Literary Translation LiQin SL: Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. TL: version 1 书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。 version 2 有些书可供一尝，有些书可以吞下，有不多的几部书则应当咀嚼消化；这就是说，有些书只要读读他们的一部分就够了，有些书可以全读，但是不必过于细心地读，还有不多的几部书则应当全读，勤读，而且用心地读。 One day she was pink and flawless; another pale and tragic.

His complexion fresh as spring flowers at dawn. The hair above his temple was as sharply outline as if cut with a knife. His cheeks as red as peach blossom, his eyes as bright as autumn ripples. 新绿涨添浣葛处 好云香护采芹人 Version 1: The green tide fills the creek where clothes are washed Clouds of fragrance surround the girls plucking water-cress Version 2: Emergent buds swell where washerwoman soaks her cloth. A fresh tang rises where the cress-gatherer fills this pannier. Hamlet: Look here upon this picture, and on this, The counterfeit presentment of two brothers See what a grace was seated on this brow: Hyperion’s curls, the front of Jove himself, An eye like Mars, to threaten and command, A station like the herald Mercury New lighted on a [heaven] kissing hill, a combination and a form indeed. Where every god did seem to set his seal To give the world assurance of a man. This
