English Original
A pious believer was very serious in his spiritual cultivation. He went to church every Sunday and never missed a ceremony or a baptism. One day, he went to see a doctor. The doctor checked his pulse and gave him a thorough medical checkup, but failed to diagnose anything. "You don't seem to be ill," the doctor said.
"If I were not ill, then why would I be here consulting you?" the man asked.
"Do you indulge in unhealthy pleasures?" the doctor inquired.
"No! I have three meals a day, at regular hours and in a fixed quantity; I don't take an extra grain."
"Then have you been drinking too much? You'd better stop drinking!"
"Of course not! I don't even drink a drop of alcohol; I drink only plain water."
"Do you often work late? Do you know that working late is bad for your health?"
"Never! I turn in at half-past nine every night and get up at six in the morning. This is my daily routine, without the slightest exception."
The doctor began to get confused. "Do you smoke or take drugs?"
"That is impossible! I get sick just seeing others smoke, let alone smoking myself!"
"Then do you indulge in carnal pleasure?" the doctor asked again.
"How can that be? I am still a bachelor, and I virtually do not know what a woman is."
The doctor could not think of anything else, so he gave it a last try. "Do you have a headache?"
"Yes, you are right! I have a severe headache, and no medicine can relieve my pain."
"But of course. The halo around your head is too tight!" the doctor said.

一位虔诚的信徒非常认真地修行。他每个星期天都去教堂，从不缺席任何仪式或洗礼。一天，他去看医生。医生为他诊脉并做了全面体检，却查不出任何问题。"你好像没病啊，"医生说。
"没病的话，我来找你做什么呢？"信徒问道。
"你是不是沉溺于不健康的享乐？"医生询问。
"不会！我每天三餐定时定量，多一粒米也不吃。"
"那你是不是喝酒太多了？酒最好不要喝啦！"
"哪里！我一滴也不喝，我只喝白开水。"
"那你是不是常常熬夜？熬夜对身体不好，你知道吗？"
"哪里！我晚上九点半就睡觉，早上六点就起床，每天如此，分毫不差。"
医生开始困惑了。"那你是不是抽烟或吸毒？"
"唉！那些根本不用谈，我看到别人抽烟都讨厌，何况自己抽！"
"那是不是纵欲过度啊？"医生继续问。
"哪里！我还是单身汉，根本不知道女人是什么！"
医生没办法了，最后又问："那你是不是会头痛？"
"对、对、对！就是头痛，痛得厉害，吃什么药都不好。"
"就是嘛！你头上的光圈太紧了！"医生说。
