Miguel crawled to the far side of the attic, where he kept his ofrenda to Ernesto de la Cruz. On the altar, he had set up posters, candles, and songbooks. He lit some candles beside an album of Ernesto's. On the cover, the famous crooner smiled and held his equally famous guitar. Miguel quickly compared the head of his guitar to Ernesto's. It was a good match. Then he imitated Ernesto's dramatic pose and wide smile.
米格爬到阁楼的另一头,在那儿,他为歌神德拉库斯摆了一个灵坛。灵坛上放着海报、蜡烛和歌曲集。他点了几根蜡烛,放在歌神的一张专辑旁边。专辑封面上,这位家喻户晓的低吟男歌手微笑地抱着和他一样有名的吉他。米格飞快地将自己吉他的琴头和歌神的比较了一下。看上去真像啊。接着,他模仿歌神夸张的姿势,露出一个大大的微笑。
