The Best Selfie Ever

以上这幅画出自BubbleSwan之手，我那特别的他。曾几何时，他指着画中的狼告诉我，那是我的祖先。我一直半信半疑，因为怎么闻儿味道就是怪怪的。
The painting above was drawn by BubbleSwan, my special one, he showed it to me once saying that he was my ancestor. And I pretty doubted it for that wasn’t smell right.

我时常猜想我的父亲是否长得像他。因为，从我出生起第一次睁开眼睛，唯有我母亲，还有一个两条腿直立的生物在我一旁。那时，妈妈正舔着我的脸颊，而那家伙的两只前爪搭在了我的小爪上。妈妈说：那两条腿是她特殊的挚友，我们与这样的两条腿生物友好相处了几个世纪，他们称自己为人类。
I wonder if my father looks like him or not. As I opened my eyes the very first moment, there’s the only mom and two-leg creature around me. My mom was washing my face with her tongue while that creature was resting his paws on mine. Mom said that two-leg creature was her special, and we lived with these two legs for centuries that they called themselves human.

妈妈从未提起过我父亲。但我打心底明白，我这一身短毛肯定源自他。因为妈妈周身靓丽的黄毛覆盖了她一身，垂柳般地披散下来，胸口一片白毛则彰显了贵族气质。妈妈让我做好准备，那时我还懵懵懂懂，直到有一天妈妈特殊的朋友把我置于四个轮子的大箱子里。就在那一刻，我母亲一味深情地舔着我的脑袋，嗅了我许久许久。我们彼此相望，她的双眼闪闪烁烁，而我的眼睛也跳起了舞。
Mom never mentioned my father. But from the bottom of my heart, I knew my father was a short-haired breed as my fur was just like him while my mother’s yellow fur was downcasting all over her body. There’s white fur covering her chest manifested her royalty. Mom told me that I had to be prepared. I didn’t quite understand until one day mom’s special picked me up into the four-wheel box with him. Mother licked my head and sniffed me for a long time. I saw her eyes were shining, and mine were dancing.

天呐，突然想念她了。嗯，如今我在这儿，与我母亲的挚友生活差不多快5个月了。他叫BubbleSwan，这短短的几个月我早已对他的家人一往情深深几许。对了，我叫阿汪。这名字有点傻，只因我汪汪叫。不过也没办法，主人取的奈何我得。好吧，别笑出声，轻点儿，他睡下了，我可不想吵醒他。狗语有言：睡着的人别惹他。
Oh boy, I miss her. Well, right now here I am, winding up with her special, aka BubbleSwan for almost five months. And I’m already falling for him and his family. He is my special too. I’m WOOF, BTW. Kind of a silly name ah, cuz I’m simply woof. Shh! It’s not funny. My special give me that name, I have to nail it. Besides he’s asleep, so let the sleeping human lie.

我时刻注视他的一举一动，看他敲击着所谓的键盘，玩着所谓的电脑。现在，我也趁此将我的小爪子摸摸他的键盘，以他的名义也来写篇软文。第一次写，可能会有很多错别字，在所难免呐。今天，我将BubbleSwan近期完成的新作分享给我们钟爱的读者们。他画的可是我哦！天呐！实在是太逼真了，每次欣赏这幅画作，我的小心脏总是怦怦跳得厉害。爱死我主人了！
I’ve seen him playing that so-called computer for a while. So I figured it, laying my paws on his keyboard and writing my first article on behalf of his name. Hope there are not too many typos. Today, I wanna share this painting below with our beloved readers. That painting was BubbleSwan’s latest masterpiece. And that’s me in his painting! Man! My heart beats faster every time I see it. I love him. I always have, always will.

他的艺术佳作很好诠释了我的梦境。每晚，我和BubbleSwan准时来到秘密花园。他总能找到一块乐土野餐，那儿自然界的各种千奇百怪尽收眼底。鸟语花香，树叶沙沙，蝴蝶飞舞，阳光明媚。饱餐一顿后，我懒洋洋地躺在他旁边，望着吃剩下的两半奇异果任由蚂蚁四处掠夺，一点儿一点儿的搬往树林深处。彼时，时间仿佛停止了挪动……
That artwork shows exactly what I’ve dreamed about. In my dream, BubbleSwan and I were in the secret garden. He’d always pick up a nice spot for a picnic where all forms of nature around us. Birds were twittering in the trees while the leaves were rustling softly. Butterflies were dancing among the flowers while the sun laid the soft light on us. My stomach was full after dozen of snacks found my belly. Then I laid down beside him, watching ants tearing the kiwi fruit apart bits by bits. It seemed that the time had stopped there…

哦，奇异果，我最爱的水果之一。入口即化，香甜可口，汁多嫩肉，想想口水都要下来了。
Oh, Kiwi, one of my favorite fruit. Once reach my mouth, it melts right away. Sweet and juicy. Oh boy, I’m watering again.

这幅画作耗时约一周左右，我见证了它从轮廓，到草图，然后上色等步骤。瞧我那幅肖像画，毛发画的实在是太太太棒了。知道他是怎么画的么？起初，他就是观察和抚摸我，研究毛发生长的方向，以及光影下毛发的颜色变化，看得我都不好意思了。随后，笔刷一笔一笔的勾勒出我的毛发。天呐，光润色打磨我的肖像就画了三天！
I’ve seen him painting this one for seven days or so. It started with the outline, sketching and painting later. See that profile of me. How splendid that my fur is soooo perfect. You know how he did it? He studied me first by looking at my fur and touching it in order to figure out the direction of my fur grow and the changeable fur color in the light. He then airbrushed my fur one by one. Man! It took him three days to polish my profile.

看到照片和艺术画作的区别了吧。就为这，我想举爪子和主人来个击掌。画完我的肖像，他便着手绘制背景，添加各种元素，为其增色。
See the difference between photo and artwork? I’d give him a high five with my paw just for that. Along with the background, he then went for the other elements as I was finally shown on the canvas perfectly.

印象深刻不是么。当他画完，指指屏幕，我被惊呆了。我的肖像画精美绝伦，他捕获了我的每一丝细节，不论毛发还是眼神细腻逼真。主人说他的这幅画作是4K分辨率，我一头雾水。不过有一点我明白，我可以放大这幅画的任意地方。甚至做成手机和电脑的壁纸也非常漂亮。我早已把它设置成了我的手机壁纸，百看不厌，史上最酷自拍有木有！
Impressive ah 😀 I was stunned as he pointed that artwork to me. My profile was radiant that he captured every detail of me, not only my fur as well as my eyes. He said that the artwork was a 4K resolution. I have no idea what that means, but one thing is certain. I could zoom in nearly every corner of the painting. And it works perfectly as a wallpaper on both phone and pc. I love to set it as wallpaper on my phone. Best Selfie Ever!

为我才华横溢的主人干杯！在此，我也为亲们准备了大礼。或许，你们早已注意到画中的奇异果了吧，那可是我的最爱哦。来，凑屏幕近点，分享下我吃的奇异果，一起来品尝。
Cheers! To my talented master. And for our kindly followers, there’s a gift for you. You probably notice that kiwi in the artwork, that’s my favorite. Now, you get the chance to enjoy the fruit with me. Come closer to the screen.

期望你们喜欢本期内容，像我一样爱上奇异果。好啦，我得溜了，主人快醒来了。汪汪……
Hope you guys like my article and enjoy the kiwi fruit as I do. It’s time. I’m out of here, he’s awakening. WOOF…
