《紅樓夢(mèng)》中“探寶釵黛玉半含酸”這一段描寫寶黛釵三人的微妙關(guān)系，堪稱經(jīng)典，更是把黛玉的小性子展現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致。

小黛玉的眼神和臺(tái)詞功底讓人拍案叫絕，而小寶釵的神情姿態(tài)也都極富神韻。

寶釵生病，黛玉來探望她，正撞見寶玉也在，然后就有了下面這段非常有趣的對(duì)話。

忽聽外面人說：“林姑娘來了。”話猶未了，林黛玉已搖搖的走了進(jìn)來。
Just then a servant outside announced, “Miss Lin is here.” And in came Daiyu.

一見了寶玉，便笑道：“噯喲，我來的不巧了！”
“Ah!” she exclaimed at sight of Baoyu. “I’ve chosen a bad time to come.”

寶玉等忙起身笑讓坐。寶釵因笑道：“這話怎么說？”
Baoyu rose with a smile to offer her a seat while Baochai asked cheerfully, “What do you mean?”

黛玉笑道：“早知他來，我就不來了。”
“If I’d known he was here, I wouldn’t have come.”

寶釵道：“我更不解這意。”
“That’s more puzzling than ever,” said Baochai.

黛玉笑道：“要來時(shí)一群都來，要不來一個(gè)也不來；今兒他

來了，明兒我再來，如此間錯(cuò)開了來著，豈不天天有人來了？也不至于太冷落，也不至于太熱鬧了。姐姐如何反不解這意思？”
“Either everybody comes at once or no one comes,” explained Daiyu mischievously. “If he came one day and I the next, spacing out our visits, you’d have callers every day and would find it neither too lonely nor too distracting. What’s so puzzling about that, cousin?”

三人在薛姨媽家喝酒，寶玉要喝冷酒，寶釵勸阻說對(duì)身體不好。寶玉就聽話不喝了。

黛玉眼里看著，又有些醋意：

黛玉磕著瓜子兒，只抿著嘴笑。
Daiyu had been smiling rather cryptically as she cracked melon-seeds.

正好，雪雁來給黛玉送手爐。黛玉于是借題發(fā)揮：

黛玉因含笑問她說：“誰叫你送來的？難為她費(fèi)心，那里就冷死了我！”
“Who told you to bring this?”demanded Daiyu. “Many thanks. Think I was freezing to death here?”

雪雁道：“紫鵑姐姐怕姑娘冷，使我送來的。”
“Zijuan was afraid you might be cold, miss, so she asked me to bring it over.”

黛玉一面接了，抱在懷中，笑道：“也虧你倒聽她的話。我平日和你說的，全當(dāng)耳旁風(fēng)；怎么她說了你就依，比圣旨還快呢？”
Nursing the stove in her arms Daiyu retorted, “So you do whatever she asks, but let whatever I say go in one ear and out the other. You jump to obey her instructions faster than if they were an Imperial edict.”

寶玉聽這話，知是黛玉借此奚落他，也無回復(fù)之詞，只嘻嘻的笑了兩陣罷了。寶釵素知黛玉是如此慣了的，也不去睬她。
Although Baoyu knew these remarks were aimed at him, his only reply was to chuckle. And Baochai, aware that this was Daiyu’s way, paid no attention either.

后面黛玉巧妙地?cái)?shù)落了一番令人討厭的李嬤嬤。眾人的反應(yīng)也很有趣：

李嬤嬤聽了，又是急，又是笑，說道：“真真這林姑娘，說出一句話來，比刀子還尖。你這算了什么呢！”
Amused yet vexed, Nanny Li expostulated, “Really, every word Miss Lin says cuts sharper than a knife. How can you suggest such a thing?”

寶釵也忍不住笑著，把黛玉腮上一擰，說道：“真真這個(gè)顰丫頭的一張嘴，叫人恨又不是，喜歡又不是！”
Even Baochai couldn’t suppress a smile. She pinched Daiyu’s cheek and cried, “What a tongue the girl has! One doesn’t know whether to be cross or laugh.”

可以見得，黛玉雖然尖酸，動(dòng)輒譏誚別人，但她并不刻薄，更不傷人，還經(jīng)常很幽默，給大家?guī)須g笑。

小戲骨版《紅樓夢(mèng)》的精彩片段還有很多，真感謝這些小演員用精湛的演繹讓我們重溫了這部值得一品再品的經(jīng)典。

正如人民日?qǐng)?bào)微博評(píng)論的：這些00后，不折不扣的后起之秀，用實(shí)力驗(yàn)證了后生可畏。他們是向87版《紅樓夢(mèng)》致敬，也收獲了致敬。不捧殺，更不棒殺，愿這群孩子演技更上層樓，帶給世人更多驚喜。
