Seesaw

Was reading one of my frens' blog
I love reading her writing always
it contains a lot of knowledge
and I learned a lot from her.

I love this post when I read it
and think that I should keep it
as an archive
in my blog.

So,

here you go^^

[愛的蹺蹺板]
The seesaw of Love

********************************************

公園裡的那張蹺蹺板
The seesaw in the park
　

總是要重量相當的兩個人才玩得起來　
always need two people with similar weight to play with

總是要一上一下才會有趣　
It will only be fun when one goes up and another goes down at the same time

當其中一個人不想再玩的時候　
When ther's one that wanted to stop playing

另一個人也就沒辦法玩下去了　
the other one will then have no chance to continue

就好像戀愛　
It is just like falling in love

一個人已經離開了你們感情的蹺蹺板　
When ther's one that left the seesaw of love

它已經失去了原有的平衡　
it will then lost the balance

就算你花再多的力氣
no matter how hard you try

也只能獨自沉重地坐在地面上而已　
you will still be on the floor alone

你何不離開這座蹺蹺板呢？
Why don't you just leave the seesaw?
　

其實人必須適度地無情　
Sometimes we should learn to be heartless

當對方與你的這份感情已經無心再續　
when the other half have no heart in continuing this relationship with you

你也就別再投入多餘的力氣　
then you shall not try any harder

不過是一座蹺蹺板而已　
after all, it is only a seesaw

這個公園裡還有許多其他有趣的東西　
There're still many other interesting things to play in the park

你去玩一下盪鞦韆吧　
You can try swing

去體會一個人來來回回的自由
feel the freedom of being single by swinging thru and fro

********************************************

我不曉得公園裡面還有什麼有趣的玩意兒?
I am not sure what are the other interesting thing that the park have.

是去盪鞦韆嗎? 還是去玩滑梯? 又或坐在涼椅上休息?
Shall I go for the swing? or go for slide? Maybe I can sit on the bench and take a rest?

我只是在想
I just thought that

當一個人打算離開感情的蹺蹺板時, 請好好地告訴坐在另一端的她/他,
When there's one who plan to leave the seesaw of love,
please tell the other one that sit on the other side nicely

你不想玩了, 你要離去了,
that, you don't want to play anymore and you wanted to leave

請對方也站下來
you have to encourage the other half to stand up as well

可不要把她/他一個人靜靜地放下
but not leave her/he quietly

獨自地, 無助地
being lonely and feeling hopeless

一個人傻傻地呆坐在蹺蹺板上 ......
by sitting on the seesaw alone
