­　　桃花灼灼，枝叶蓁蓁，妖娆伤眼。

­　　The peach blossoms are radiant, the leaves luxuriant, their allure stunning.

­　　“Allure”：魅力，诱惑力。可以理解成魅惑吧，也算符合“妖娆”的内涵。原文中“伤眼”细读其实并非是个贬义形容，美得过度总是震慑人心，用 “stunning” 比较合理。

­　　我自是百般推脱，他自是千般盛情。

­　　I, of course, did my best to excuse myself, while he, naturally, pressed on with all graciousness and courtesy.

­　　这句也很妙，原文是两句，译者断成了八个部分，营造了节奏感，“naturally”也跟“courtesy”押韵。

­　　风月里的计谋不算计谋，情趣罢了；风月里的情趣不算情趣，计谋罢了。

­　　In affairs of the heart, scheming is not at all scheming, only part of the play; while playfulness is never just playfulness, but part of the scheme.

­　　小编才学疏浅，说不出来所以然，但就觉得把风月翻译成 “affairs of the heart” 简单又恰当。

­　　四海八荒，总是会有一个人，一定会有这么一个人，他会把你的名字叫得婉转温柔，荡气回肠。

­　　In the vast universe (Four Seas and Eight Deserts), there will—there must—be someone who, when he calls your name, gives it such delight, such tenderness, such soul-stirring pathos.

­　　“Pathos” ，形容悲怆、哀婉，凄楚，契合荡气回肠的意境，用得好高级。换作我，只能想到 sorrow 或 sentiment 之类吧，哈哈哈。

­　　光晕一层一层，打出斑驳的印记。桃林十里，娇烂漫红，千朵浓芳，一枝枝缀乱云霞。那烟霞底下立着的玄衣青年，眉如泼墨，鬓若刀裁。

­　　Halos of light rippled and splashed. In the acres of peach trees, pink blossoms bloomed, breathing out sweet perfume. Beneath the rosy clouds and scented mists stood the young man, all dressed in black, his eyebrows as dark as if painted with ink, the hair above his temples as sharply outlined as if cut with a knife. *

­　　*“眉如泼墨，鬓若刀裁”出自《红楼梦》，原为对宝玉容貌的描述。此处沿用杨宪益、戴乃迭译本中的译法。

­　　方才夜华（角色名）行色匆匆，淡薄之间隐含亲切，疏离之间暗藏婉约，如此神态，以我十多万年所见的风月经验，定是会佳人去了。

­　　Ye Hua went off in a hurry just now. He looked nonchalant and distant, but there was a heartiness to that nonchalance and a coyness to that distance. I know, from my observations of romantic affairs—accumulated, I may add, over a hundred thousand years—that with that air and look, he must have been on his way to meet a fair lady.
