小美从五岁就开始学习弹。
Xiao Mei started learning to play the piano at the age of five.
刚开始的时候，她觉得很难，差点儿想。
At first, she found the piano very hard and almost wanted to give up.
妈妈她说，只要每天，就一定能学好。
Her mother encouraged her, saying that as long as she persevered in practicing every day, she would surely master it.
于是她每天放学以后都认真一个小时。
So every day after school she practiced diligently for an hour.
几年以后，她弹得越来越好，还参加了比赛。
A few years later, she played better and better, and even took part in a music competition.
在比赛上，她弹的非常好听，大家都为她。
At the competition, the song she played was very lovely, and everyone applauded her.
现在已经成了她生活中重要的一部分。
Now music has become an important part of her life.
她明白了，做事情都要有。
She came to understand that doing anything requires patience.
