9、Necropants
人皮長褲
Icelandic Folklore
冰島的民間傳說
If you're familiar with Icelandic mythology, you know that the Necropants are a weird tidbit of Icelandic folklore that tie into the country's beliefs about witchcraft. To obtain this fine pair of legwear, you have to be a witch first. After that, you must obtain the permission of a man to get his flesh after he has passed from this realm. That's when the real fun begins.
如果你熟悉冰島神話，你就會知道"人皮長褲"是冰島民間傳說中一個聯(lián)系著整個國家對巫術(shù)信仰的奇怪趣聞。要想得到這條神奇褲子的褲管，就要先成為一個巫師。在那之后，你必須得到那個即將死去的人的允許來得到他的皮。接著好戲就開始了。
Once the man has died, you must take his corpse and flay the flesh from the waist down in one piece. As soon as you’ve managed that, you put on the skin-pants and then place a single coin stolen from a poor widow into the scrotum. The coin is to be accompanied by a magical seal, which will result in your new scrotum-wallet never running out of money so long as you never lose the original coin.
那個人一旦死去，你就要拿來他的尸體然后從腰部開始把他的皮整塊得剝下來。在你成功之后，就要馬上穿上這條人皮褲子然后把一個從寡婦那里偷來的硬幣放在陰囊里。用魔法密封好硬幣之后，你就會有一個全新的陰囊錢包啦！只要你不會不小心丟掉原來硬幣，你就會有永遠(yuǎn)用不完的錢了。
