<< review queue entry 37582 - submitted by 'miles' >> Editor: myself, I am not over-enthusiastic with "Red Mansions". But: - it's the title of a well-known English version; so it's all right in order to find more information about the book; - Wp doesn't say it's an error (who is Wp anyway?). It quotes *one* scholar who doesn't like the title. No *error* is suggested. Any translation will always differ from the original. - "Chamber" is no more satisfying. This title carries _lots_ of overtones. |
