“我想见国王,”在解释完我是谁后,我说。“太好了,”坐在房子角柱附近的垫子上的古老的恩库迈说道。我为你感到高兴。仅此而已,显然他不想再说了。你为什么这么高兴?我问。因为拥有未完成的愿望对每个人来说都是件好事。它让所有的生活都如此令人心酸。
(I want to see the king, I said, after explaining who I was.Wonderful, said the ancient Nkumai who sat on a cushion near the corner pole of the house. I'm glad for you.That was all, and apparently he meant to say no more. Why are you so glad? I asked.Because it's good for every human being to have an unfulfilled wish. It makes all of life so poignant.)
