介紹中國畫 Introduction to Chinese painting

假定你是李華。你的美國朋友David生日將至,你畫了一幅中國畫竹,作爲生日禮物寄送給他。請你寫一封信,說明其寓意並表示祝福。

注意:1. 詞數100左右;2. 可適當增加細節,以使行文連貫。

Dear David :

親愛的大衛:

Hows everything going? As your birthday is drawing near, Ive prepared a gift for you. Its a Chinese painting bamboo, which I specially drew for you.

一切都好嗎?你的生日快到了,我給你準備了一份禮物。這是一幅中國畫《竹子》,我特意爲你畫的。

In Chinese culture, bamboo carries many best wishes and excellent qualities. On one hand, it stands straight and stays green all year round, so its always full of life. I wish you as strong and energetic as a bamboo. On the other hand, its hard outside but hollow inside. If compared to a bamboo, one is usually considered to be strong-willed and modest. All in all, we use bamboo to represent a noble and gentle person.

在中國文化中,竹子承載着許多美好的祝願和優良的`品質。一方面,它站得筆直,一年四季都是綠色的,所以它總是充滿活力。祝你身體強壯,精力充沛。另一方面,它外表堅硬,內部空洞。如果與竹子相比,人們通常認爲它意志堅強,謙虛。總之,我們用竹子來代表一個高貴而溫柔的人。

I hope you like the gift and wish you a happy birthday.

我希望你喜歡這份禮物並祝你生日快樂

  Yours,

  你的,

  Li Hua
