英文原文:
Emily: Actually, there's a way to keep the kitchen god from telling the bad things you did.
Joice: What is it? Tell me! Will it work for Lester, too?
Emily: I think so! Just serve a lot of sweet dishes next week. That will make the kitchen god say sweet things about you!
Joice: Hmm. Are you sure that will work? I already tried giving chocolate to Lester.
Emily: And what happened?
Joice: His face broke out and he said it was my fault!

乔伊丝:呣。你确定那会有效吗?我已经试过请莱斯特吃巧克力了。
艾蜜莉:那后来呢?
乔伊丝:他脸上的痘痘冒了出来,还说是我的错!
