conjure up召唤亡灵

用 laid ... in the earth 陈述丧子，平静得可怕，把悲伤直接变成指控。

I have laid ... in the earth.

在郑重说出自己付出过什么代价时用；安慰别人时别照搬，会显得冷。

I have buried seven children with my own hands. ／ I put every one of them in the ground myself.

I have laid 后停半拍，seven babies 一字一顿。

I have laid my whole savings into that little shop, and now it is gone. 我把全部积蓄都投进了那家小店，如今全没了。

先担下罪名再抛出反问，take it on my soul 让追问带上赌咒的分量。

I'll answer for it, but who else can tell us? ／ Put it on me, but somebody has to answer.

take it on my soul 连读，停顿后反问句尾升调。

howl me out of 把流言写成群兽嘶吼，一个动词画出被全村驱逐的恐惧。

They will run me out of town over this. ／ The crowd will drive me out for it.
