古代时候有个人叫王冕，家里很穷，只念了几年书就去给别人放牛。
In ancient times, there was a person named Wang Mian who came from a very poor family and only studied for a few years before going to herd cattle for others.
一个夏天的傍晚，王敏在湖边放牛，忽然乌云密布，下起了一阵大雨，那一阵大雨过后，湖里有很多花荷花，花瓣上清水滴滴，荷叶上水珠滚来滚去。
One summer evening, Wang Min was herding cows by the lake when suddenly dark clouds covered the lake and it started to rain heavily. After that heavy rain, there were many flowers and lotus flowers in the lake, with clear water dripping from the petals and water droplets rolling back and forth on the lotus leaves.
难免看这美丽的花，看得出神决定把它画下来。
I couldn't help but admire this beautiful flower, and I was so mesmerized that I decided to draw it down.
他找来一个小木棒，一边看着美丽的荷花花瓣一边开始勾勒，刚开始画时王敏怎样画的哦？不像，可是他并不灰心，坚持天天画。
He took a small wooden stick and started sketching while looking at the beautiful lotus petals. How did Wang Min draw when she first started? It's not like that, but he doesn't lose heart and insists on painting every day.
此时微风轻拂云彩慢慢有种仿佛怕惊扰了这个专心画画的孩子。
At this moment, the gentle breeze gently brushed against the clouds, as if afraid of disturbing the child who was focused on painting.
以后王眠每天都在湖边坐上几个小时，只是细细的观察荷花的样子。
From now on, Wang Mian would sit by the lake for several hours every day, just observing the appearance of the lotus flowers carefully.
那白色的，红色的，粉色的花瓣在网民的眼里仿佛会说话一样，王绵很用功，渐渐地他拿小木棒的手磨出了茧子。他把所有的精力都投入到画画中去了，湖边的沙地上到处留下了他做过画的痕迹。
The white, red, and pink petals seemed to speak in the eyes of netizens. Wang Mian worked very hard and gradually grew calluses with his small wooden stick. He devoted all his energy to painting, leaving traces of his work on the sandy shore by the lake.
过了一段时间王敏华的有些模样了，一次他像往常一样完成了一幅画，这是他家里的客人看到了露出惊讶的表情，原来这幅画画的太像了，那纸上的荷花就像刚从湖里摘得一样。
After a while, Wang Minhua looked a bit different. Once, he completed a painting as usual, and his guests at home looked surprised. It turned out that the painting was too similar, and the lotus flowers on the paper looked like they had just been picked from the lake.
人们听说竟有如此好的话后都纷纷来观看购买，王冕没有因此而骄傲，而是继续努力，终于成为一名有名的画家。
After hearing such good words, people came to watch and buy them one after another. Wang Mian was not proud of it, but continued to work hard and finally became a famous painter.
