? 鳳姐雖然如此之忙，只因素性好勝，惟恐～，故費盡精神，籌劃的十分整齊，于是合族中上下無不稱嘆。(《紅樓夢》162)?Yet busy as she was,her spirits were high. She shirked not a single task,determined to give no one any grounds for complaint. Indeed,she worked so hard day and night and handled everything so well that not one of the household,high or low,but was impressed.
?Yet although she was so busy,a passion to succeed and a dread of being criticized enabled her to summon up reserves of energy,and she managed to plan everything with such exemplary thoroughness that every member of the clan was loud in her praises.
? 二則本性要強，不肯～，只扎掙著與無事的人一樣。(《紅樓夢》214) …but she was always so eager to shine,so anxious to give no one a handle against her that she strove to carry out her many tasks as if they were nothing. |
