　　一廂情愿

　　Many years ago， a farmer happened to see the King’s daughter in the capital. He lost his heart to her at once.

　　從前，有個農夫偶然在國都看見了公主，頓時被她的美貌傾倒。

　　After returning， he missed the princess day and night. Soon， he was ill.

　　回家后，天天思念，不久就生病了。

　　His friends and relatives came to see him.

　　他的親人和朋友都來看他。

　　When they knew the reason why the farmer was ill， they thought it was quite difficult to help the farmer， for the King would never consent to his daughter marrying a poor man.

　　他們知道農夫想娶公主后，覺得事情很難辦。因為國王是不會把女兒嫁給一個農夫的。

　　But the sick man sighed sadly： “If I can‘t get the princess， I will be dead.” His friends tried to persuade him， but in vain. So they had to play a trick.

　　可這個農夫叫道：“得不到公主我會死的。”朋友們說服不了他，只好想了一個辦法騙他。

　　Some days later， they came to see the man again and told him they had asked the princess to marry him， but she rejected.

　　幾天后，他們又來看農夫，并告訴他他們去見過公主，但公主拒絕了他們的請求。

　　In fact， they had never done it. But the foolish man believed. However， he did not give up his mind.

　　其實，他們根本沒見過公主。但農夫相信了朋友們的話，可他并不死心。

　　He announced： “if I visit the princess in person， she will say yes.” If he did so， you can guess the result.

　　他認為如果他親自去，公主一定會答應。你可以猜想如果他親自去會有什么結果。

　　Later，people use it to describe the man who only considers his own aspiration， ignoring the objective situation and others’ opinions.
