[J-75] Piracy and Efficacy 盗印与效力
Someone had a bad dream. He dreamed that he was fighting with Satan, who forced him back step by step. At the final critical moment, he grabbed a Bible and threw it at Satan. Suddenly the Bible seemed to be growing into a net and Satan seemed to have grown into a gnat caught in the net. The sight made him so happy that he began to clap his hands. But, again suddenly, the net burst off into nothing and Satan leaped to his feet, shouting, “Ha! Ha! It's a pirated copy. It has no efficacy!”
[译注] 某人作个恶梦。他梦见他和撒旦在打架，撒旦逼他步步后退。在最后关键时刻，他抓住一本圣经，丢向撒旦。突然间，圣经是乎正在变成一道网，而撒旦是乎已经变成一只蚊蚋陷在网中。这光景使他那么高兴，以致他开始拍手。可是，再度突然间，那网爆掉化为乌有，而撒旦跳起身来，喊着：「哈！哈！那是盗印本。它没有效用！」 注： critical (危急的、关键的、批评的)， gnat (蚊蚋：此字之 g 不发音)， clap one's hands (拍手、鼓掌)，
burst off into nothing (爆掉化为乌有)，
leap to one's feet (跳站起来)， pirated copy (盗印本)， efficacy (效用、效力)。 [复习填充] Someone had a bad dream. He dreamed that he was fighting with Satan, who f him back step by step.
