【红楼梦 引子】
Prologue to The Dream of Red Mansions
杨宪益 戴乃迭 译
开辟鸿蒙,谁为情种?
都只为风月情浓。
At the dawn of creation
Who sowed the seeds of love?
From the strong passion of breeze and moonlight they came.
趁着这奈何天、伤怀日、寂寥时,
试遣愚衷。
因此上演出这怀金悼玉的《红楼梦》。
So in this world of sweet longing
On a day of distress, in an hour of loneliness,
Fain would I impart my senseless grief
By singing this Dream of Red Mansions
To mourn the Gold and the Jade.

【枉凝眉】
Vain Longing
杨宪益 戴乃迭 译
一个是阆苑仙葩,一个是美玉无瑕。
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?

【葬花吟】
杨宪益 戴乃迭 译
花谢花飞飞满天,红消香断有谁怜?
As blossoms fade and fly across the sky,
Who pities the faded red, the scent that has been?
游丝软系飘春榭,落絮轻沾扑绣帘。
Softly the gossamer floats over spring pavilions,
Gently the willow fluff wafts to the embroidered screen.
闺中女儿惜春暮,愁绪满怀无释处。
A girl in her chamber mourns the passing of spring,
No relief from anxiety her poor heart knows.
手把花锄出绣闺,忍踏落花来复去。
Hoe in hand she steps through her portal,
Loath to tread on the blossom as she comes and goes.
柳丝榆荚自芳菲,不管桃飘与李飞。
Willows and elms, fresh and verdant,
Care not if peach and plum blossom drift away.
