古代有一位国王,特别喜欢让人给他画像。一次,他请来了一位名气颇大的画家。画家一听说是给国王画像,岂敢怠慢。他认认真真画了一张呈上,可是国王看了大为恼火,下令将他杀了。以后,又有好几位画家遭此厄运。这是什么原因呢?原来,这个国王的一只眼睛是瞎的,一条腿是瘸的,那几位画家给他画像时,都未能遮掩他的丑,于是才落得斩首的下场。消息传出以后,有位并不出名的画师自告奋勇地要给国王画
There is a king in ancient times, and he especially likes people to give him portraits. Once, he invited a famous painter. When the painter heard that it was a portrait of the king, he dared to neglect it. He conscientiously painted a presentation, but the king looked very annoyed and ordered him to be killed. Afterwards, several other painters suffered this fate. What is the reason for this? It turned out that one of the king’s eyes was blind and one of his legs was jealous. When the several painters gave him portraits, they failed to hide his ugliness, and they ended up beheaded. After the news came out, an unfamiliar painter volunteered to draw to the king.
