一天，有位客人为齐王作画。
One day, a guest was making drawings for the King of the State of Qi.
齐王问他:“你认为画什么东西最难?”
The King of Qi asked him: "What do you think is the most difficult thing to draw?"
客人回答说:“画狗、画马最难了。”
The guest answered: "Dogs and horses are the most difficult to draw."
“那么，画什么东西最容易呢?”齐王又问道。
"Then what is the easiest thing to draw?" the King of Qi asked again.
客人回答说: “画鬼最容易。
"Ghosts are the easiest to draw," the guest answered. "
因为狗、马人人都知道，天天都看见，所以最难画。
People are familiar with dogs and horses, which they see every day, so dogs and horses are the most difficult to draw.
至于鬼呢，谁也没有见过，想怎么画就怎么画。
As to ghosts, no one has ever seen them, so one can draw them any way one likes.
所以最容易画。”
Therefore, ghosts are the easiest to draw."
