Thirty Years and Five Minutes 30年和5分钟

A rich Paris banker begged a well-known artist to do a little thing for his album¹. The artist did the little thing and asked a million francs.

 

“Why, it only took you five minutes to do it,” said the banker.

 

“Yes,” replied the artist, “but it took me thirty years to learn how to do it in five minutes.”

 

一位很富有的巴黎银行家恳求一位著名的画家为自己画一张小画。画家画完之后，向他收取一百万法郎的报酬。

 

“为什么？你仅用了5分钟的时间。”银行家说。

 

“是的，”画家回答，“可是我用了30年的时间才学到这5分钟里所做的事。”
