genie

In some stories, genies are always found inside a lamp or bottle.

在事里, 灯里或瓶子中总是装有妖怪。

Once you make carrying guns legal, you let the genie out of the bottle.

旦拥有枪支被合法化，后果将不堪。

Now that genetically modified foods are on our supermarket shelves, the genie is out of the bottle and cannot be put back in.

基因食品已经摆在了超市的货架上，放出魔瓶的妖怪再也无法收回。
