"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!' "
“我認識他。我去過他家。上禮拜我帶表姐去，她需要治療哭鬧整晚的嬰兒。讓老四賴爺治好了。有回我帶像你一樣的美國姑娘去賴爺屋子。姑娘希望能有魔法讓自己在男人眼中更美。賴爺畫了一張魔法圖，幫助她變得更美。之后我開她玩笑，天天跟她說："圖生效了！瞧你真美！圖生效了！”“我憶起幾年前賴爺畫給我的圖，于是告訴馬里奧，藥師也曾給我一張魔法圖。
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!"
馬里奧笑了。“圖對你也生效了！”
"My picture was to help me find God," I explain.
“我的圖是幫我找到神！”我解釋道。
"You don't want to be more beautiful to men?" he asks, understandably confused.
“你不想在男人眼中更美？”他問道，顯然感到迷惑。
I say, "Hey, Mario—do you think you could take me to visit Ketut Liyer someday? If you're not too busy?"
我說：“嘿，馬里奧——能不能哪天帶我去見賴爺？你不忙的時候？”
"Not now," he says.
“現在不行。”他說。
Just as I'm starting to feel disappointed, he adds, "But maybe in five minutes?" Eat, Pray, Love
我剛開始感到失望時，他又說：“五分鐘后行嗎？”
