戴乃迭译作欣赏
枉凝眉
Vain Longing
一个是阆苑仙葩，一个是美玉无暇。
One is an immortal flower of fairyland,
The other fair flawless jade,
若说没奇缘，今生偏又遇着他；
And were it not predestined
Why should they meet again in this existence?
若说有奇缘，如何心事终虚化？
Yet, if predestined,
Why does their love come to nothing?
一个枉自嗟呀，一个空劳牵挂。
One sighs to no purpose,
The other yearns in vain;
一个是水中月，一个是镜中花。
One is the moon reflected in the water,
The other but a flower in the mirror.
想眼中能有多少泪珠儿，
How many tears can well from her eyes?
怎经得秋流到冬尽，春流到夏！
Can they flow on from autumn till winter,
From spring till summer?
太虚幻境楹联
Illusory Land of Great Void
假作真时真亦假，无为有处有还无。
When false is taken for true, true becomes false;
If non-being turns into being, being becomes non-being.
宝黛初见
黛玉一见，便吃一大惊，心下想道：“好生奇怪！倒像在那里见过的一般，何等眼熟到如此！”
His appearance took Daiyu by surprise. “How very strange!” she thought. “It's as if I'd seen him somewhere before. He looks so familiar.”
宝玉看罢，因笑道：“这个妹妹我曾见过的。 ”
“I've met this cousin before,” he declared at the end of his scrutiny.
贾母笑道：“可又是胡说！你又何曾见过她？”
“You’re talking nonsense again,” said his grandmother, laughing.“How could you possibly have met her?”
宝玉笑道：“虽然未曾见过她，然我看着面善，心里就算是旧相识，今日只作远别重逢，未为不可。 ”
“Well, even if I haven’t, her face looks familiar. I feel we’re old friends meeting again after a long separation.”
