Due to the popularity of "Secret Garden" and its numerous follow-ups, coloring books are no longer seen as a pastime only to be enjoyed by children.
因为《秘密花园》的流行还有其数不尽的粉丝,人们不再认为这仅仅是一本受小孩喜爱打发时间的绘本了。
"This is not designed for children. Children don't have the concentration and patience needed to finish such a book," Wu Lei, who manages an online stationary shop, told China Business News (CBN). True enough, amateur colorists find the intricate patterns and elaborate designs hard, taking about seven to eight hours to finish.
“这本书不是为儿童所设计的。儿童没有那样高度集中的专心和耐心涂完这类书,”管理网上文具商店的吴磊告诉《第一财经日报》。确实如此,业余五彩画家都觉得这些错综复杂的图案还有煞费苦心的设计很难,要花7-8个小时才能涂完。
Colorists agree that finishing a page is rewarding.
五彩画家都同意涂完一页收获颇丰。
"By simply filling in the colors, I feel as fulfilled as if I had sculpted the Venus de Milo," said one reviewer.
“只是简简单单涂完颜色,我觉得很满足,就好像我完成了断臂维纳斯的雕刻,”一条评论说道。 |
