数
</code></pre>

<p>Let's parse them separately:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>金风玉露一相逢</p>
</blockquote>

<p>This has three parts:</p>

<ol>
<li>金风 = golden wind </li>
<li>玉露 = jade dew </li>
<li>一相逢 = upon meeting once</li>
</ol>

<p>This line means something like: upon encountering (each other) in the golden wind and jade dew.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>便胜却人间无数</p>
</blockquote>

<ol>
<li>便 = With that</li>
<li>胜却 = be greater than</li>
<li>人间 = humanity</li>
<li>无数 = innumerable</li>
</ol>

<p>So this line means something like: with that (their experience) surpassed the experience of countless people.</p>

<p>So together the line means (translated more loosely): Upon meeting each other under the golden evening wind and amongst the pure white dew, they shared an experience that others would never understand.</p>

金风玉露一相逢便胜却人间无数 is a quote from the poem 《鹊桥仙·纤云弄巧》 by Song dynasty poet 秦观.
It is actually two lines:
金风玉露一相逢
便胜却人间无数

Let's parse them separately:

金风玉露一相逢

This has three parts:

金风 = golden wind 
玉露 = jade dew 
一相逢 = upon meeting once

This line means something like: upon encountering (each other) in the golden wind and jade dew.

便胜却人间无数


便 = With that
胜却 = be greater than
人间 = humanity
无数 = innumerable

So this line means something like: with that (their experience) surpassed the experience of countless people.
So together the line means (translated more loosely): Upon meeting each other under the golden evening wind and amongst the pure white dew, they shared an experience that others would never understand.
