Chapter 15: Xiangyun Sleeps Among the Peonies
第十五章:湘云醉眠
Shi Xiangyun was another cousin of Baoyu, known for her cheerful spirit and boyish manners. Unlike Daiyu, who was always thoughtful and sad, Xiangyun laughed easily and enjoyed every moment of life. She had lost her parents when she was young, but she never let sorrow control her heart.
史湘云是宝玉的另一个表妹,以开朗的性格和男孩子般的举止而闻名。与总是沉思忧伤的黛玉不同,湘云很容易笑,享受生活的每一刻。她小时候就失去了父母,但她从未让悲伤控制自己的心。
One warm afternoon, the young people held a party in the garden to celebrate the blooming of the peonies. They drank wine, played games, and wrote poems about the beautiful flowers. Xiangyun was in high spirits, laughing and joking with everyone. She drank more wine than usual and began to feel dizzy.
一个温暖的下午,年轻人们在大观园里举办聚会,庆祝牡丹花的盛开。他们喝酒、玩游戏,还写了关于美丽花朵的诗。湘云情绪高涨,和每个人说笑。她比平时多喝了些酒,开始感到头晕。
When the party ended, no one could find Xiangyun. They searched the garden and finally discovered her in a quiet corner. She had fallen asleep on a stone bench, surrounded by fallen peony petals. Her face was pink from the wine, and her hands held a half-open fan. The scene was so beautiful that everyone stopped to admire it.
聚会结束时,没人能找到湘云。他们找遍了花园,最后在一个安静的角落发现了她。她睡在石凳上,周围是散落的牡丹花瓣。她的脸因喝酒而泛红,手里拿着一把半开的扇子。那场景太美了,每个人都停下来欣赏。
"Look at her," Baochai whispered with a smile. "She is like a painting come to life." Baoyu gently covered her with his coat to protect her from the cool breeze. No one wanted to wake her, for she looked so peaceful among the flowers.
"看她,"宝钗微笑着低声说,"她就像一幅活过来的画。"宝玉轻轻地把外套盖在她身上,保护她不受凉风吹拂。没有人愿意叫醒她,因为她在花丛中看起来如此安详。
Xiangyun's sleep among the peonies became one of the most beloved memories of their youth. It captured a moment of pure joy and innocence, before the storms of life would change everything. For those who saw it, the image would remain in their hearts forever.
湘云醉眠芍药成为了他们青春中最珍贵的回忆之一。它捕捉到了一个纯粹快乐和天真的瞬间,在生活的风暴改变一切之前。对于那些看到这一幕的人来说,这个画面将永远留在他们心中。
