"Bravo!"sadi Shi-yin loudly. "I have always insisted that you were a young fellow who would go up in the world, and now, in these verses you have just recited, I see an augury of your ascent. In no time at all we shall see you up among the clouds! This calls for a drink!" And, saying this, he poured Yu-cun a large cup of wine.
士隐听了，大叫：“妙哉！吾每谓兄必非久居人下者，今所吟之句，飞腾之兆已见，不日可接履于云霓之上矣。可贺，可贺！”乃亲斟一斗为贺。
"Don't imagine the drink is making me boastful, but I really do believe that if it were just a question of having the sort of qualifications now in demand, I should stand as good a chance as any of getting myself on to the list of candidates, The trouble is that I simply have no means of laying my hands on the money that would be needed for lodgings and travel expenses. The journey to the capital is a long one, and the sort of money I can earn from my coping is not enough -"
雨村因干过，叹道：“非晚生酒后狂言，若论时尚之学，晚生也或可去充数沽名，只是目今行囊路费一概无措，神京路远，非赖卖字撰文即能到者。”
"Why ever didn't you say this before?"said Shi-yin interrupting him. "I have long wanted to do something about this, but on all the occations I have met you previously, the conversation has never got round to this subject, and I haven't liked to broach it for fear of offending you. Well, now we know where we are. I am not a very clever man, but at least I know the right thing to do when I see it. Luckily, the next Triennial is only a few months ahead. You must go to the capital without delay. A spring examination triumph will make you fell that all your studying has been worth while, I shall take care of all your expenses. It is the least return I can make for your friendship." And there and then he instructed his boy to go with all speed and make up a parcel of fifty taels of the best refined sliver and two suits of winter clothes.
士隐不待说完，便道：“兄何不早言。愚每有此心，但每遇兄时，兄并未谈及，愚故未敢唐突。今既及此，愚虽不才，‘义利’二字却还识得。且喜明岁正当大比，兄宜作速入都，春闱一战，方不负兄之所学也。其盘费余事，弟自代为处置，亦不枉兄之谬识矣！”当下即命小童进去，速封五十两白银，并两套冬衣。
