(单词翻译:单击)

Warren was sitting alone in his office one night when a Genie1 popped up out of his ashtray2.
 
"And what will your third wish be?"
 
Warren looked at the Genie and said, "Huh? How can I be getting a third wish when I haven't had a first or second wish yet?"
 
"You have had two wishes already," the Genie said, "but your second wish was for me to put everything back the way it was before you made your first wish. Thus, you remember nothing, because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes. You now have one wish left."
 
"Okay," said Warren, "I don't believe this, but what the heck. I've always wanted to understand women. I'd love to know what's going on inside their heads."
 
"Sheesh! I wish you'd make up your mind," said the genie as it granted3 his wish and disappeared forever, "That was your first wish, too!"
