中國寓言故事雙語版 第51期:畫鬼最易
One day, a guest was making drawings for the King of the State of Qi.
一天，有位客人爲齊王作畫。
The King of Qi asked him: "What do you think is the most difficult thing to draw?"
齊王問他:“你認爲畫什麼東西最難?”
The guest answered: "Dogs and horses are the most difficult to draw."
客人回答說:“畫狗、畫馬最難了。”
"Then what is the easiest thing to draw?" the King of Qi asked again.
“那麼，畫什麼東西最容易呢?”齊王又問道。
"Ghosts are the easiest to draw," the guest answered. "
客人回答說: “畫鬼最容易。
People are familiar with dogs and horses, which they see every day, so dogs and horses are the most difficult to draw.
因爲狗、馬人人都知道，天天都看見，所以最難畫。
As to ghosts, no one has ever seen them, so one can draw them any way one likes.
至於鬼呢，誰也沒有見過，想怎麼畫就怎麼畫。
Therefore, ghosts are the easiest to draw."
所以最容易畫。”
