终身误

A Life Misspent

背景音乐：刘宽忍 - 枉凝眉

曹雪芹 作

杨宪益 戴乃迭 译

都道是金玉良姻，俺只念木石前盟。

Well-matched, all say, the gold and the jade;

I alone recall the pledge between plant and stone.

空对着，山中高士晶莹雪；

终不忘，世外仙姝寂寞林。

Vainly facing the hermit in sparkling snow-clad hills

I forget not the fairy in lone woods beyond the world.

叹人间，美中不足今方信。

纵然是齐眉举案，到底意难平。

I sigh, learning that no man’s happiness is complete:

Even a pair thought well-matched

May find disappointment.
