《美食祈祷和恋爱》Chapter 75 (169):很高兴见到你

"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?"

“我想三个月时间够我教你巴厘禅修，用这方式帮你找到神，”他说，“也许四个月。你喜欢巴厘岛吧？”

"I love Bali."

“我爱巴厘岛。”

"You get married in Bali?" "Not yet."

“你在巴厘岛结婚？”“还没有呢。”

"I think maybe soon. You come back tomorrow?"

“我想再不久吧。你明天回来？”

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.

我答应明天回来。他未说起我搬去和他家人同住的事，因此我也没提起，偷瞄了厨房里的可怕老婆最后一眼。或许还是待在我那可爱的小旅社吧。反正也比较舒服。有马桶，等等。不过，我需要一辆自行车，才能天天来看他。

"I am very happy to meet you," he says, shaking my hand.

该走了。

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.

“很高兴认识你。”他握了我的手说。

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!"

我马上教他第一堂英语课。我教他"高兴认识你"和"高兴见到你"的差异。我说我们头一次遇见某人时才说“很高兴认识你”。在这之后，每回我们改说“高兴见到你”。因为你只认识某人一次。可是现在我们日复一日彼此见面。

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."

他喜欢这堂课，于是予以练习：“高兴见到你！我很高兴见到你！我见得到你！我不是聋子！”我们全笑了，连马里奥也笑了。我们握手，同意明天下午再过来。此时，他说：“回头见。”

"In a while, crocodile," I say.

“再见啦。”我说。

"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!"

“让你的良知引导你。假如你有朋友来巴厘岛，请他们来我这儿看手相——爆炸案后，我的银行现在很空。我是自学成才的人。我很高兴见到你，小莉！”

"I am very happy to see you, too, Ketut." Eat, Pray, Love

"我也很高兴见到你，赖爷。"
