這場戲：搜出布娃娃抓走妻子
第 15 章 · 共 29 章 · 4'23"
奇弗拿著逮捕令闖進普羅克特家，搜出伊麗莎白的布娃娃，娃娃肚子裡扎著針。普羅克特一眼看穿：This warrant's vengeance!（這張逮捕令就是復仇！）。奇弗還想講公道，普羅克特回他 God will not let you wash your hands of this（上帝不會讓你在這件事上洗手脫身）。想學當眾頂撞、戳穿假公道的說法，這段最硬。
❝ 獨白 · 5 句 罵牧師 a broken minister（失職的牧師）
a broken minister 失職的牧師writes the law 左右法律、把規矩寫定wash your hands of 對…撒手不管、推卸責任
叮囑孩子 speak nothing of（對…絕口不提）
owe me that 欠我這份情speak nothing of 對…絕口不提gone to visit 去看望某人
奇弗帶著逮捕令上門，普羅克特一眼看穿，喊 I hope you're not taking this for proof, Mister!（我希望你沒把這當成證據，先生！）。可奇弗真從家裡搜出伊麗莎白的布娃娃：I find here a poppet Goody Proctor keeps（我在這兒找到一個普羅克特太太留著的布娃娃），娃娃肚子裡扎著一根針。他衝黑爾發火：You are a broken minister（你是個破了產的牧師）。他看透這場抓捕：vengeance is walking Salem（是復仇在塞勒姆遊蕩），This warrant's vengeance（這張逮捕令就是復仇），又回黑爾 God will not let you wash your hands of this（上帝不會讓你在這件事上洗手脫身）。伊麗莎白被帶走前只留一句 I will bring you home（我會把你帶回家）。想學頂撞權威、戳穿假公道的英文，這段最硬。

四個詞的承諾，把宏大的憤怒收回到一個具體的行動上。

bring you home 三個詞放緩，home 落定。
Stay strong up there; I will bring you home. 你在上面撐住，我會接你回家。
“I'll not give my wife to vengeance!”
我絕不把妻子交給復仇！
把抓人定性成『獻祭給復仇』，拒絕就成了一種抵抗。

拒絕把人交出去任人處置時用，語氣決絕；談判桌上等於撕破臉。

Tell them I went to help a friend. ／ Just say I had to go out.
