A young woman inherited a beautiful garden from her grandmother.

一个年轻的女人从祖母那里继承了一座漂亮的花园。

She loved gardening too and was very proud of her garden.

她也喜欢园艺，并为她的花园感到骄傲。

One day, she saw a picture of a very beautiful plant in a book, and wanted that for her garden.

有一天，她在一本书里看到一株非常美丽的植物的图片，她想把它种进她的花园。

She ordered it and planted it at the base of the stone wall in her backyard.

她订购了一株，把它种在后院的石墙底部。

She took great care of the plant, which grew quickly and had beautiful green leaves on it.

她非常爱护这株植物，它长得很快，长出了美丽的绿叶。

Months passed, but not a single flower bloomed on the plant.

几个月过去了，这株植物上一朵花也没有开。

She became angry, and almost cut down the vine.

她生气了，几乎把藤蔓都砍倒了。

Moments later, her neighbor called and said, "Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers.

过了一会儿，她的邻居打来电话说：“非常感谢你种了这些漂亮的花。

You have no idea how much I enjoy looking at the blooms of the vine that you have planted".

你不知道我多么喜欢看你种下的藤蔓上开的花。

Hearing this, the young girl rushed to the neighbor's side of the wall and saw the most beautiful flowers in bloom.

听到这话，年轻的女人跑到邻居家的墙边，看到了盛开得最美丽的花朵。

All the care she had given to the plant paid off! Only the vine had crept through the narrow opening in her stone wall.

她对植物的照顾得到了回报！只是藤蔓从她石墙的狭窄缝隙中爬了出去。

And for that reason, it did not bear any flowers on her side of the wall but did generously on the other side.

因此，它在墙的这一边没有开任何花，而在墙的那一边却开了许多花。

Just because you cannot see the good results of your efforts does not mean that they bear no fruit.

仅仅因为你看不到你努力的结果并不意味着你的努力没有结果。
