Felix Kiprono, a lawyer inNairobi,Kenya, has his eye on someone special: President Obama's daughter Malia.
肯尼亞律師菲利克斯•基普羅諾看上了一個(gè)特別的人——美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬的大女兒瑪利亞,。
His offer to win her hand? Fifty cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats.
為了贏得芳心,，他許諾了什么聘禮呢？50頭牛,，70只綿羊,，還有30只山羊。
"People might say I am after the family's money, which is not the case. My love is real," he told the Nairobian newspaper.
基普羅諾對(duì)內(nèi)羅畢的一家報(bào)紙表示：“有人覺得我這樣做是為了奧巴馬家的財(cái)產(chǎn),，其實(shí)不是這樣,！我這是真愛�,！�
Moreover, he adds, he's been faithful to his beloved since he first became aware of her.
他還稱,，從第一次注意到瑪利亞起，他就一直對(duì)這份感情很忠心,。
"I got interested in her in 2008," he said. "As a matter of fact, I haven't dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her. I have shared this with my family and they are willing to help me raise the bride price."
“從2008年就開始愛慕瑪利亞,。”他說,，“事實(shí)上,，從那時(shí)開始，我就沒有和任何人交往,。我決定真誠對(duì)待瑪利亞,。我已經(jīng)將這件事告訴了家人，他們也愿意幫我積攢聘禮,�,！�
He's currently working on a letter to announce his intentions and plans to give it to the local U.S. Embassy.
目前，他正在寫一份信表明心跡,，并計(jì)劃將其交給當(dāng)?shù)氐拿绹笫桂^,。
According to prices on Africa Farming, Kiprono's offer could be worth in excess of $90,000.
按非洲農(nóng)場的行情計(jì)算，基普羅諾的聘禮總價(jià)值超過9萬美元（約合人民幣56萬元）。
There are some issues, of course. For one, Malia Obama is 16. For another, she'll have to develop a taste for village life.
當(dāng)然,，還有一些問題存在,。其一，瑪利亞才16歲,；其二,，她還得培養(yǎng)起對(duì)鄉(xiāng)村生活的興趣才行。
"Ours will be a simple life. I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali (a porridge) and prepare mursik (a sour milk) like any other Kalenjin woman," he said.
“我們的生活很簡單,。我會(huì)教瑪利亞擠奶,，煮玉米粥，做mursik酸奶,，就像其他卡倫金族的婦女們一樣,。”他說,。
Who says you can't put a price on love?
誰說愛無法用金錢來衡量,？(中國日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng))
