这里的“神”恐怕有讽刺意味儿...

直译成“God”怕会有亵渎之嫌。整句的意思有招来某种东西容易,
但当发现这件东西令人不愉快而想摆脱时却发现极其困难。可否译成:
What's done cannot be undone, or
It's more difficult to undo what is done.

god and God are not the same. the first is ironical enough in that sentence, but i made a mistake, i misunderstood
the expression.
so, here's a second try:
devil comes if you ask thus,
devil goes when he pleases.
or a third try:
comes as a god, goes like a devil
or a fourth try:
easy to get a golden bar,
nasty to rid of a rusty chain.
or, maybe for a restaurant:
easy to get a customer in,
tough to get a drunkard out.

看热闹也不好译, 逛庙会, 围观老外, 看车祸烧死人而无动于衷, 都是看热闹, 文化语义学

In an office full of cubicles, PRAIRIE DOGGING seems to be close in meaning

PRAIRIE DOGGING: When someone yells or drops something loudly in a "cube farm" (an office full of cubicles) and everyone's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on.

In most cases, "look on" is enough;-)/

You won't "LOOK ON" when a hand is needed by the needy and the injured, will you?
