❍ 凤姐虽然如此之忙，只因素性好胜，惟恐～，故费尽精神，筹划的十分整齐，于是合族中上下无不称叹。(《红楼梦》162)❶Yet 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.
❷Yet 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.
❍ 二则本性要强，不肯～，只扎挣着与无事的人一样。(《红楼梦》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. |
