林黛玉
两弯似蹙非蹙罥烟眉，一双似喜非喜含露目。态生两靥之愁，娇袭一身之病。
Her dusky arched eyebrows were knitted and yet not frowning, her speaking eyes held both merriment and sorrow; her very frailty had charm.
泪光点点，娇喘微微。闲静时，如姣花照水；行动处，似弱柳扶风。心较比干多一窍，病如西子胜三分。
Her eyes sparkled with tears, her breath was soft and faint. In repose she was like a lovely flower mirrored in the water; in motion, a pliant willow swaying in the wind. She looked more sensitive than Bi Gan, more delicate than Xi Shi.
王熙凤
一双丹凤三角眼，两弯柳叶吊梢眉；身量苗条，体格风骚；粉面含春威不露，丹唇未启笑先闻。
She had the almond-shaped eyes of a phoenix, slanting eyebrows as long and drooping as willow leaves. Her figure was slender and her manner vivacious. The springtime charm of her powdered face gave no hint of her latent formidability. And before her crimson lips parted, her laughter rang out.
薛宝钗
唇不点而红，眉不画而翠；脸若银盆，眼如水杏。罕言寡语，人谓藏愚；安分随时，自云守拙。
Her lips needed no rouge, her blue-black eyebrows no brush; her face seemed a silver disk, her eyes almonds swimming in water. Some might think her reticence a cloak for stupidity; but circumspect as she was she prided herself on her simplicity.
贾宝玉
面若中秋之月，色如春晓之花，鬓若刀裁，眉如墨画，面如桃瓣，眼若秋波。虽怒时而若笑，即瞋视而有情。
His face was as radiant as the mid-autumn moon, his complexion fresh as spring flowers at down. The hair above his temples was as sharply outlined as if cut with a knife. His eyebrows were as black as if painted with ink, his cheeks as red as peach-blossom, his eyes bright as autumn ripples. Even when angry he seemed to smile, and there was warmth in his glance even when he frowned.
最后给大家献上书中经典且富有哲理的《好了歌》及两个英译本。
世人都晓神仙好，惟有功名忘不了！ 古今将相在何方？荒冢一堆草没了！ 世人都晓神仙好，只有金银忘不了！ 终朝只恨聚无多，及到多时眼闭了。 世人都晓神仙好，只有娇妻忘不了！ 君生日日说恩情，君死又随人去了。 世人都晓神仙好，只有儿孙忘不了！ 痴心父母古来多，孝顺儿孙谁见了？ Won-Done Song by 大卫·霍克斯 Men all know that salvation should be won. But with ambition won’t have done, have done. Where are the famous ones of days gone by? In grassy graves they lie now, every one. Men all know that salvation should be won. But with their riches won't have done, have done. Each day they grumble they’ve not made enough. When they’ve enough, it’s goodnight every one! Men all know that salvation should be won. But with their loving wives won’t have done. The dalings every day protest their love: But once you’re dead, they’re off with another one. Men all know that salvation should be won. But with their children won’t have done, have done. Yet though of parents fond there is no lack. Of grateful children saw I ne’er a one. 译文二 All Good Things Must End by 杨宪益、戴乃迭 All men long to be immortals, Yet to riches and rank each aspires; The great ones of old, where are they now? Their graves are a mass of briars. All men long to be immortals, Yet silver and gold they prize. And grub for money all their lives, Till death seals up their eyes. All men long to be immortals Yet dote on the wives they've wed, Who swear to love their husband evermore, But remarry as soon as he's dead. All men long to be immortals, Yet with getting sons won't have done. Although fond parents are legion, Who ever saw a really filial son?
