滬江英樂訊?? 四大名著電視劇主題歌的英文直譯翻唱版……于是什么都不用多說了吧，只想默默提一句，其中的紅樓用的還是李少紅的新版片花……下面是紅樓夢主題曲《枉凝眉》的譯文，注意，下面給出的譯文是來自都翻譯過《紅樓夢》的楊憲益和漢學家David Hawkes?？梢浴么髱煹淖g文對比一下上面的歌詞……

枉凝眉：一個是閬苑仙葩，一個是美玉無瑕。若說沒奇緣，今生偏又遇著他；若說有奇緣，如何心事終虛化﹖一個枉自嗟呀，一個空勞牽掛。一個是水中月，一個是鏡中花。想眼中能有多少淚珠兒，怎經(jīng)得秋流到冬盡，春流到夏！

楊憲益版：VAIN LONGING
One is an immortal flower of fairyland,
The other fair flawless jade,
And were it not predestined,
Why should they meet again in this existence?
Yet, if predestined,
Why does their love come to nothing?
One sighs to no purpose,
The other yearns in vain;
One is the moon reflected in the water,
The other but a flower in the mirror.
How many tears can well from her eyes?
Can they flow on from autumn till winter,
From spring till summer?

David Hawkes 版：HOPE BETRAYED
One was a flower from paradise,
One a pure jade without spot or stain.
If each of the other one was not intended,
Then why in this life did they meet again?
And yet if fate had meant them for each other,
why was their earthly meeting all in vain?
In vain were all his anxious fears:
All, insubstantial, doomed to pass,
As moonlight mirrored in the water
Or flowers reflected in a glass.
How many tears from those poor eyes could flow,
Which every season rained upon her woe?
