【红楼梦之酒仙】
403.看至此，意趣洋洋，趁着酒兴，不禁提笔续曰：焚花散麝，而闺阁始人含其劝矣；戕宝钗之仙姿，灰黛玉之灵窍，丧灭情意，而闺阁之美恶始相类矣。彼含其劝，则无参商之虞矣；戕其仙姿，无恋爱之心矣；灰其灵窍，无才思之情矣。彼钗、玉、花、麝者，皆张其罗而邃其穴，所以谜感缠陷天下者也。
注：
1.焚花散麝：即烧掉袭人，撵走麝月。
2.参商之虞：参、商是二星名，一在西，一在东，永不相见，。虞，忧虑。
Bao-yu was so delighted with this passage that,
stimulated as he was by wine,he picked up his brush and continued in the same vein：“Burn the flower, get rid of the musk, and those in the inner apartments will keep their advice to themselves.Spoil the beauty of the precious trinket, dull the intelligence of the black jade, do away with affection, and in the inner chambers fair and foul will then be on an equal
footing.Advice kept to oneself does away with the danger of discord；beauty marred obviates affection; intelligence dulled cuts out admiration for talents.For trinket,jade,
flower and musk are
alike spreading nets and laying traps to ensnare and bewitch all men under heaven....”
