二十年过去了,我成了一名画家。现在,天天画那些应酬画,我都厌倦了。其实,现在哪里有什么风景啊?以前的青山,成了公园;以前的小溪流,成了人工湖;以前的弯弯山路,成了公路……、
Twenty years later, I became a painter. Now, I'm tired of painting those social paintings every day. In fact, where is the scenery now? The former green mountain became a park; the former stream became an artificial lake; the former winding mountain road became a road ,
这时候,我想起了小时候故乡的风景。那里,山清水秀,谁去了都会喜欢,我为何不去那画张风景画呢?我又想:先画一张二十年前的风景,到那里再画一张现在的,对比一下,不更好吗?
At this time, I think of the scenery of my hometown when I was a child. There are beautiful mountains and rivers. Anyone who goes there will like it. Why don't I draw a landscape painting there? I thought again: first draw a picture of the landscape twenty years ago, and then draw a picture of the present one. By contrast, isn't it better?
我迫不及待地画好了一张二十年前的风景,虽然记得不是很清楚,可看在我眼里却是那么地美丽。我来到了江西老家,以为那美丽的一刻又会出现在我眼前。
I can't wait to draw a picture of the landscape twenty years ago. Although I don't remember it clearly, it is so beautiful in my eyes. I came to my hometown in Jiangxi and thought that beautiful moment would come back to me.
可我却大大失望了!秀丽的风景不见了,变成了高高的楼房,一座座摩天大楼正在修建……我问了一个住在这儿的亲戚,只见他叹口气,说到:“国家的进步太快了,到处建房子建路,这风景,哪留得住啊?”国家啊,你进步的这么快,有什么用呢?进步的快是好事,可要为什么破坏这风景呢?我失望地回去了。
But I was greatly disappointed! The beautiful scenery disappeared and became high buildings. Skyscrapers were under construction I asked a relative who lived here. He sighed and said, "the progress of our country is too fast. We build houses and roads everywhere. How can we keep the scenery?" Country ah, you progress so fast, what's the use? Fast progress is a good thing, but why destroy the scenery? I went back disappointed.
从此,那幅画,成了我最珍贵的作品。
Since then, that painting has become my most precious work.
