尼泊尔一名7岁的女童日前被选为"活女神"，因为其"睫毛像母牛的睫毛般锐利，声音像鸭子的嗓音般清晰嘹亮"。
Now the youngster's parents have had to leave their jobs because under Hindu tradition she is not allowed to leave her home except for special occasions – and her feet can't touch the floor.
这名女童的父母现在不得不辞掉工作，因为在印度教传统下，除非是出席特殊场合，女童不允许离开库玛丽庙，且脚不能沾地。

Her astrological chart also has to be favourable to the King of Nepal's and youngsters are also tested on fearlessness and serenity.
