3. Love Is Blind: 爱是盲目的

This phrase has more than one meaning: we overlook flaws in those we love (that's good), but love can blind us to serious issues (that's bad).

这个短语的意思是：我们会忽略我们爱的人身上的缺点（这点不错）；爱会让我们忽视一些严重的问题（这就不好了）。

How Shakespeare used it:

In The Merchant of Venice, Jessica is shy about her beloved Lorenzo seeing her disguised as a boy, but recognizes that it won't affect his love for her, saying, "But love is blind and lovers cannot see / The pretty follies that themselves commit ..." (Act 2, Scene 6)

莎士比亚原文：在《威尼斯商人》中，杰西卡不好意思让深爱的罗伦佐看到她伪装成一个男孩，不过也意识到这并不妨碍他爱她，她说，“可爱情是盲目的，爱侣们看不到他们自己犯下的那些美丽又愚蠢的错误…”（第2幕，第6场）

现代例句：

"Jonathan Rhys Meyers thinks love is blind. The actor ... thinks it is easy to fall for someone without knowing much about them, just like his alter-ego does...." — ShowbizSpy.com, Feb. 7, 2010
