《美食祈禱和戀愛》Chapter 78 (178):我名叫老四賴爺
"I still like to be artist, I like make painting when I have time, sell to gallery. My painting, always the same painting—when Bali was paradise, maybe one thousand years ago. Painting of jungle, animals, women with—what is word? Breast. Women with breast. Difficult for me to find time to make painting because of medicine man, but I must be medicine man. It is my profession. It is my hobby. Must help people or God is angry with me. Must deliver baby sometimes, do ceremony for dead man, or do ceremony for tooth-filing or wedding. Sometimes I wake up, three in morning, make painting by electric lightbulb—only time I can make painting for me. I like alone this time of day, good for making painting.
"我還是喜歡當藝術家，有空的時候我喜歡作畫，賣給畫廊。我的畫永遠是相同的畫——巴厘島是天堂的時候，大約一千年前吧。畫叢林、動物、有胸脯的女人。因爲是藥師，我很難找到時間作畫，但我非是藥師不可。這是我的職業，我的嗜好，我必須幫助人，否則神會發怒。有時必須接生，爲死者舉行儀式，或舉辦銼齒儀式或婚禮。有時我清晨三點醒來，就着電燈畫畫——我只能在這個時辰畫畫。我喜歡這種時辰獨自一人，適合畫畫。"I do true magic, not joking. Always I tell true, even if bad news. I must do good character always in my life, or I will be in hell. I speak Balinese, Indonesian, little bit Japanese, little bit English, little bit Dutch. During war, many Japanese here. Not so bad for me—I read palms for Japanese, make friendly. Before war, many Dutch here. Now many Western here, all speak English. My Dutch is—how you say? What that word you teach me yesterday? Rusty? Yes—rusty. My Dutch is rusty. Ha!
"我真心施法，絕不開玩笑。我永遠只說實話，即使是壞消息。我這一生必須品格優良，否則會下地獄。我會講巴釐語、印尼語、一點日語、一點英語、一點荷蘭語。戰爭期間這裏有很多日本人。對我來說不是壞事——我爲日本人看手相，很友好。戰前這裏有很多荷蘭人。現在這裏很多西方人，都說英語。我的荷語——怎麼說？你昨天教我的詞怎麼說？荒疏？對啦——荒疏。我的荷語有些荒疏。哈！"I am in fourth caste in Bali, in very low caste like farmer. But I see many people in first caste not so intelligent as me. My name is Ketut Liyer. Liyer is name my grandfather gave me when I was little boy. It means 'bright light.' This is me." Eat, Pray, Love
"我在巴厘島屬於第四階層，社會階層很低，像農人。但我看見很多第一階層的人不比我聰明。我名叫老四賴爺。賴爺是我祖父在我還小的時候給我取的名，是'明光'的意思。這就是我。"
