重温《红楼梦》:《金陵十二钗》判词之香菱英译
根并荷花一茎香，平生遭际实堪伤。
自从两地生孤木，致使香魂返故乡。
Xiangling
Sweet is he as the lotus in flower,
Yet none so sorely oppressed;
After the growth of a lonely tree in two soils
Her sweet soul will be dispatched to its final rest.
（杨宪益、戴乃迭 译）
Xiangling
Your stem grew from a noble lotus root,
Yet your life passed, poor flower, in low repute.
The day two earths shall bear a single tree,
Your soul must fly home to its own country.
（David Hawkes 译）
【百度百科解析】
画面“一支桂花”暗指“夏金桂”，“莲枯藕败”隐指英莲及其结局。根并荷花：指菱根挨着莲根，隐寓香菱就是原来的英莲。遭际：遭遇。两地生孤木：拆字法，两个“土”（地）字，加一个“木”字，指“桂”，寓夏金桂。照画面与后二句判词，香菱的结局当被夏金桂虐待致死。续书写香菱最后被“扶正”，似与曹雪芹的原意相反。
