捨棄了的東西是最有價值的What You Gave Up Is Worth the Most
那個人一直也對你很好，但你始終沒有愛上他。
你自問以你這樣的條件，實在不用屈就。
然而，有一天，他跟別人談戀愛了，你竟然覺得心酸。
不旦心酸，更糟的是你發現自己其實是愛他的。
你對他的戀人妒忌的要死了，你想他回來你身邊，
但又希望保持自已的尊嚴。他現在愈是快樂，你便愈痛苦。
原來，你愛他已經愛得很深了。
釣不到的魚是最大的。
你愛他並不是你自已所以為的那麼深，
你只是沒有你自已所以為的那麼有自信。
吃不到的葡萄也不是酸的，而是太甜了，
甜得你不敢想像，唯有說是酸的。
有些女孩子知道舊情人談戀愛之後，整個人會很失落。
明明是她提出分手的，她自已也有新的男朋友，
卻為甚麼還是有酸溜溜的感覺呢?
原來，放走了的蝴蝶是最美麗的。
捨棄了的東西是最有價值的。
走失了的小狗是最可愛的。
我有一頭失走了的混種小狗，直到今天，我還是覺得牠聰明伶俐，
活潑又美麗。而事實上，我只是大概記得牠的模樣。
你的仰慕者移情別戀了，你就當是你養的小狗走失了吧。
牠的好處，就是牠走了。
還未得到的東西，值一百分；到手以後，就只剩下59分
That person was always good to you, yet you never fell in love with him.
You told yourself that someone with your qualities really had no need to settle.
Then one day he began a romance with someone else, and to your own surprise your heart ached.
Not only did it ache; worse, you discovered that you actually loved him.
You were dying of jealousy toward his lover; you wanted him back at your side,
yet you also wished to keep your dignity. The happier he is now, the more you suffer.
So it turns out you already loved him very deeply.
The fish you fail to catch is always the biggest.
You do not love him as deeply as you suppose;
you are only less confident than you suppose.
Nor are the grapes you cannot reach sour; they are too sweet,
so sweet you dare not imagine it, and can only call them sour.
Some girls, on learning that an old love is seeing someone new, fall into utter dejection.
She was the one who proposed the breakup, and she has a new boyfriend of her own,
so why does she still feel that sour, vinegary twinge?
So it turns out the butterfly you set free is the most beautiful.
The things you gave up are the most valuable.
The puppy that wandered off is the most adorable.
I had a mongrel puppy that wandered away, and to this day I still think of it as clever and quick,
lively and beautiful. In truth, I only vaguely remember how it looked.
When your admirer’s affections turn elsewhere, just tell yourself the puppy you kept has wandered off.
Its virtue lies precisely in being gone.
What you have not yet obtained is worth a hundred points; once it is in hand, only 59 remain
