画家与齐王的对话

A painter draws a picture for King Qi.

Kind Qi asked him:"What's the most difficult to draw?"

He said:"Dog and horse."

Kind Qi asked him again:"What's the easiest to draw?"

He said:"Drawing a ghost."

Kind Qi asked:"Why?"

He said:"The dog and the horse we can see them everyday.everyone know dog and horse.If I draw a little bit differently,people will notice,but the ghost is invisible,nobody has seen it before,so it's easy to draw.



画鬼最易


有人给齐王画画，齐王问他：“什么最难画？”

这人说：“狗和马。”

齐王又问：“画什么最容易？”

这人回答：“画鬼。”

齐王说：“为什么？”

画家说：“狗和马，人人熟悉，天天看，所以稍有一点不像人们都能看出来。而鬼是无形的东西，谁也没有见过，所以画起来就容易多了。”
