例3、看看抹过大树边，早望见一个酒店，门前窗槛边坐着一个妇人，露出绿纱衫儿来。头上黄烘烘的插着一头钗环，鬓边插着些野花......下面系一条鲜红生绢裙，搽一脸胭脂铅粉，敞开胸脯，露出桃红纱主腰，上面一色金钮。

赛译：Passing beside the tree they saw a wine shop and there on a beach beneath the window and beside the door sat a woman and she was robed in a green robe and on her head were many yellow glittering ornaments of gold. Over her ears she had thrust wild flowers...She wore girdle about her a thin silk skirt of a deep red color. All over her face she had spread powder and paint, and her gown was open at the bosom so that her inner garment showed a pale peach hue. Across the top of this garment was a row of gold buttons, each like to the other.

解析: 选段为孙二娘的出场，原作者用了“露出”、“敞开”、“搽”等字眼，展现了一个略显粗鲁低俗的女性形象，而赛珍珠只选用了较为中性的词语，如“open”“show”“wear”，一定程度上弱化了原文中被贬低的人物形象。

例4、一丈青见宋江义气深重，推不得，两口儿只得拜谢了。

赛译：The The Ten Foot Green Snake, seeing how kind a man Sung Chiang was, could not refuse him.

沙译：Ten Feet of Steel saw how deeply Song Jiang felt his chinalrous obligation. She was unable to refuse.
