图画课上,老师请大家画讲台上的杨桃。从我坐的角度看,杨桃像个五角星,我就老老实实画成了五角星。
In art class the teacher asked everyone to draw the starfruit on the lectern. From where I sat it looked like a five-pointed star, so that is exactly what I drew.
几个同学看了哈哈大笑:杨桃怎么会长成星星的样子?
Some classmates laughed out loud: a starfruit doesn't look like a star!
老师没说话,让笑我的同学坐到我位子上看。他们一看,杨桃真的像颗五角星。
The teacher said nothing, only had them sit in my seat and look - and from there it really was star-shaped.
老师告诉我们:看的角度不同,看到的样子就不同。别人画得和你不一样时,先别忙着笑。
The teacher told us: different angles show different shapes. When someone draws it differently from you, don't rush to laugh.
