英译版《红楼梦》中的唯美句子，必须收藏！(3)

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?
