Sugar Painting 糖画

Nothing is more attractive to me than the sugar painting. Watching the process of making a sugar painting is a true feast for my eyes.

The makers， with their great skills， create delicate sugar paintings with simple tools， including a small pot， a spoon， a table and some malt sugar. The sweet smell flew into our noses slowly as the sugar was melted in the pot. After knowing what to paint， the maker scooped a spoonful of sugar and put the spoon above the marble-topped table. He slightly leaned the spoon to a tiny degree， then quickly moved his hands before malt sugar got hard. The golden liquid was scattered accordingly， thick or thin. It was shortly after the maker moved his hands up or down， fast or slowly that a wonderful painting appeared in front of us. Amazing！

Can you imagine such a lively painting being finished in such a short time？ Before malt sugar was completely cold， a thin stick was pressed on the sugar， making it easy to hold. A sugar painting in hand， everyone lost themselves in the joyful atmosphere.

对我来说，没有什么比糖画更有吸引力。观看糖画的制作过程是一场真正的视觉盛宴。

制作者以其高超的技艺，用简单的工具（包括一口小锅、一把勺子、一张桌子和一些麦芽糖），創造出精美的糖画。当糖在锅里融化时，甜美的气味慢慢地进入我们的鼻子里。在知道要画什么之后，制作者舀了一勺糖，手停留在大理石板面的桌子上方。他把勺子微微倾斜，然后在麦芽糖变硬之前迅速移动手。金色的液体相应地散落下来，或浓或淡。就在制作者的手或上或下、或快或慢地移动后不久，一幅美妙的画出现在我们面前。真是令人惊奇！

你能想象在这么短的时间内完成这样一幅生动的画吗？在麦芽糖完全冷却之前，一根细细的竹签被压在糖上，使其方便手拿。一幅糖画在手，大家都沉浸在欢乐的气氛中。
