寶玉早已看見過了一個姊妹，便料定是林姑媽之女，忙來作揖。廝見畢歸坐，細看形容，與眾各別：

Bao-yu had already caught sight of a slender， delicate girl whom he surmised to be his Aunt Lin’s daughter and quickly went over to greet her。 Then， returning to his place and taking a seat， he studies her attentively。 How different she seemed from the other girls he knew！

兩彎似蹙非蹙罥（juan）煙眉，一雙似泣非泣含露目。

Her mist-wreathed brows at first seemed to frown， yet were not frowning； her passionate eyes at first seemed to smile， yet were not merry。

態生兩靨（ye）之愁，嬌襲一身之病。

Habit had given a melancholy cast to her tender face； nature had bestowed a sickly constitution on her delicate frame。

淚光點點，嬌喘微微。

Often the eyes swam with glistening tears； Often the breath came in gentle gasps。

閒靜時如姣花照水，行動處似弱柳扶風。

In stillness she made one think of a graceful flower reflected in the water； In motion she called to mind tender willow shoots caressed by the wind。

心較比干多一竅，病如西子勝三分。

She had more chambers in her heart than the martyred Bi Gan； And suffered a tithe more pain in it than the beautiful Xi Shi。

寶玉看罷，因笑道：這個妹妹我曾見過的。

Having completed his survey， Bao-yu gave a laugh。 I have seen this cousion before。

（奇怪，黛玉只有眉眼描寫，沒有服飾描寫，果然是仙氣飄飄，人間的裝飾都配不上她。）
