冬咚

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.

基普羅諾對內羅畢的一家報紙表示：“有人覺得我這樣做是為了奧巴馬家的財產(chǎn)，其實不是這樣,！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,�,！彼�說，“事實上,，從那時開始,，我就沒有和任何人交往,。我決定真誠對待瑪利亞。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,，并計劃將其交給當?shù)氐拿绹�大使館。

According to prices on Africa Farming, Kiprono's offer could be worth in excess of $90,000.

按非洲農(nóng)場的行情計算,，基普羅諾的聘禮總價值超過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,�,！彼�說。

Who says you can't put a price on love?

誰說愛無法用金錢來衡量,？(中國日報網(wǎng))
