I'd been walking around like what the Buddhists call a hungry ghost: always focused on the bite that was yet to come, not the one in my mouth.

我就像佛教徒所说的“饿鬼”一样四处游荡：总是专注于即将到来的一咬，而不是嘴里的那一口。

And, the Hungry ghost Festival occurs during ghost month (the seventh month of the Chinese calendar) when spirits are believed to emerge from the lower realm.

而在而在鬼月(也就是农历的七月)的饿鬼节，人们认为鬼魂会从地下世界来到阳界。
