《美食祈禱和戀愛》Chapter 75 (169):很高興見到你
"I think three months enough time to teach you Balinese meditation, find God for you this way," he says. "Maybe four months. You like Bali?"
“我想三個月時間夠我教你巴釐禪修，用這方式幫你找到神，”他說，“也許四個月。你喜歡巴厘島吧？”"I love Bali."
“我愛巴厘島。”"You get married in Bali?" "Not yet."
“你在巴厘島結婚？”“還沒有呢。”
"I think maybe soon. You come back tomorrow?"
“我想再不久吧。你明天回來？”I promise to. He doesn't say anything about my moving in with his family, so I don't bring it up, stealing one last glance at the scary wife in the kitchen. Maybe I'll just stay in my sweet hotel the whole time, instead. It's more comfortable, anyway. Plumbing, and all that. I'll need a bicycle, though, to come see him every day . . .
So now it's time to go.我答應明天回來。他未說起我搬去和他家人同住的事，因此我也沒提起，偷瞄了廚房裏的可怕老婆最後一眼。或許還是待在我那可愛的小旅社吧。反正也比較舒服。有馬桶，等等。不過，我需要一輛自行車，才能天天來看他。
"I am very happy to meet you," he says, shaking my hand.
該走了。
I offer up my first English lesson. I teach him the difference between "happy to meet you," and "happy to see you." I explain that we only say "Nice to meet you" the first time we meet somebody. After that, we say "Nice to see you," every time. Because you only meet someone once. But now we will see each other repeatedly, day after day.
“很高興認識你。”他握了我的手說。
He likes this. He gives it a practice round: "Nice to see you! I am happy to see you! I can see you! I am not deaf!"
我馬上教他第一堂英語課。我教他"高興認識你"和"高興見到你"的差異。我說我們頭一次遇見某人時才說“很高興認識你”。在這之後，每回我們改說“高興見到你”。因爲你只認識某人一次。可是現在我們日復一日彼此見面。
This makes us all laugh, even Mario. We shake hands, and agree that I will come by again tomorrow afternoon. Until then, he says, "See you later, alligator."
他喜歡這堂課，於是予以練習：“高興見到你！我很高興見到你！我見得到你！我不是聾子！”我們全笑了，連馬里奧也笑了。我們握手，同意明天下午再過來。此時，他說：“回頭見。”
"In a while, crocodile," I say.
“再見啦。”我說。
"Let your conscience be your guide. If you have any Western friend come to Bali, send them to me for palm-reading—I am very empty now in my bank since the bomb. I am an autodidact. I am very happy to see you, Liss!"
“讓你的良知引導你。假如你有朋友來巴厘島，請他們來我這兒看手相——爆炸案後，我的銀行現在很空。我是自學成才的人。我很高興見到你，小莉！”
"I am very happy to see you, too, Ketut." Eat, Pray, Love
"我也很高興見到你，賴爺。"
