这场戏：闯庭为妻喊冤被喝止
第 17 章 · 共 29 章 · 3'31"
贾尔斯闯进法庭大喊 Thomas Putnam is reaching out for land!（托马斯·普特南是在打土地的主意），他们就要绞死他老婆了。弗朗西斯跟着喊冤，说姑娘们全是骗子。法庭不吃这套，一句 contempt（藐视法庭）扣下来，还要把他们抓起来。想学硬闯强辩、硬碰硬的说法，这段最冲。
❝ 独白 · 4 句 「我已经跟这女人断了情分」：I have broke charity with the woman
take it upon yourself 擅自做主、自认为有权broke charity with 与人断了情义hard evidence 确凿的证据
「她们全都在骗你们」：They are all deceiving you
in contempt 因藐视（法庭）deceiving you 在骗你who I am 我是什么人
玛莎先被审，只回一句 I am innocent to a witch（我不是女巫，我是清白的）。贾尔斯闯进来，说 Thomas Putnam is reaching out for land（托马斯·普特南是在打土地的主意），又喊 It is my wife you be condemning now（你们现在要定罪的是我老婆）。丹福斯反问 Do you take it upon yourself to determine what this court（你敢自己做主，来断定本法庭）。贾尔斯赌气说 I have broke charity with the woman（我已经跟这女人断了情分），弗朗西斯则直说 The girls, sir, the girls are frauds（姑娘们全是骗子）。哈索恩当场扣帽子：This is contempt, sir, - contempt!（这是藐视法庭，先生，藐视！），丹福斯冷冷问 Do you know who I am, Mr. Nurse?（纳斯先生，你知道我是谁吗？）。想学闯庭喊冤、硬碰硬的英文，这段最冲。

下一章 · 18have no love for不抱好感这场戏：递翻供证词反被盘问「藐视（法庭）」，指公然不服从法庭的规矩。剧里 This is contempt, sir 就是「这是藐视法庭」，哈索恩用它给闯庭喊冤的人扣帽子。

hard evidence。剧里说 he claims hard evidence，就是「他说有实打实的证据」，hard 在这里不是「困难」，而是「过硬、确凿」。
「与某人断了情义」，是古体说法。剧里 I have broke charity with the woman 就是「我已经跟这女人断了情分」，表示情分、善意都没了。
