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）。
