翻譯難得完美，因此也總有值得商榷之處。
具體到“一品夫人”，當是一種封號，是女性因品德原因所能獲得的最高封賞吧。而duchess（her grace）則主要取決於身份地位。這是否是兩者的些微差別呢？
當然了，“一品夫人”多是皇親國戚或官宦妻女，這也是當時社會的實際情況。
上麵譯文中，受人讚賞的，主要是這幾句：
The more she read, the more she liked it, and before very long she had read several acts. She felt the power of the words and their lingering fragrance. Long after she had finished reading, when she had laid down the book and was sitting there rapt and silent, the lines continued to ring on in her head.
黛玉......從頭看去，越看越愛，不頓飯時，已看了好幾出了。但覺詞句警人，餘香滿口。一麵看了，隻管出神，心內還默默記誦。
