《美食祈祷和恋爱》Chapter 74 (163):寻找神

"I know him. I go in his house. Last week I take my cousin, she needs cure for her baby crying all night. Ketut Liyer fixes it. One time I took American girl like you to Ketut Liyer's house. Girl wanted magic to make her more beautiful to men. Ketut Liyer draw magic painting, for help her be more beautiful. I tease her after that. Every day I tell her, 'Painting working! Look how beautiful you are! Painting working!' "

“我认识他。我去过他家。上礼拜我带表姐去，她需要治疗哭闹整晚的婴儿。让老四赖爷治好了。有回我带像你一样的美国姑娘去赖爷屋子。姑娘希望能有魔法让自己在男人眼中更美。赖爷画了一张魔法图，帮助她变得更美。之后我开她玩笑，天天跟她说："图生效了！瞧你真美！图生效了！”“我忆起几年前赖爷画给我的图，于是告诉马里奥，药师也曾给我一张魔法图。

Remembering the image Ketut Liyer had drawn for me a few years ago, I tell Mario that I'd gotten a magic picture myself from the medicine man once. Mario laughs. "Painting working for you, too!"

马里奥笑了。“图对你也生效了！”

"My picture was to help me find God," I explain.

“我的图是帮我找到神！”我解释道。

"You don't want to be more beautiful to men?" he asks, understandably confused.

“你不想在男人眼中更美？”他问道，显然感到迷惑。

I say, "Hey, Mario—do you think you could take me to visit Ketut Liyer someday? If you're not too busy?"

我说：“嘿，马里奥——能不能哪天带我去见赖爷？你不忙的时候？”

"Not now," he says.

“现在不行。”他说。

Just as I'm starting to feel disappointed, he adds, "But maybe in five minutes?" Eat, Pray, Love

我刚开始感到失望时，他又说：“五分钟后行吗？”
