心不在那里，（另想别处，）看什么也看不见，听什么也听不到，吃什么也不晓得味道，
白话翻译
L'âme n'étant point maîtresse d'elle-même, on regarde et on ne voit pas ; on écoute et on n'entend pas ; on mange et on ne connoît point la saveur des aliments.
Pauthier VII. 2.
Celui dont le cœur est ailleurs regarde sans voir, entend sans écouter, et ne reconnaît même pas le goût de ce qu'il mange.
