Listen to this: the dearness of kings.

请你们听听这个：国王的代价。

For a moment she remained motionless; then she raised on him eyes of such despairing dearness that he half-released her waist from his hold.

一时间她呆着一动不动，然后抬起头看着他，眼中失望的神情一览无余，他不觉松开了搂在她腰间的双手。

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

一件事物价值的高低，取决于它是否需要付出巨大代价才能得到。
