001-Zhen Shiyin in a Dream Sees

因毫不干涉时世，方从头至尾抄录回来，问世传奇．从此空空道人因空见色，由色生情，传情入色，自色悟空，遂易名为情僧，改《石头记》为《情僧录》．

Since it did not touch at all on current events // he copied it out / from beginning to end // and took it away / to find a puhlisher.

Since all manifestations / are born of nothingness // and in turn give rise to passion, // by describing passion / for what is manifest we comprehend nothingness. So the Taoist changed his name to the Passionate Monk // and changed the title of the book / from The Tale of the Stone, / to the Record of the Passionate Monk.
