The History of Ali Baba, and of the Forty Robbers Killed by One Slave

There once lived in a town of Persia two brothers, one named Cassim and the other Ali Baba. Their father divided his small property equally between them. Cassim married a very rich wife, an
d became a wealthy merchant. Ali Baba married a woman as poor as himself, and lived by cutting wood and bringing it upon three asses into the town to sell.

One day, Ali Baba noticed far off a great clo
ud of dust. As it drew nearer, he saw that it was made by a body of horsemen, whom he suspected to be robbers. Leaving the asses, he climbed a large tree which grew on a high rock, and had branches thick enough to hide h
im completely, while he saw what passed beneath. The troop, forty in number, all well mounted and armed, came to the foot of the rock on which the tree stood, and here dismounted. Each man unbridled his horse, tied him t
o a shrub, and hung about his neck a bag of corn. Then each of them took off his saddlebag, which from its weight seemed to Ali Baba full of gold and silver.
阿里巴巴和四十大盗。
以前在波斯的某个城里,有两个兄弟:一个叫寇米;另一个叫阿里巴巴。 他们的父亲把他稀少的财产平分给两人。 寇米娶了一个非常富有的妻子,所以就成了富商。 阿里巴巴娶了一个和他一样寒碜的妻子,他靠伐木再以三只驴子运送到城中去贩卖维生。
C 一天,阿里巴巴留意到远处尘土飞扬。 当接近之后,发现尘土乃是一群马队经过所造成的,他怀疑他们是强盗。 于是离开驴子,攀登至峻石上有着树枝丛生,且能把他完全遮蔽住的大树顶,而这时他看到了底下所经过的一切。 马队共计四十人,骑术都很高超,而且手上都执有武器,他们到了大树所在的岩石下,便下了马。 C 每人卸去马辔头,把马系在矮木上,并在马的脖子上挂了一袋谷物。 接着每人取下鞍囊──阿里巴巴看出里面像是装满了金币和银器。
