《色戒》英译本出自Julia Lovell 女士之手。Lovell 女士是剑桥大学中国历史和体裁涵养最新伦理电影，已出书多部中国题材的文章和译作。比如最新的《长城：中国靠近寰球》（The Great Wall: China Against the World， 1000 BC-AD 2000）以及韩少功的《马桥辞书》英译本等。　　

张爱玲演义的翻译，似乎唯有女性能胜任。不说文想精良，便是那服装和打扮的描写，比如王佳芝在麻将桌上的装束，令我等长颈鸟喙：“雾鬓蓬松往上扫，后发王人肩，光入辖下手臂，电蓝水渍纹缎王人膝旗袍，小圆角衣领只半寸高，像洋服不异。领口一只别针，与碎钻镶蓝对峙的‘纽扣’耳饰成套。”

Lovell 女士却信笔译来，举重若轻：

“She had her hair pinned nonchalantly back from her face， then allowed to hang down to her shoulders. Her sleeveless cheongsam of electric blue moiré satin reached to the knees， its shallow， rounded collar standing only half an inch tall， in the western style. A brooch fixed to the collar matched her diamond-studded sapphire button earrings.”

我另外选录演义中关节场景译文如下最新伦理电影，四肢汉译英法式，与英语同业们共同学习：

（在珠宝店，王佳芝惶恐不安，在钻戒的妍丽里，为情而伤。）

“这个东说念主是真爱我的，她倏得想，心下轰然一声，谚语煞有介事。”

He really loves me， she thought. Inside she felt a raw tremor of shock—then a vague sense of loss.

（易先生出险后，余悸未消，心系朱颜，悔愧错杂。）

“她临终一定恨他。不外‘无毒不丈夫’。不是这么的男人汉，她也不会爱他。”

She must have hated him at the end. But real men have to be ruthless. She wouldn't have loved him if he'd been the sentimental type.

“得一心腹，视死如饴。他以为她的影子会永久依傍他，抚慰他。诚然她恨他，她终末对他的心理激烈到是什么心理都不联系了，仅仅有心理。他们是原始的猎东说念主与猎物的关系，虎与伥的关系，最终极的占有。她这才生是他的东说念主，死是他的鬼。”

But now that he had enjoyed the love of a beautiful woman， he could die happily-without regret. He could feel her shadow forever near him， comforting him. Even though she had hated him at the end， she had at least felt something. And now he possessed her utterly， primitively-as a hunter does his quarry， a tiger his kill. Alive， her body belonged to him; dead， she was his ghost.
