每日英汉对照（205-9-4）

一个残酷的国王，去拜见一个算命的，询问她，“我哪天会死？”她告诉他，他会死在一个节日。

“你怎么那么肯定？”国王问。

“任何一天，”她说，“你不管在哪天死，那一天都会成为一个节日。”

A cruel king went to a fortune-teller and asked  her , “On what

day shall I die ? ”she answered him that he would die on a holiday.

“Why are you so sure of that”? asked the king.

“Any day,” she answered, “ on which you die will be a holiday.”

不得民心者，就是这样的下场。
