Nothing, mate! The grass is always greener on the other side. Single Men don't want to be single and attached men wish they were single again. Go out and enjoy life! Stop worrying about things that are not part of your life at the moment.

什么都没有，伙计！草永远是另一边的更绿，花永远是别家的更香。单身男人不想单身，而有主的男人却希望重回单身。出门去享受生活吧！别再操心这些事了，那又不是你目前生活的一部分。
