這段話是用指定的生詞遍的故事。所以有點牽強……　

Once there was a despotic emperor who made arbitrary decisions.　The people under his dominion all suffered this tyranny. The upper level and lower level were so clear and made obvious that they look almost like the sand and water layer that was separated in a centrifuge. He’s life was transient due to this exorbitant amount of entertainment and alcoholic absorption. But he remained dogmatic to the end. People warned him to choose his heir prudently but his fanaticism in his stolid brain convinced him that his elder son was a much better choice. So he promulgated this decision right before he died. And that was a self-evident mistake; everyone could see his life was an ugly pratfall. The new heir was even crueler than his father.　He planned an artifice to execute this younger brother- a possible threat to his authority. He prevaricated and accused this younger brother for endeavoring usurpation and eventfully finished him. This annexation of sin refracted the widespread totalitarianism of that period of time.
