为爱还是为财
For Love or for Money
An elderly man on the beach found a magic lamp. He picked it up and a genie appeared. “Because you have freed me,” the genie said, “I will grant you a wish.”
The man thought for a moment and then responded, “My brother and I had a fight 30 years ago and he hasn't spoken to me since. I wish that he'll forgive me.”
There was a thunderclap, and the genie declared, “Your wish has been granted. You know,” The genie continued, “Most men would have asked for wealth or fame. But you only wanted the love of your brother. Is it because you are old and dying?”
“No way!” the man cried. “But my brother is, and he's worth about 60 million.”
一个老头在海滩上发现了一只魔灯，他拾起魔灯，妖怪出现了。
“你使我自由了，”妖怪说，“我将满足你一个愿望。”
老头想了一会儿，回答说，“我和我弟弟30年前争吵了一次，他至今不和我讲话，我希望他能原谅我。”
在滚滚雷声中，妖怪宣布，“你的愿望已经实现了。”妖怪继续说：“大多数人只向我要求名誉和财富，而你只要你兄弟的爱，是因为你老了，快死了吗？”
“不，不是这样，”老头喊道，“是我兄弟快要死了，他有价值六千万的财产。”
