红楼梦·开篇诗

满纸荒唐言，一把辛酸泪。都云作者痴，谁解其中味。

It's the endless miserable tears which accompany  with numerous unintelligible words writing by the author. Can anyone really comprehend the author without sneering at his infatutation?

红楼梦·结尾诗

说到辛酸处，荒唐愈可悲。由来同一梦，休笑世人痴！

Grief and sadness go with assurd. We all yearn for the same true love, how can we tease others' persistence and infatutation?

为官的，家业凋零。富贵的，金银散尽。有恩的，死里逃生。无情的，分明报应。欠命的，命已还。欠泪的，泪已尽。冤冤相报实非轻，分离聚合皆前定。欲知命短问前生，老来富贵也真侥幸。看破的，遁入空门。痴迷的，枉送了性命。好一似食尽鸟投林，落了片白茫茫大地真干净！

The politicians lost their political future, the wealthy lost all their wealth. Those help others with mercy escaped from disasters, those merciless ones were punished by retribution. Who owe life to others paid with life, who make others cry cried tears dry. The cycle of reprisal and retaliation is really a heavy life burden, for all the separation and reunion are predestined. This life is doomed by the consequence of previous life. Being rich and powerful in aged life is just a fluke. The disillusioned ones faded into buddhism, the obsessive ones lost their lives in vain. The life we experienced is just like the bare earth with nothing left, as the birds turning back into the woods after feeding.

假作真时真亦假，无为有处有还无

Take the fake as true, the true will be regarded fake. Take nothing as something, then something will become nothing.

世事洞明皆学问，人情练达即文章

It's an art to keeping penetrative to surroundings. Familiarity with social codes is a big knowledge.

预防疾病最重要的，并不是吃药，而是多晒太阳。

The most important thing to prevent diseases is not taking drugs to prevent viruses, but to get more exposure to the sun.
