Ch. 3: 刀斷刃,人斷腸 (Link)

"他們的笑聲,傅紅雪好像根本沒有聽見。他臉上還是全無表情,慢慢地鑽過柵欄,拖著沉重的腳步,一步步往前。他身上的衣服不知何時又已濕透。紫衫少年的笑聲突然一起停頓——也不知是誰,首先看到了地上的腳印,然後就沒有人還能笑得出。因為大家都已發現,他每走一步,地上就留下一個很深的腳印,就像是刀刻出來一般的腳印。"


Translation:
Their laughter didn't appear to be heard by Fu Hongxue at all. His face expressionless, he slowly worked his way through the gap in the gate, dragging his heavy foot, going forward step by step. His clothes appeared damp again. The group of youngsters in purple robes suddenly stopped laughing--it's not known who was the first, but someone saw the footprint left on the ground, and no one could bring himself to laugh after that; because everyone discovered it then, that there was left on the ground a deep-set footprint as if it were carved by a sabre.


I remember when I was younger, I saw the series made by TVB where Hugo Ng played Fu Hongxue. This is one of the most memorable scenes, if not THE most memorable scene for me. And now, reading it in the original text, it's even more powerful! =D
