【红豆词】
杨宪益 戴乃迭 译
滴不尽相思血泪抛红豆，
开不完春柳春花满画楼，
Like drops of blood fall endless tears of longing,
By painted pavilion grow willows and flowers untold;
睡不稳纱窗风雨黄昏后，
忘不了新愁与旧愁，
Sleepless at night when wind and rain lash gauze windows,
She cannot forget her sorrows new and old;
咽不下玉粒金莼噎满喉，
照不见菱花镜里形容瘦。
Choking on rice like jade and wine like gold,
She turns from her wan reflection in the glass;
展不开的眉头，捱不明的更漏。
Nothing can smooth away her frown,
It seems that the long night will never pass;
呀！恰便似遮不住的青山隐隐，
流不断的绿水悠悠。
Like the shadow of peaks, her grief is never gone;
Like the green stream it flows for ever on.
【黛玉湘云联诗】
杨宪益 戴乃迭 译
寒塘渡鹤影，冷月葬花魂。
A stork’s shadow flit across the chilly pool
The poet’s spirit is buried in cold moonlight.
【飞鸟各投林】
The Birds Into The Wood Have Flown
霍克斯 译
为官的，家业凋零；
富贵的，金银散尽；
The office jack’s career is blighted,
The rich man’s fortune now all vanished,
有恩的，死里逃生；
无情的，分明报应；
The kind with life have been requited,
The cruel exemplarily punished;
欠命的，命已还；
欠泪的，泪已尽。
The one who owed a life is dead,
The tears one owed have all been shed.
冤冤相报实非轻，分离聚合皆前定。
Wrongs suffered have the wrongs done expiated;
The couplings and the sundering were fated.
欲知命短问前生，老来富贵也真侥幸。
Untimely death sin in some past life shows,
But only luck a blest old age bestows.
看破的，遁入空门；
痴迷的，枉送了性命。
The disillusioned to their convents fly,
The still deluded miserably die.
好一似食尽鸟投林，落了片白茫茫大地真干净！
Like birds who, having fed, to the woods repair,
They leave the landscape desolate and bare.
