There is a famous story of what Hulagu did to Al-Mustasim, the last Abbasid caliph, after capturing Baghdad: he imprisoned the caliph in a room full of treasure, and brought him gold on a tray instead of food. The caliph protested that he could not eat gold, and Hulagu asked him why he had not used his money to strengthen his army and defend against the Mongols. The caliph said, "That was the will of God." Hulagu replied, "What will happen to you is also the will of God."
Soon afterwards the caliph was executed by Hulagu. The Mongols did not want to shed "royal blood", so they wrapped him in a rug and trampled him to death with their horses.
有一個著名故事,說旭烈兀侵占巴格達之后,怎樣處置阿拔斯末代君主穆斯塔西姆:他把穆斯塔西姆囚在放滿珍寶的房間,用托盤盛黃金而不是食物給他。穆斯塔西姆說黃金不能吃,旭烈兀就問他為什么最初不用錢加強軍備抵御蒙古。穆斯塔西姆說:「那是上帝的意旨?!剐窳邑;卮穑骸改銓?jīng)歷的,也是上帝意旨?!?BR> 不久,旭烈兀就把穆斯塔西姆處死。蒙古人不想流「王者的血」,用毯把穆斯塔西姆包,躍馬把他踩死。
【附注】Protest除了解作「*」,還可指「力言」或「不滿意地說」,例如:(1)He protested his innocence/He protested that he was innocent(他力言自己無辜)。(2)HeprotestedthatIhadwrongedhim(他申訴說,我枉了他)。
