曹雪芹·《金陵判词·可卿》英译

情天情海幻情身，情既相逢必主淫。 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

漫言不肖皆荣出，造衅开端实在宁。

Qin Keqing

Love boundless as sea and sky is but illusion,

When lovers meet, lust must be king;

Say not all evil comes from the Rong Mansion,

Truly, disaster originates from the Ning.

（杨宪益、戴乃迭 译）

Qin Keqing

Love was her sea, her sky; in such excess

Love, meeting with its like, breeds wantonness.

Say not our troubles all from Rong’s side came;

For their beginning Ning must take the blame.

（David Hawkes 译）
