Unit 2 At Least You Get a Choice 至少你有所選擇
A newly deceased sinner had just entered hell, and was being shown around.
一名罪人去世后，剛下地獄就被帶往各處走走。
“I’ll tell you how it works around here,” declared a particularly hideous devil. “You get your choice of three punishments. Here’s the first.”
“我將告訴你這里的狀況，”一位面目可憎的魔鬼宣布道。至少你有所選擇“你三種刑罰中選一個，這是第一種。”
The sinner watched in horror as he saw men and women repeatedly being immersed in boiling water.
罪人看見男男女女反復地被浸入沸騰的熱水中，嚇得目瞪口呆。
“Here’s the second.” The poor sinner shuddered as he saw unfortunate people being continually hounded by ferocious beasts and cruel demons.
“再看第二種。”可憐的罪人看到一些不幸的人被兇惡的野獸和殘酷的妖怪不停地追趕，嚇得直打哆嗦。
“And here’s the third.” A group was standing knee-deep in shit and sipping tea.
“這是第三種。”一群人站在深及膝部的糞池中喝茶。
“Well, this seems alright,” said the sinner. “I’ll take this one.”

No sooner had he done so than another devil yelled out “OK, tea-time’s over. Get back on your heads.”
