"I thought my son intelligent and perceptive from an early age, and he must have been a good judge of people. I thought you were the smartest and most talented among my sons, but unexpectedly, you are the most stupid. Arrogant and conceited, with no sense of proportion! I hope you achieve the highest score in the imperial examination."
“我以为我的儿子从小就独立聪慧,他看人也一定非常地准。我以为你是我所有儿子中最聪明、最有才华的,但没想到你却是最愚蠢的一个。狂妄自大,不知分寸!我盼着你科举蟾宫折桂金榜题名。”
"A dignified young master of the Yu family will marry a lowly prostitute as his wife. How will others mock you? It’s a disgrace to the educated class."
“堂堂玉家公子,竟然要娶一个身份卑微的□□为妻,这该让他人如何去取笑你?真是有辱斯文呢!”
"A respectable young master of the Prime Mister is marrying a singing girl. Aren''t you afraid that people will criticize you for disgracing your family''s name?"
“堂堂相府公子居然娶一个歌姬,难道不怕别人骂你有辱斯文吗?”
"She is not a prostitute but a renowned entertainer. That’s totally different."
“她不是□□,是歌姬,这是两个概念!”
"Why would you like someone like her? What is good about her? There are countless noble ladies you could have loved, yet you chose to fall for a lowly entertainer. Do you have no sense of shame? Where is the wise wisdom you learned from the sacred books of sages?"
“你为什么会看上她这样的人?她到底有哪点好?多少名门淑女你不爱,偏偏爱上一个身份下贱的歌妓,你究竟有没有羞耻之心呀?你的圣贤书都读哪里去了?”
"Whether you accept her or not, my future will have her in it."
“无论你们能不能接受她,我未来的人生里必须要有她。”
"So, you mean you''re going to sever all ties with me for the sake of this outsider? Yu Yujun, for an outsider, you are falling out with your family. Is it worth it?"
“你的意思是为了一个外人你要和我恩断义绝? 玉雨均,你为了一个外人和亲人闹翻了,值得吗?”
"Yes. I won''t live alone. If you are going to hurt her. "
“值得!如果你们伤害她,我也绝不独自偷生。”
"Rebellious child, this isn''t just about you. It concerns the centuries-old foundation of our Yu family. You won''t be with her unless you step over my dead body."
“逆子,这不是你一个人的事,而是关系到我们玉族的数百年基业。你要是想娶她除非从我身上踩过去。”
……
These days, I was not used to life without his company beside me, but I must get used to it eventually.
这些天,再也没有他的影子在身边摇晃,我好像不太习惯,但是也终究是要习惯的。
He was gentle and elegant without defects, while my heart was already riddled with scars.
他是那么的的美玉无瑕,而我心中早已就千疮百孔。
