“芝麻开门”的故事来自阿拉伯民间故事集《一千零一夜》(又名天方夜谭)里一篇故事《阿里巴巴和四十大盗》的一句开山洞门的咒语。
故事简介:
出身穷苦、一贫如洗的樵夫阿里巴巴在去砍柴的路上,无意中发现了强盗集团的藏宝地。他轻而易举地得到了大批财宝,但他并不完全据为已有。强盗们为除后患,密谋要杀害阿里巴巴。阿里巴巴得到了聪明、机智、嫉恶如仇的女仆莫吉娜的帮助,才化险为夷,并战胜了强盗。莫吉娜先后三次机智地破坏了强盗们的罪恶计划,使两名匪徒死在自己同伴的刀下,另37名匪徒被她用滚油烫死。她又利用献舞的机会,用匕首刺死了匪首。最后,阿里巴巴把宝库的一半财物送给了她,并让自己的儿子娶她为妻。作品语言通俗易懂,情节曲折奇妙,生动地表达了人们对美好生活的向往与追求。
The story of "Open Sesame" comes from a spell to open the cave door in the story "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" in the collection of Arabic folk tales "One Thousand and One Nights" (also known as Arabian Nights).
Story introduction:
Alibaba, a poor and penniless woodcutter, accidentally discovered the treasure hiding place of the robber group on his way to chop wood. He easily obtained a large amount of treasure, but he did not take it all for himself. In order to eliminate future troubles, the robbers conspired to kill Alibaba. Alibaba was helped by the smart, witty and hateful maid Morgiana, and then he turned danger into safety and defeated the robbers. Morgiana cleverly destroyed the robbers' evil plans three times, killing two robbers with the knife of her companions and scalding another 37 robbers to death with boiling oil. She also took the opportunity of dancing to stab the leader of the robbers to death with a dagger. Finally, Alibaba gave her half of the treasure in his treasury and asked his son to marry her. The work is easy to understand with a tortuous and wonderful plot, which vividly expresses people's yearning and pursuit for a better life.
