The Feather Pen and the Inkstand
羽毛筆和墨水瓶
There was an inkstand on the desk in a poet's room.
有一個詩人的房間桌上放著墨水。
Some strange sounds came out of the bottle.
一些奇怪的聲音從瓶子里傳出來。
"How amazing! Anything can come out of that inkstand."The inkstand was proud of herself when she heard that.
"多么偉大啊!墨水瓶什么都可以寫出來的。"聽到這些墨水瓶頓時驕傲起來。
"Yes, I am unbelievable." The inkstand told this to a feather pen and other writing materials.
"是的,我是如此地難以置信。"墨水瓶告訴了羽毛筆和其他書寫用品。
"Sometimes, even I am amazed by what comes out of me. One drop of me is enough to fill half a piece of paper."
"有時候,連我自己都感到驚訝。我的一滴就足以填滿半張紙了。"
The inkstand had no idea what was inside of her.
墨水瓶不知道自己的身體里面裝的是什么。
But she thought she had everything.
但她認為她擁有一切。
"Don't you think about yourself at all?
"難道你自己從來沒有想過嗎?
If you had a chance to think about who you really are, you would have found out that the only thing that you can do is drop ink."
如果你有好好想想你是誰,你就會發現,你唯一可以做的就是滴墨水。
The feather pen said that he was the one who wrote on the paper.
羽毛筆說,他是唯一一位可以在寫紙上寫作的工具。
The inkstand and the feather pen had an argument.
墨水瓶和羽毛筆爭論不休。
"You idiot, the poet can write his poems only because of me."
"你這個白癡,詩人之所以能寫詩只因為我。"
The feather pen said that the only thing the inkstand can do is give him ink.
羽毛筆說墨水瓶唯一能做的就是給他墨水而已。
They kept arguing."Inkstand! You don't know anything. People cannot write without a pen."
他們一直在爭論著。"墨水瓶!你什么都不知道。沒有羽毛人是無法寫字的。"
"Without me, you are just a shabby little bird feather." The feather pen laughed at the inkstand.
"沒有我,你只是一個破舊的小鳥的羽毛而已。"墨水瓶反諷道。
At that moment, the poet came back from a concert.
這時,詩人從音樂會上回來了。
He opened the inkstand to write a poem.
他打開墨水瓶寫了一首詩。
He started to write about the fantastic violin performance of that night.
他開始描述那晚的精彩小提琴表演。
"The sound of the violin was just magnificent. But people think it is easy to play the violin."
"小提琴的聲音很動聽。但是人們認為拉小提琴很容易。"
The poet had a different opinion from those of other people.
詩人跟其他人的看法不同。
He wrote that the wonderful violin performance was because of the player's ability.
他寫道,精彩的小提琴表演是因為演奏者的功力。
Neither the inkstand nor the feather pen could recognize that their abilities were all precious until then.
直到那時墨水瓶和羽毛筆才意識到他們的才能都是寶貴的。
They are a gift from God.
因為他們是上帝賜予的禮物。
