棋有棋迷，戏有戏迷，我的爷爷迷的是花，是一个地地道道、不折不扣的花迷。
There are chess fans, drama fans, and my grandfather's fans are flowers. He is a true and true flower fan.
我真不明白，平时他舍不得穿、舍不得吃、舍不得浪费一度电、一滴水，怎么一养起花来，就想把这些都忘了，爷爷为了得到奇花名花，他走南闯北地买花种。
I really don't understand. Usually he is reluctant to wear, eat, or waste one degree of electricity or a drop of water. When he raises flowers, he wants to forget all these things. In order to get the famous flowers, Grandpa traveled all over the country to buy flowers.
我还记得有一次，我正在做甜甜的美梦，忽然耳边传来爷爷的声音：“苗竹，快起来，昙花开了。”我迷迷糊糊地来到桌前。果然，一朵不大不小的昙花真在开放。再看看爷爷，一边手足舞蹈，一边不停地说：“昙花一现，真难得看见。”
I still remember one time when I was having a sweet dream. Suddenly, my grandfather's voice came to my ear: "Miao Zhu, get up quickly. The Epiphyllum is blooming." I came to the table in a daze. Sure enough, a small Epiphyllum is really opening. Look at grandpa again. He danced hand and foot and kept saying, "it's a flash in the pan. It's hard to see it."
后来我才知道，爷爷为了观察到昙花的开放一整夜都没睡。奇怪的是，爷爷还这么有精神，我问爷爷：“您怎么把昙花养的这么好？”爷爷说：“如果要做好一件事，就必须付出很大的代价。”我懂了，不付出怎么会有回报。
Later I learned that grandpa didn't sleep all night to see the Epiphyllum bloom. Strangely, grandpa is still so energetic. I asked Grandpa, "how do you raise Epiphyllum so well?" Grandpa said, "if you want to do a good job, you have to pay a great price." I've learned how it pays off if you don't pay.
爷爷的话在我的人生道路上印上了深深的烙印。
Grandpa's words are deeply imprinted on my life path.
