莎士比亚在其剧作《威尼斯商人》里首次指出“爱情是盲目的”。先看诗句 www.6park.com
JESSICA:  www.6park.com
Here, catch this casket; it is worth the pains. 
I am glad 'tis night, you do not look on me, 
For I am much ashamed of my exchange: 
But love is blind and lovers cannot see 
The pretty follies that themselves commit; 
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush 
To see me thus transformed to a boy.  www.6park.com
第四行  www.6park.com
But love is blind and lovers cannot see  www.6park.com
大意为：“爱是瞎的，而恋人们都看不见什么。” 后来，Love is blind 竟然成了名言。汉语里常译作： www.6park.com
“情人眼里出西施” www.6park.com
真得感谢这位译者，翻译得这么美，具有东方的古色古香，十分醉人！有时甚至有种感觉，这个汉语句子才是原文。 www.6park.com
第六行： www.6park.com
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush  www.6park.com
则间接点明了爱神丘比特是个瞎孩子。 www.6park.com
在其另一剧作《仲夏夜之梦》中，莎士比亚对丘比特则作了更细致的描述： www.6park.com
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste;
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:
And therefore is love said to be a child,
Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd. www.6park.com
第二行： www.6park.com
“And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.” www.6park.com
说小爱神丘比特是个长着翅膀的盲童：能飞则疾而致远，目盲则观而无视，年幼则任意妄为。于是，古今中外只看他飞来飞去，拿着小弓箭射着玩儿。形象虽然可爱，但造成的冤案很多： www.6park.com
- 帕里斯和海伦，居然点燃了特洛伊的战火 （看来是故意射到金苹果上了。）
- 朱丽叶和罗密欧，以死亡来结束死亡的仇恨 （射到死人血上了，这次确实是太过分了。）
- 终身处女，伊丽莎白一世 （估计是射到苏格兰风笛上了。）
- 查理斯和黛安娜，过于拥挤的爱情 （从卡米拉的古董里，捡了根锈箭，射向了一位金发少女。）

传咱们中国专司婚姻者是位月下老人：这老人却不用箭射，肩袋夜行，每欲人婚姻，则出袋中红绳，拴男女二人小趾，人不之视也。此老虽不盲，然年迈不良于行，每醉酒懒惰，则不细择，逢人胡乱栓之。如世之老耄娶少艾，鲜花植牛矢诸般，皆此老倦时所为，殊为可恨。亦有冤案：  www.6park.com
- 刘玄德娶孙尚香 ，半百老人娶了个二八少女
- 董卓纳貂蝉，实在是肥猪吃兰花
- 陈世美与秦香莲，喜新忘旧
- 张君瑞遇崔莺莺，始成终弃
