The Forgotten Lighter | 被遗忘的打火机

English Original

Three men won a contest, earning the prize of spending a year in a room with anything they desired.

The first man, who loved sex, was placed in a room with over two hundred women for the year.

The second man, who loved to drink, was given a room stocked with every kind of beer imaginable.

The third man, a smoker, found himself in a room filled with every variety of cigarette.

Just two hours later, they heard the smoker banging on the door. They ignored him, reminding themselves he was committed for the full year.

When the year ended, they released the men. The first man emerged, barely able to walk after his year of indulgence. The second man stumbled out, too drunk to stand.

The third man came out last, weeping.

They asked him why he had been banging on the door and why he was crying now.

He sobbed, "I forgot my lighter!"


中文翻译

三名男子赢得了一场竞赛,奖品是在一个房间里待上一年,房间里可以放任何他们想要的东西。

第一个男人喜欢性爱,于是他被安排在一个房间里,与两百多名女性共度一年。

第二个男人喜欢喝酒,他得到的房间里堆满了所有能想象到的啤酒。

第三个男人是个烟民,他发现自己身处一个装满各种香烟的房间里。

仅仅两小时后,他们就听到那个烟民在猛烈敲门。他们没有理会,提醒自己他必须待满整整一年。

一年期满,他们释放了这三个人。第一个男人出来了,经过一年的放纵后几乎无法行走。第二个男人踉跄而出,醉得站都站不稳。

第三个男人最后出来,泪流满面。

他们问他当初为什么敲门,现在又为什么哭泣。

他抽泣着说:“我忘了我的打火机!”
