THERE once lived a poor tailor, who had a son called Aladdin, a careless, idle boy who would do nothing but play ball all day long in the streets with little idle boys like himself. —
曾经有一个贫穷的裁缝，他有一个叫阿拉丁的儿子，一个懒散、不负责任的男孩，整天和像他一样懒散的小男孩一起在街上打球。 —

This so grieved the father that he died; —
这使父亲非常伤心，以至于他死了； —

yet, in spite of his mother’s tears and prayers, Aladdin did not mend his ways. —
然而，尽管母亲的眼泪和祈祷，阿拉丁并没有改过自新。 —

One day, when he was playing in the streets as usual, a stranger asked him his age, and if he was not the son of Mustapha the tailor. —
有一天，当他像往常一样在街上玩时，一个陌生人问他多大了，是否是裁缝穆斯塔法的儿子。 —

“I am, sir,” replied Aladdin; —
“是的，先生，”阿拉丁回答说； —

“but he died a long while ago. —
“但他在很久以前就去世了。 —

” On this the stranger, who was a famous African magician, fell on his neck and kissed him, saying, “I am your uncle, and knew you from your likeness to my brother. —

” However, she prepared supper, and bade Aladdin seek his uncle, who came laden with wine and fruit. —
“然而，她准备晚餐，叫阿拉丁去找他的叔叔，他背着酒和水果过来。” —

He presently fell down and kissed the place where Mustapha used to sit, bidding Aladdin’s mother not to be surprised at not having seen him before, as he had been forty years out of the country. —
他立刻跪倒在地上亲吻穆斯塔法曾经坐过的地方，告诉阿拉丁的母亲不要奇怪以前没有见过他，因为他已经离开国家四十年了。 —

He then turned to Aladdin, and asked him his trade, at which the boy hung his head, while his mother burst into tears. —
然后他转向阿拉丁，问他以什么行业为生，这时这个男孩低下了头，而他的母亲哭了起来。 —

On learning that Aladdin was idle and would learn no trade, he offered to take a shop for him and stock it with merchandise. —
得知阿拉丁闲着不肯学习手艺时，他主动提出帮他开一家店并给他备货。 —

Next day he bought Aladdin a fine suit of clothes and took him all over the city, showing him the sights, and brought him home at nightfall to his mother, who was overjoyed to see her son so fine.
第二天他给阿拉丁买了一身漂亮的衣服，并带他到城市里游览，向他展示景点，到天黑时带他回家，他的母亲见到儿子如此漂亮而高兴得不得了。

The next day the magician led Aladdin into some beautiful gardens a long way outside the city gates. —

“We will go no farther,” said the false uncle. —
“我们不再前进了，”假的叔叔说。 —

“I will show you something wonderful; —
“我会给你展示一些奇妙的东西； —

only do you gather up sticks while I kindle a fire. —
只要你拾起柴火，我来点火。 —

” When it was lit the magician threw on it a powder he had about him, at the same time saying some magical words. —
“当火点燃后，魔术师在上面撒了一些他随身携带的粉末，同时念了几句咒语。 —

The earth trembled a little and opened in front of them, disclosing a square flat stone with a brass ring in the middle to raise it by. —
大地微微颤动，前方裂开，露出一个方形的平坦石头，中间有一个铜环可以抬起它。 —

Aladdin tried to run away, but the magician caught him and gave him a blow that knocked him down. —
阿拉丁试图逃跑，但魔术师抓住了他，给了他一击将他打倒。 —

“What have I done, uncle?” he said piteously; —

whereupon the magician said more kindly: —
于是魔术师更加和气地说道： —

“Fear nothing, but obey me. —

Beneath this stone lies a treasure which is to be yours, and no one else may touch it, so you must do exactly as I tell you. —
这块石头下面有一个宝藏，它将属于你，除你之外别人都不能碰它，所以你必须按照我告诉你的做。 —

” At the word treasure Aladdin forgot his fears, and grasped the ring as he was told, saying the names of his father and grandfather. —
听到宝藏这个词，阿拉丁忘记了恐惧，按照指示抓住了戒指，说出了他父亲和祖父的名字。 —

The stone came up quite easily, and some steps appeared. —
石头很容易被移开，露出了几级台阶。 —

“Go down,” said the magician; —
“下去，”魔术师说道； —

“at the foot of those steps you will find an open door leading into three large halls. —
“在那些台阶的底部你会发现一扇通向三个大厅的敞开的门。 —

Tuck up your gown and go through them without touching anything, or you will die instantly. —

These halls lead into a garden of fine fruit trees. —
这些大厅通向一个有着优良果树的花园。 —

Walk on until you come to a niche in a terrace where stands a lighted lamp. —
在你走到露台上一个有着一盏点亮的灯的壁龛之前一直前行。 —

Pour out the oil it contains, and bring it to me. —
倒出它所含的油，把它带给我。 —

” He drew a ring from his finger and gave it to Aladdin, bidding him prosper.
”他从手指上取下一个戒指递给阿拉丁，祝愿他好运。

Aladdin found everything as the magician had said, gathered some fruit off the trees, and, having got the lamp, arrived at the mouth of the cave. —
阿拉丁发现一切都如魔术师所说，摘下了些水果，拿着灯，来到了洞口。 —

” This Aladdin refused to do until he was out of the cave. —
阿拉丁拒绝这样做，直到他走出洞穴为止。 —

The magician flew into a terrible passion, and throwing some more powder on to the fire, he said something, and the stone rolled back into its place.
魔术师勃然大怒，往火上撒了一些粉末，然后说了几句话，石头滚回了原位。

The magician left Persia for ever, which plainly showed that he was no uncle of Aladdin’s, but a cunning magician, who had read in his magic books of a wonderful lamp, which would make him the most powerful man in the world. —
魔术师永远离开了波斯，这清楚地表明他不是阿拉丁的叔叔，而是一个狡猾的魔术师，他从自己的魔法书中读到了一个神奇的灯罩，这会让他成为世界上最强大的人。 —

Though he alone knew where to find it, he could only receive it from the hand of another. —
虽然只有他一个人知道在哪里找到它，但他只能从别人手中接过它。 —

He had picked out the foolish Aladdin for this purpose, intending to get the lamp and kill him afterward.

For two days Aladdin remained in the dark, crying and lamenting. —

At last he clasped his hands in prayer, and in so doing rubbed the ring, which the magician had forgotten to take from him. —

Immediately an enormous and frightful genie rose out of the earth, saying: —
立刻，一个庞大而可怕的精灵从地下冒出来，说道: —

“What wouldst thou with me? —
“你要和我有何事？ —

I am the Slave of the Ring, and will obey thee in all things. —

” Aladdin fearlessly replied: —
”阿拉丁毫不畏惧地回答道： —

“Deliver me from this place! —
“把我从这个地方救出来！ —

” whereupon the earth opened, and he found himself outside. As soon as his eyes could bear the light he went home, but fainted on the threshold. —
”说完，地面裂开，他发现自己已经在外面。只要他的眼睛能够适应光线，他就回家了，但他晕倒在门槛上。 —

When he came to himself he told his mother what had passed, and showed her the lamp and the fruits he had gathered in the garden, which were, in reality, precious stones. —
当他苏醒过来后，他告诉他母亲发生了什么事，并给她看那个灯和他在花园里收集的水果，实际上是珍贵的宝石。 —

He then asked for some food. “Alas! —

child,” she said, “I have nothing in the house, but I have spun a little cotton and will go and sell it. —

Aladdin’s mother, when she came to herself, said: —

“Whence comes this splendid feast? —
“这豪华的盛宴是从哪里来的？ —

” “Ask not, but eat,” replied Aladdin. —
“不要问，尽管吃吧，”阿拉丁回答道。 —

So they sat at breakfast till it was dinner-time, and Aladdin told his mother about the lamp. —
于是他们就坐下来吃着早餐，一直到午餐时间，阿拉丁告诉他母亲关于那个灯。 —

She begged him to sell it, and have nothing to do with devils. —
她恳求他把它卖掉，与魔鬼没有任何牵扯。 —

“No,” said Aladdin, “since chance hath made us aware of its virtues, we will use it, and the ring likewise, which I shall always wear on my finger. —
“不，”阿拉丁说，“既然偶然让我们意识到它的功效，我们就会使用它，还有我将永远戴在手指上的戒指。 —

” When they had eaten all the genie had brought, Aladdin sold one of the silver plates, and so on until none were left. —
”当他们吃完了魔灯带来的一切后，阿拉丁卖掉了其中一块银盘子，接着卖掉其他的，直到没有剩下的。 —

He then had recourse to the genie, who gave him another set of plates, and thus they lived for many years.

”大臣想要她给他儿子，请求苏丹暂时不要嫁出去，给他三个月的时间，他希望他的儿子能给他更丰富的礼物。 —

The Sultan granted this, and told Aladdin’s mother that, though he consented to the marriage, she must not appear before him again for three months.
苏丹同意了，并告诉阿拉丁的母亲，尽管他同意婚姻，但她在三个月内不得再出现在他面前。

Aladdin waited patiently for nearly three months, but after two had elapsed his mother, going into the city to buy oil, found every one rejoicing, and asked what was going on. —
阿拉丁耐心等待了近三个月，但两个月过后，他的母亲去城里买油时，发现大家都在庆祝，于是就问发生了什么事。 —

阿拉丁知道他们的努力是徒劳的，让他们撤销他们的工作，把宝石带回来，这个魔神在他的命令下完成了窗户。 —

苏丹惊讶地收到他的宝石，拜访了阿拉丁，阿拉丁给他展示了完成的窗户。 —

The Sultan embraced him, the envious Vizier meanwhile hinting that it was the work of enchantment.

Aladdin had won the hearts of the people by his gentle bearing. —
阿拉丁凭借他温和的举止赢得了人民的心。 —

He was made captain of the Sultan’s armies, and won several battles for him, but remained modest and courteous as before, and lived thus in peace and content for several years.
他被任命为苏丹的军队队长，并为他赢得了几场战斗，但他仍然保持谦虚和有礼，多年来过着和平和满足的生活。

But far away in Africa the magician remembered Aladdin, and by his magic arts discovered that Aladdin, instead of perishing miserably in the cave, had escaped, and had married a princess, with whom he was living in great honor and wealth. —
但在遥远的非洲，魔法师记得阿拉丁，并通过他的魔法发现阿拉丁并没有在洞穴中悲惨地死去，而是逃脱了，并娶了一位公主，与她一起过着受人尊敬和富裕的生活。 —

He knew that the poor tailor’s son could only have accomplished this by means of the lamp, and traveled night and day until he reached the capital of China, bent on Aladdin’s ruin. —
他知道穷裁缝的儿子只有通过那盏神灯才能做到这一切，他日夜奔波直至抵达中国的首都，决意要毁掉阿拉丁。 —

As he passed through the town he heard people talking everywhere about a marvellous palace. —
当他穿过镇上时，他听到人们到处谈论一座奇妙的宫殿。 —

“Forgive my ignorance,” he asked, “what is this palace you speak Of? —

I will direct you if you have a mind to see it. —
我可以给你指路，如果你想看看。 —

” The magician thanked him who spoke, and having seen the palace, knew that it had been raised by the Genie of the Lamp, and became half mad with rage. —
魔术师感谢那个说话的人，看到了宫殿后，他知道它是被神灯的精灵所建立的，于是愤怒地发疯了一样。 —

He determined to get hold of the lamp, and again plunge Aladdin into the deepest poverty.
他决定得到那盏灯，并再次使阿拉丁陷入最深的贫困。

Unluckily, Aladdin had gone a-hunting for eight days, which gave the magician plenty of time. —
不幸的是，阿拉丁已经出去打猎了八天，给了魔术师足够的时间。 —

He bought a dozen copper lamps, put them into a basket, and went to the palace, crying: —
他买了一打铜灯，把它们放进篮子里，去了宫殿，大声喊道： —

“New lamps for old!” followed by a jeering crowd. —

The Princess, sitting in the hall of four-and-twenty windows, sent a slave to find out what the noise was about, who came back laughing, so that the Princess scolded her. —
公主坐在二十四扇窗户的大厅中，派一个奴隶去找出那噪音是什么，奴隶回来时笑得很厉害，以至于公主训斥了她。 —

“Madam,” replied the slave, “who can help laughing to see an old fool offering to exchange fine new lamps for old ones? —
“夫人，”奴隶回答说，“看到一个老傻瓜拿着精美的新灯来换旧灯怎么能不笑呢？ —

” Another slave, hearing this, said: —

“There is an old one on the cornice there which he can have. —

” Now this was the magic lamp, which Aladdin had left there, as he could not take it out hunting with him. —
”这时就是阿拉丁留在那里的魔法灯，因为他无法带着它去打猎。 —

The Princess, not knowing its value, laughingly bade the slave take it and make the exchange. —
公主并不知道它的价值，笑着告诉奴隶拿走并进行交换。 —

She went and said to the magician: —
奴隶拿着灯走去对魔术师说： —

“Give me a new lamp for this. —

” He snatched it and bade the slave take her choice, amid the jeers of the crowd. —
”魔术师抢过灯，命奴隶挑选，众人嘲笑声不断。 —

Little he cared, but left off crying his lamps, and went out of the city gates to a lonely place, where he remained till nightfall, when he pulled out the lamp and rubbed it. —
他一点也不在乎，停止了哭泣，走出了城门，来到一个荒僻的地方，一直待到天黑，然后拿出灯摩擦了一下。 —

The genie appeared, and at the magician’s command carried him, together with the palace and the Princess in it, to a lonely place in Africa.
魔术师命令，神灯出现了，将他、宫殿和公主一起带到了非洲一个荒凉的地方。

Next morning the Sultan looked out of the window toward Aladdin’s palace and rubbed his eyes, for it was gone. —
第二天早上，苏丹从窗户向阿拉丁的宫殿望去，眼睛一阵发涩，因为宫殿不见了。 —

He sent for the Vizier and asked what had become of the palace. —

The Vizier looked out too, and was lost in astonishment. —

He again put it down to enchantment, and this time the Sultan believed him, and sent thirty men on horseback to fetch Aladdin in chains. —

The people, however, who loved him, followed, armed, to see that he came to no harm. —
然而，人们为他着想，纷纷跟随着带着武器，以确保他的安全。 —

He was carried before the Sultan, who ordered the executioner to cut off his head. —
他被带到苏丹面前，苏丹命令刽子手砍掉他的头。 —

The executioner made Aladdin kneel down, bandaged his eyes, and raised his scimitar to strike. —
刽子手让阿拉丁跪下，蒙住他的眼睛，举起他的弯刀准备砍下。 —

At that instant the Vizier, who saw that the crowd had forced their way into the courtyard and were scaling the walls to rescue Aladdin, called to the executioner to stay his hand. —
就在那一刹那，大臣看到人群闯进了庭院，攀爬墙壁来救阿拉丁，他呼叫刽子手停手。 —

The people, indeed, looked so threatening that the Sultan gave way and ordered Aladdin to be unbound, and pardoned him in the sight of the crowd. —
人群的姿态确实让苏丹感到威胁，他下令解开阿拉丁的绑缚，并在人群的面前赦免了他。 —

Aladdin now begged to know what he had done. —
此时阿拉丁请求知道自己犯了什么错。 —

“False wretch!” said the Sultan, “come thither,” and showed him from the window the place where his palace had stood. —
“你这个虚伪的家伙！”苏丹说道，“过来看！”他从窗户向他指出了他的宫殿曾经的地方。 —

“Where is my palace and my daughter? —

His prayer was granted, and he went forth sadly from the Sultan’s presence. —

For three days he wandered about like a madman, asking everyone what had become of his palace, but they only laughed and pitied him. —

He came to the banks of a river, and knelt down to say his prayers before throwing himself in. —
他来到一条河的岸边，在投身其中之前跪下祷告。 —

In so doing he rubbed the magic ring he still wore. —
在如此做的时候，他擦了擦他仍然戴着的魔法戒指。 —

The genie he had seen in the cave appeared, and asked his will. —
他在洞穴里见过的那个巨灵出现了，询问他的意愿。 —

“Save my life, genie,” said Aladdin, “bring my palace back. —

you must ask him of the lamp. —

” He at once found himself in Africa, under the window of the Princess, and fell asleep out of sheer weariness.
他立即发现自己在非洲，在公主的窗下，因为筋疲力尽而昏昏入睡。

He was awakened by the singing of the birds, and his heart was lighter. —

He saw plainly that all his misfortunes were owing to the loss of the lamp, and vainly wondered who had robbed him of it.

That morning the Princess rose earlier than she had done since she had been carried into Africa by the magician, whose company she was forced to endure once a day. —

“I beg of you, Princess, in God’s name, before we speak of anything else, for your own sake and mine, tell me that has become of an old lamp I left on the cornice in the hall of four-and-twenty windows, when I went a-hunting. —
“王女殿下，我在上帝的名义下恳求您，在我们讨论其他事情之前，请您告诉我，我去打猎时留在四十九扇窗户大厅壁架上的那个老灯发生了什么。” —

” “Alas!” she said, “I am the innocent cause of our sorrows,” and told him of the exchange of the lamp. —
“唉！”她说，“我们的悲伤都是由我无辜造成的。”她告诉他关于灯被交换的事情。 —

“Now I know,” cried Aladdin, “that we have to thank the African magician for this! —

Where is the lamp?” “He carries it about with him,” said the Princess. —
灯在哪里？” “他随身携带着它，”公主说。 —

He wishes me to break my faith with you and marry him, saying that you were beheaded by my father’s command. —

He is for ever speaking ill of you but I only reply by my tears. —

If I persist, I doubt not but he will use violence. —

” Aladdin comforted her, and left her for a while. —

He changed clothes with the first person he met in the town, and having bought a certain powder, returned to the Princess, who let him in by a little side door. —
他和镇上遇到的第一个人换了衣服，并购买了某种粉末，然后回到了公主那里，她通过一个小侧门让他进去了。 —

“Put on your most beautiful dress,” he said to her “and receive the magician with smiles, leading him to believe that you have forgotten me. —
“穿上你最漂亮的礼服，”他对她说，“微笑着接待魔术师，让他相信你已经忘记了我。” —

Invite him to sup with you, and say you wish to taste the wine of his country. —
邀请他来共进晚餐，说你想品尝一下他国的葡萄酒。 —

He will go for some and while he is gone I will tell you what to do. —
他会去取些酒，当他离开时我会告诉你该怎么做。 —

” She listened carefully to Aladdin and when he left she arrayed herself gaily for the first time since she left China. She put on a girdle and head-dress of diamonds, and, seeing in a glass that she was more beautiful than ever, received the magician, saying, to his great amazement: —
她仔细听了阿拉丁的话，他离开后她欢快地打扮起来，这是她离开中国以来第一次。她戴上一条钻石腰带和头饰，照镜子时发现自己比以往任何时候都更美丽。她对魔术师说，让他大吃一惊：“我已经下定决心，认为阿拉丁已经去世了，我所有的眼泪都不能把他带回来，所以我决定不再悲伤，因此邀请你与我共进晚餐； —

“I have made up my mind that Aladdin is dead, and that all my tears will not bring him back to me, so I am resolved to mourn no more, and have therefore invited you to sup with me; —
“I have made up my mind that Aladdin is dead, and that all my tears will not bring him back to me, so I am resolved to mourn no more, and have therefore invited you to sup with me; —

but I am tired of the wines of China, and would fain taste those of Africa. —

” The magician flew to his cellar, and the Princess put the powder Aladdin had given her in her cup. —
魔术师飞到他的酒窖，公主把阿拉丁给她的粉末放在她的杯子里。 —

When he returned she asked him to drink her health in the wine of Africa, handing him her cup in exchange for his, as a sign she was reconciled to him. —
当他回来时，她要求他用非洲的葡萄酒为她的健康干杯，并用她的杯子换他的杯子，作为她对他和解的标志。 —

Before drinking the magician made her a speech in praise of her beauty, but the Princess cut him short, saying: —
在喝之前，魔术师对她的美貌发表了一番赞美的演讲，但是公主打断了他，说道： —

“Let us drink first, and you shall say what you will afterward. —

” She set her cup to her lips and kept it there, while the magician drained his to the dregs and fell back lifeless. —

The Princess then opened the door to Aladdin, and flung her arms round his neck; —
公主随后打开了阿拉丁的门，并搂住了他的脖子； —

but Aladdin put her away, bidding her leave him, as he had more to do. —
但是阿拉丁推开了她，告诉她离开他，因为他还有更重要的事情要做。 —

He then went to the dead magician, took the lamp out of his vest, and bade the genie carry the palace and all in it back to China. This was done, and the Princess in her chamber only felt two little shocks, and little thought she was at home again.
他随后去找已经死去的魔术师，从他的背心里取出灯笼，命令精灵把宫殿和里面的一切都带回中国。这样做了，公主在她的房间里只感到了两次小小的震动，她没有想到自己已经回到了家。

The Sultan, who was sitting in his closet, mourning for his lost daughter, happened to look up, and rubbed his eyes, for there stood the palace as before! —
苏丹正在他的密室里为失去的女儿而悲痛，突然抬头一看，翻掌世堂还在那儿！ —

but it was not to be.

The African magician had a younger brother, who was, if possible, more wicked and more cunning than himself. —
非洲的魔术师还有一个更加邪恶和狡猾的弟弟。 —

He traveled to China to avenge his brother’s death, and went to visit a pious woman called Fatima, thinking she might be of use to him. —
他前往中国为了为兄弟的死寻仇，他去拜访了一个虔诚的女人叫作法蒂玛，心想她也许对他有用。 —

He changed clothes with her, colored his face like hers, put on her veil, and murdered her, that she might tell no tales. —
他与她交换了衣物，把脸涂成与她相似的颜色，戴上她的面纱，然后谋杀了她，以免她说出什么。 —

Then he went toward the palace of Aladdin, and all the people, thinking he was the holy woman, gathered round him, kissing his hands and begging his blessing. —
然后他前往阿拉丁的宫殿，所有的人都以为他是那位圣女，纷纷围拢过来，亲吻他的手，乞求他的祝福。 —

When he got to the palace there was such a noise going on round him that the Princess bade her slave look out of the window and ask what was the matter. —
当他到达宫殿时，周围的喧嚣声引起了公主的注意，她命令奴隶往窗外看看发生了什么事。 —

The slave said it was the holy woman, curing people by her touch of their ailments, whereupon the Princess, who had long desired to see Fatima, sent for her. —
奴隶说是那位圣女，通过触摸治疗人们的疾病，于是公主，长久以来渴望见到法蒂玛，便派人把她请来。 —

来到公主面前，魔术师为她的健康与繁荣祈祷。 —

When he had done the Princess made him sit by her, and begged him to stay with her always. —

The false Fatima, who wished for nothing better, consented, but kept his veil down for fear of discovery. —

“It is truly beautiful,” said the false Fatima. —
“真是美丽啊，”虚假的法蒂玛说道。 —

“In my mind it wants but one thing. —

” “And what is that?” said the Princess. —
“什么一点点？”公主问道。 —

“If only a roc’s egg,” replied he, “were hung up from the middle of this dome, it would be the wonder of the world.”
“如果这个穹顶的中央挂上一颗大鹏鸟的蛋，那将成为世界的奇迹。”

After this the Princess could think of nothing but the roc’s egg, and when Aladdin returned from hunting he found her in a very ill humor. —
之后，公主心里想着的都是大鹏鸟的蛋，当阿拉丁从打猎回来时，发现她情绪非常糟糕。 —

He begged to know what was amiss, and she told him that all her pleasure in the hall was spoiled for the want of a roc’s egg hanging from the dome. —
他求知道出了什么问题，她告诉他说，如果不在穹顶上挂一颗大鹏鸟的蛋，她对大厅的享受将会被破坏。 —

“If that is all,” replied Aladdin, “you shall soon be happy. —
“如果只是这个问题，” 阿拉丁回答道，“你很快就会开心了。” —

” He left her and rubbed the lamp, and when the genie appeared commanded him to bring a roc’s egg. —
他离开了她，摩擦着灯，当精灵出现时，命令他带来一枚火鸟的蛋。 —

The genie gave such a loud and terrible shriek that the hall shook. —
精灵发出一声如此大而可怕的尖叫，大厅都颤抖了。 —

“Wretch!” he cried, “is it not enough that I have done everything for you, but you must command me to bring my master and hang him up in the midst of this dome? —
“卑鄙小人！”他大叫道，“我已经为你做了一切，难道你还要命令我把我的主人带来，然后在这个穹顶中间将他吊死吗？ —

You and your wife and your palace deserve to be burnt to ashes, but that this request does not come from you, but from the brother of the African magician, whom you destroyed. —
你和你的妻子以及你的宫殿应该化为灰烬，但这个请求并不是来自你，而是来自你杀死的这位非洲魔术师的兄弟。 —

He is now in your palace disguised as the holy woman — whom he murdered. —
他现在就在你的宫殿里假扮成那个神圣的女人 —— 他谋杀的那个女人。 —

He it was who put that wish into your wife’s head. —
是他把那个愿望放进了你妻子的脑海里。 —

Take care of yourself, for he means to kill you. —
小心自己，因为他打算杀了你。 —

” So saying, the genie disappeared.
说完，精灵消失了。

Aladdin went back to the Princess, saying his head ached, and requesting that the holy Fatima should be fetched to lay her hands on it. —
阿拉丁回到公主那里，说头痛，并请求找来圣贤法蒂玛给他按摩。 —

But when the magician came near, Aladdin, seizing his dagger, pierced him to the heart. —

“What have you done?” cried the Princess. —
“你做了什么？”公主大声喊道。 —

“You have killed the holy woman! —
“你杀了圣女！” —

” “Not so,” replied Aladdin, “but a wicked magician,” and told her of how she had been deceived.
“不是的，”阿拉丁回答道，“是个邪恶的魔法师”，并告诉她被欺骗的事情。

After this Aladdin and his wife lived in peace. —
此后，阿拉丁和他的妻子过着平静的生活。 —

He succeeded the Sultan when he died, and reigned for many years, leaving behind him a long line of kings.
当苏丹去世时，他继承了王位，并统治了多年，留下了一长串国王。
