四、今日短語

五、今日彩蛋

There’s a saying that every end is a new beginning. This is what happened to Brazilian illustrator Rafael Mantesso a few years ago when he divorced his ex-wife and she left leaving behind an empty house with white walls. 有一種說法，每個結束都是新的開始。這說的就是巴西插畫家Rafael Mantesso幾年前的事，當時他和前妻離婚，前妻搬走後僅留給他一棟空洞洞的房子。

“She took her cookware, furniture, photos, her decorations,” Mantesso wrote on Bored Panda earlier. “The only thing she didn’t take was my bull terrier, whom she’d named after her favorite shoe designer: Jimmy Choo.” Mantesso之前曾在國外網站Bored Panda上這樣寫過。“她拿走了她的炊具、傢俱、照片還有她的裝飾品。她唯一留下的就是我的鬥牛犬，她當時還取名為自己最喜歡的鞋子設計師Jimmy Choo。”

Inspired by the blank walls and his dog, Mantesso started snapping pictures of Jimmy running around the house and this was the moment these humorous series was born. 受空空如也的家和狗狗的啟發，Mantesso就開始拍攝吉米在家裡跑來跑去的照片，這也就誕生了這些幽默的系列照片。

“When Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, I grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his ginger-eared pup. Suddenly, I felt his long-dormant inspiration for drawing, for art, for life—returning.” “當吉米玩得累了躺在白牆邊時，我拿起一個記號筆，在他的薑黃色耳朵旁創造了一個新世界。突然之間，我就發現對繪畫、藝術、生活的靈感突然噴發而來。

Mantesso continues to portray his bull terrier in fun scenarios that are the result of the illustrations that now have almost 600k fans on Instagram. Mantesso現在繼續在有趣的場景拍攝他的鬥牛梗，拍攝這些插圖，並且現在Instagram上已經有了近6萬粉絲。
