flower and its english

問:「有意栽花花不發,無心插柳柳成蔭」英文怎麼說?

答:這一句直譯是Flowers planted intentionally do not bloom, while willows never planted grow into thickets,意譯則可說What you pursue will flee you; what you do not pursue will follow you。意譯的一句,是據以下英文成語稍加變化而成:Follow love and it will flee thee; flee love and it will follow thee(愛情之為物,求之則不得,避之則朝暮相隨)。
