本次漢英對照版《紅樓夢》,前八十迴的英文部分以霍剋思先生翻譯的企鵝齣版社《石頭記》(The Story Of the Stone,Penguin Books)1973年版第1捲、1977年版第二捲、1980年版第三捲為底本,參照霍剋思先生《紅樓夢英譯筆記》(香港嶺南大學文學與翻譯研究中心,2000年)及相關日記、書信,對現有譯文作瞭全麵係統的校訂。 中文部分則以人民文學齣版社1964年竪排版(啓功校注)為底本,主要參校《紅樓夢八十迴校本》(俞平伯校本)、《脂硯齋重評石頭記》(庚辰本)、《脂硯齋甲戌抄閱再評石頭記》(甲戌本)、《戚蓼生序本石頭記》(有正本)、《乾隆抄本百廿迴紅樓夢稿》(夢稿本),這些都是霍剋思先生在翻譯過程中主要參考過的本子。我們的目的是為讀者提供一個可靠的漢英對照本,同時如實地反映齣霍剋思先生在翻譯過程中到底做瞭哪些增刪改動,為翻譯研究者和愛好者提供參考。因為,讀者可以清楚地看到,霍剋思的八十迴英譯本,是與現存各種脂本程本都不一樣的本子,我們不妨稱之為"霍本"。這個奇特英譯《紅樓夢》,真實地反映瞭霍剋思先生在翻譯過程中的諸多努力。霍剋思先生已於2009年7月仙逝。在生前最後幾個月內,他還在不斷地修改自己的譯文。 《紅樓夢(套裝1-5捲)》也落實瞭這些修改意見。

Jia Zheng smiled Not really.It turns out that the Commandant of the Haimen region,who has offered his SOn'S hand in marriage to my daughter,is himselfrelated to tile Viceroy,and has written asking him t0 take a special interest in my well—being The Viceroy was most affable,and even went so far as to say to me:“Now we are related too!… Li reioiced inwardly,seeing in this new turn of”events cause to be bolder still in his own schemes.He encouraged Jia Zheng enthusiastically to proceed with the marriage Communications between Kiangsi and the capital were slow,and it was hard for Jia Zheng to know whether 0r not he was personally implicated in Xue Pan’s troubles At such a great distance it would be difficult for him to influence the course ofevents in Xue Pan’sfavour When he returned to his own yamen,he despatched a family servant to the capital to ascertain exactly what had happened and at the same time to carry a message to GrandmotherJia,informing her of the marriage proposal If she agreed,he suggested that Tan—chun should be sent straight away tojoin him,in preparation for the wedding The servant set off witll a11 speed for the capital He reported first to Lady Wang,and then went to the Board of Civil Office.where his enquiries revealed that the only person to have suffered in the Xue Pan affair was the acting magistrate ofTai—ping,who had lost his job,and that Jia Zheng was not in any way implicated.The servant sent back a reassuring report to Jia Zheng,himself remaining behind to await further developments。 It will be remenabered to what lengths Aunt Xue had gone,and with what large sunls of monev stle had bribed the various courts involved,to bring in a verdict of‘accidental homicide’in the earlier stages ofXue Pan。s case She had been proposing to raise the money for his fine by selling the family pawnshop business Now when she heard of the new verdict brought bv the Board ofPunishments,she sent still more bribes,but to no avail The sentence was confirmed—death by strangulation after the Autumn Assizes Day and night sbe wept tears of grief and rage…… ……
