Yes, said the old man, Yours looks perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart.

是的，老人说，你的心从表面来看很完美，但我绝不会跟你交换。你看，每个伤疤都代表我为别人献出的一份爱我掏出一块心给他们，他们常常会掏出自己的一块回赠给我，以填补我的空缺。

But because the pieces arent exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

但由于这两块不完全一样，伤口的边缘就留下了疤痕，不过我十分珍惜这些疤痕，因为它们使我想起我们共同拥有的爱心。

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasnt returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance.

有时我送出了一瓣心，其他人并没有回赠给我，因此就出现了这些豁口献出爱也是需要冒风险的。

Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?
