Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

你网球打得真好,还得过那么多国际大奖!每次看你比赛,感觉你轻轻松松就赢了。 哪里啊!那是你没看到我辛苦练习的一面,没有人随随便便就能成功的。 我从小也对网球感兴趣,但是到现在还是打得不怎么样。 你知道吗?不管春夏秋冬,我练球从来没有休息过一天。 真是不容易啊!看来我只看到了你成功时获得的鲜花,却没注意到你成功前流下的汗水。 任何成功都要通过努力才能得到。只要你坚持练习,我相信你也会越打越好的。

Pinyin

Nǐ wǎngqiú dǎ de zhēnhǎo, hái déguo nàme duō guójì dàjiǎng! Měicì kàn nǐ bǐsài, gǎnjué nǐ qīngqīngsōngsōng jiù yíng le. Nǎlǐ a!

English

You play tennis really well, and you’ve even won so many international awards! Every time I watch you play, it feels like you win easily. Not at all! You just didn’t see me practicing hard. No one succeeds so easily. I've been interested in tennis since I was little, but I'm still not very good at it. Do you know? No matter spring, summer, autumn, or winter, I have never taken a day off from practice. It's really not easy! It seems I only saw the flowers you received when you succeeded, but didn't notice the sweat you shed before your success. Any success can only be achieved through hard work. As long as you keep practicing, I believe you will also play better and better.
