◎ 既有今日，何必當(dāng)初 jì yǒu jīnrì,hébì dāngchū
[if there must be today,then why should there have been other days;if I had known it would come to this,Iwould have acted differently;if it has to be like this now,it's a pity it was even like that in the beginning] 既然有今日的如此結(jié)果,何必在當(dāng)初那么做。用以感慨現(xiàn)今的不如意,而深悔過去的錯誤
寶玉在身后面嘆道:“既有今日,何必當(dāng)初。”——《紅樓夢》
