关于一段话

"There I remained a hundred years; and I said in my heart, Whosoever shall liberate me, I shall enrich him for ever:—but the hundred years passed over me, and no one liberated me: and I entered upon another hundred years; and I said, Whosoever shall liberate me, I will open to him the treasures of the earth;—but no one did so: and four hundred years more passed over me, and I said, Whosoever shall liberate me, I will perform for him three wants:—but still no one liberated me. I then fell into a violent rage, and said within myself, Whosoever shall liberate me now, I will kill him; and only suffer him to choose in what manner he will die."

AKI的文中,有一段话过了多少年也都记得。

“他说你知道么,魔鬼被苏丹封在瓶子里。

第一个世纪,魔鬼发誓,谁在这时救出他,他便给他所有的财富;第一个世纪过去了,没有人来。

第二个世纪,魔鬼发誓,谁在这时救出他,他就给他所有的权力;第二个世纪也过去了,没有人来。

第三个世纪,魔鬼发誓,谁在这时救出他,他就满足他所有的愿望,但第三个世纪过去了,仍旧没有人来。

于是,第四个世纪,魔鬼诅咒,谁在这时解救他,他一定杀死他。

……一生一世都落空了。”

真用得好的典故。
