That's Not Fair | 这不公平

English Original

A man died and was taken to his place of eternal torment by the devil.

As he passed sulfurous pits and shrieking sinners, he saw a man he recognized as a lawyer making love to a beautiful woman.

"That's not fair," he complained. "I face torment for all eternity, and that lawyer gets to spend it making love to a beautiful woman."

"Shut up!" barked the devil, jabbing the man with his pitchfork. "Who are you to question her punishment?"


中文翻译

一个人死后,被魔鬼带到了他永恒的折磨之地。

当他经过硫磺坑和尖叫的罪人时,他看到一个他认出来是律师的男人,正与一位美丽的女子做爱。

“这不公平,”他抱怨道。“我要面对永恒的折磨,而那个律师却能和一个美女做爱度过。”

“闭嘴!”魔鬼吼道,用他的干草叉戳了戳这个人。“你凭什么质疑的惩罚?”
