有人的心原是虎穴，穴口的几朵蔷薇免不了猛虎的践踏；有人的心原是花园，园中的猛虎不免给那一片香潮醉倒。所以前者气质近于阳刚，而后者气质近于阴柔。

Some people's hearts start out as tiger lairs, with the roses at the mouth of the tiger's lair inevitably being trampled by the tiger; some people's hearts start out as gardens, and the tiger in the garden is inevitably intoxicated by the fragrance. So the nature of the former is closer to masculine, and the nature of the latter is closer to feminine.

However, the trampled rose can still bloom, and the intoxicated tiger will wake at times.

英国当代诗人西格夫里·萨松（Siegfried Sassoon）曾写过一行不朽的警句：“In me the tiger sniffe the rose”勉强把它译成中文，便是：“我心里有猛虎在细嗅蔷薇。”
