What's the Catch | 有何玄机

English Original

The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer.

"I can arrange some things for you," the devil said. "I'll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you'll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred.

All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls, and their children's souls rot in hell for eternity."

The lawyer thought for a moment and asked, "What's the catch?"


中文翻译

魔鬼造访了一位律师的办公室,向他提出了一个交易。

"我可以为你安排一些事情,"魔鬼说。"我会让你的收入增加五倍。你的合伙人会喜欢你;你的客户会尊敬你;你每年将有四个月的假期,并且活到一百岁。

作为回报,我所要求的只是你妻子的灵魂、你孩子们的灵魂,以及他们子孙的灵魂,在地狱里永世受苦。"

律师思考了片刻,问道:"有何玄机?"
