与此同时,
I'm working on those peasants around a dish of potatoes again.
我又开始画那副农民围坐在一盘土豆旁的画了。
I hope that the painting of those potato eaters will progress a bit.
我希望这幅吃土豆的人的画会有所进步。
You see, I really wanted to make it so that

让人们能看出这些人,
eating their potatoes by the light of their little lamp on the table,
他们就着桌上黄昏的灯光吃着他们的土豆,
They've... they have tilled the earth themselves.
他们...他们亲自在田间耕作,
with these hands they are putting in the dish,
用的正是这双吃土豆的手,
so the whole thing speaks of manual labour,
所以这些土豆代表了他们的体力劳动,
and thus they have honestly earned their food.
因此这些食物是他们老老实实挣来的。
