The milkmaid milks the cows twice a day

挤奶女工一天两次为奶牛挤奶。

She was hired as a milkmaid in that farm

她被雇佣为那个农场的挤奶女工。

She was no longer the milkmaid , but an essence of woman-a whole sex condensed into one typical form

她不再是一个挤牛奶的女工了，而是个女性精华--从全体妇女里凝炼出来的一个典型仪容。

||1:The fable we are talking about is known as “The Milkmaid and Her Pail.”||2:A long time ago, a young woman carried a bucket of milk on her head.||3:As she walked, the milkmaid dreamed of a better life. She wanted to be rich.||4:So, she thought she could sell her milk and then use the money to buy chickens.||5:With chickens she could sell eggs and earn more money!

||1:我们说的是“挤奶女工和她的桶”这篇寓言。||2:很久以前有位年轻女子头上顶着一桶牛奶。||3:当这位挤奶女工走在路上时，她开始幻想过上更好的生活。她想要发财。||4:所以，她想她可以卖掉牛奶，然后用这些钱买些小鸡。||5:有了鸡她就可以卖蛋，赚更多的钱。

||With lots of money, the milkmaid could shake her head “no” to all the men in her village who wanted her hand in marriage.|| The young woman was so caught up in her thoughts that she actually shook her head “no.” This caused the pail of milk to fall from her head and crash to the ground. Along with it -- her dreams of becoming rich and independent.

||有了很多钱，这位挤奶女工就可以摇头拒绝村里所有想跟她结婚的男子。||这位年轻女子想得如此入神，她真的摇头说不。这让她头顶上的这桶奶掉了下来撒了一地。随之而来破碎的是她变得富有和自立的梦想。

但弗米尔1657-1658年间的画作“挤牛奶的女工”终于使他的才华家喻户晓。
