"This fairy girl wandered about outside the Ream of Separation, eating the Secret Passion Fruit when she was hungry and drinking from the Pool of Sadness when she was thirsty. The consciousness that she owed the stone something for his kindness in watering her began to prey on her mind and ended by becoming an obsession."
后来既受天地精华,复得雨露滋养,遂得脱却草胎木质,得换人形,仅修成个女体,终日游于离恨天外,饥则食蜜青果为膳,渴则饮灌愁海水为汤。只因尚未酬报灌溉之德,故其五衷便郁结着一段缠绵不尽之意。
"I have no sweet dew here that I can repay him with," she would say to herself. "The only way in which I could perhaps repay him would be with the tears shed during the whole of a mortal lifetime if he and I were ever to be reborn as humans in the world below."
绛珠仙子道:‘他是甘露之惠,我并无此水可还。他既下世为人,我也去下世为人,但把我一生所有的眼泪还他,也偿还得过他了。’
"Because of this strange affair, Disenchantment has got together group of amorous young souls, of which Crimsn Pearl is on, and intends to send them down into the world to take part in the great illusion of human life. And as today happens to be the day on which this stone is fated to go into the world too, I am taking him with me to Disenchantment's tribunal for the purpose of getting him registered and sent down to earth with the rest of these romantic creatures."
恰近日这神瑛侍者凡心偶炽,乘此昌明太平朝世,意欲下凡造历幻缘,已在警幻仙子案前挂了号。警幻亦曾问及,灌溉之情未偿,趁此倒可了结的。

人的一生,不到最后的终结,永远不知道它的结局。《红楼梦》一开始就把结局都告诉你,让你看着每一个人如何一步步走到他的结局去。大家可以想想看,哪有一部小说一开始就把结局先告诉你。结局告诉你了,你还想看下去吗?也许人生不是一个结局,人生是点点滴滴、一分一秒的过程累积起来的一种不可知的状态。也许到最后一天,还是搞不清楚自己这一生到底是怎么回事。回看一生的荒唐、荒谬,错综复杂的喜怒哀乐、爱恨情仇的纠缠,其实是讲不清楚的。《红楼梦》让我们知道,结局本来就是假的,是我们自己虚拟的一个结局。什么叫做好,什么叫做坏,什么叫做命好,什么叫做命坏,大概也都很难确定。

If you have an obsession, you're totally fixated on something and unhealthily devoted to it. Some common obsessions include fantasy football leagues, celebrity gossip, and Elvis memorabilia.
consciousness
When you are awake and aware of your surroundings, that's consciousness. There are different types of consciousness, including social consciousness, being aware of injustices in society.
Obsession is kind of like a passion for something that crosses the line into crazy territory. Sometimes people get so preoccupied with their obsessions that it makes them anxious or emotionally unstable. If you have an obsession with the Yankees, for example, you might go to every single game, skip work to watch spring training, paper your room with Yankees posters, and write love notes to Derek Jeter.
The early Latin word conscius meant "with knowing," but it meant a shared knowledge, a meaning that was retained through the 16th Century. John Locke was the first to describe consciousness in relation to the individual, referring to it as “the perception of what passes in a man’s own mind." If you lose consciousness during the performance, we'll wake you up with some smelling salts!
