王冕学画

元yuán朝cháo的de王wáng冕miǎn小时候xiǎo shí hou给gěi东dōng家jiā放fàng牛niú。一yì天tiān雨yǔ后hòu，他tā看见kàn jiàn池塘chí táng里lǐ的de荷花hé huā开kāi得de好看hǎo kàn，心里xīn li想xiǎng：把bǎ它tā画huà下来xià lai多duō好hǎo。

Wang Mian of the Yuan dynasty herded cattle for a landlord as a boy. One day after rain he saw the pond lotuses in bloom and thought: how fine it would be to paint them.

他tā没有méi yǒu钱qián买mǎi纸zhǐ笔bǐ，就jiù用yòng树枝shù zhī在zài沙shā地上dì shang画huà；攒zǎn下xià的de零用钱líng yòng qián，全quán买mǎi了le颜yán料liào。

Too poor for paper and brushes, he drew in the sand with twigs, and spent every saved coin on paints.

他tā白天bái tiān放fàng牛niú，晚上wǎn shang画huà画huà，一yí画huà就是jiù shì好hǎo几jǐ年nián，画huà的de荷花hé huā像xiàng真的zhēn de一样yí yàng，好像hǎo xiàng能néng闻wén到dào香味xiāng wèi。

He herded by day and painted by night, year after year, until his lotuses looked real enough to smell.

后来hòu lái王wáng冕miǎn成chéng了le有名yǒu míng的de大dà画家huà jiā。心里xīn li喜欢xǐ huan的de事shì，天天tiān tiān去qù做zuò，总zǒng能néng做zuò成chéng。

Wang Mian became one of China's famous painters. Do the thing you love, day after day, and you will get there.
