一天深夜，一位律师坐在办公室里，魔鬼突然出现在他面前。

魔鬼告诉律师：“我有一个提议。你可以赢得你打的每一场官司，直到你终其一生。你的客户会崇拜你，你的同事会敬佩你，你也会赚到你无法想象多的钱。我想要的交换条件是你的灵魂，你妻子的灵魂，你孩子的灵魂，你父母、祖父母，和岳父母的灵魂，以及你所有朋友和法律搭档的灵魂。”

律师想了一会儿，然后问道：“那么，这里面有什么陷阱吗？”

原文： Lawyer's Contract with the Devil

An attorney was sitting in his office late one night，when the Devil appeared before him。

The Devil told the lawyer：“I have a proposition for you。You can win every case you try，for the rest of your life。Your clients will adore you，your colleagues will stand in awe of you，and you will make embarrassing sums of money。All I want in exchange is your soul，your wife's soul，your children's souls，the souls of your parents，grandparents，and parents-in-law，and the souls of all of your friends and law partners。”

The lawyer thought about this for a moment，then asked：“So，what's the catch？”
