声音简介
我把我的画给大人们看，问他们是否被吓到。
But they answered, “Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”
但是他们回答，吓到，为什么会被一个帽子吓到？
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.
那话不是一个帽子，而是一条蟒蛇，正在消化一头大象。
But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly.
但是既然大人们都看不懂，我就画了另外一幅，我画了蟒蛇的肚子里的情况，这样大人们能够看清。
They always need to have things explained. MyDrawing Number Two looked like this:

他们总是需要解释。我的第二幅画是这样的。
The grown-ups’ response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar.
这次大人们的反应，是劝我把我画的蟒蛇，无论是肚子里的还是肚子外的，放到一边，要把我的精力放在地理，历史算术和语法上。
That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter.
那就是为什么在六岁的时候我就放弃了，可能成为一名画家的伟大职业。
