來了來了
Hawkes, The Story of the Stone Ch.60:
Aroma, you will recall, had asked Patience what in particular it was that had been giving her so much trouble.
話說襲人因問平兒,何事這等忙亂。
Patience smiled mysteriously: ‘Something no one would ever guess. You’ll have a good laugh when I tell you. I won’t tell you for a few days yet, though, because I still haven’t quite got to the bottom of it---and I haven’t got time now, in any case.’
平兒笑道:「都是世人想不到的,說來也好笑, 等幾日告訴你,如今沒頭緒呢,且也不得閒兒。」
As if to prove that this was so, one of Li Wan’s little maids arrived at that very moment: ‘Miss Patience? Oh, there you are! Mrs Zhu’s waiting for you. Why don’t you come?’
一語未了,只見李紈的丫鬟來了, 說:「平姐姐可在這裡,奶奶等你,你怎麼不去了?」
‘I’m coming, I’m coming,’ said Patience, breaking away from the others with a laugh and hurrying after her.
平兒忙轉身出來,口內笑說:「來了,來了。」
Aroma and the others laughed, too. ‘She’s grown as popular as hot cakes since her mistress’s illness: everyone wants her at once!’
襲人等笑道:「他奶奶病了,他又成了香餑餑了,都搶不到手。」
Patience’s business with Li Wan is no part of our story. We remain with Bao-yu and the rest at Green Delights.
平兒去了不提。
