Harry Saleem, an obese man with too much money and power, faced a choice.

哈里·萨利姆有钱有势、身体臃肿，他正面临着一次选择。

'It's all ready to blow, Mr Saleem, ' he said. 'Just say the word.'

“准备好可以爆炸了，萨里姆先生，”他说，“就等您发话了。”

Then Saleem's men had come, cutting down all the valuable trees and forcing the villagers to move out.

This would provide power for the factories which Saleem planned to build in the area.

'Can you get more? Money is no problem.' Saleem said. 'Tell me what you need, and we'll get it.'

“你能找到更多吗？钱不是问题。”萨里姆说：“告诉我你需要什么，我们都能找到。”

This would provide hydro electric power for the many factories which Saleem planned to build in the area.
