桃李不言下自成蹊。 《史记•李将军传》

The peach and the plum do not speak, yet a path is born beneath them.

杨宪益 译

《红楼梦》A Dream of Red Mansions



泪光点点，娇喘微微。闲静时如姣花照水，行动处似弱柳扶风。

Her eyes sparkled with tears, her breath was soft and faint. In repose she was like a lovely flower mirrored in the water; in motion, pliant willow swaying in the wind.

杨宪益、戴乃迭 译
