节食很残酷；这是对人权的滥用。是的，就是这样，她不应该以这种方式操纵自己。她停了下来。这样的思考无非是想出打破饮食的借口。 MMA Ramotswe是由严厉的东西制成的，因此她坚持了下来。
(Dieting was cruel; it was an abuse of human rights. Yes, that's what it was, and she should not allow herself to be manipulated in this way. She stopped herself. Thinking like that was nothing more than coming up with excuses for breaking the diet. Mma Ramotswe was made of sterner stuff than that, and so she persisted.)
