这场戏：搜出布娃娃抓走妻子
第 15 章 · 共 29 章 · 4'23"
奇弗拿着逮捕令闯进普罗克特家，搜出伊丽莎白的布娃娃，娃娃肚子里扎着针。普罗克特一眼看穿：This warrant's vengeance!（这张逮捕令就是复仇！）。奇弗还想讲公道，普罗克特回他 God will not let you wash your hands of this（上帝不会让你在这件事上洗手脱身）。想学当众顶撞、戳穿假公道的说法，这段最硬。

奇弗带着逮捕令上门，普罗克特一眼看穿，喊 I hope you're not taking this for proof, Mister!（我希望你没把这当成证据，先生！）。可奇弗真从家里搜出伊丽莎白的布娃娃：I find here a poppet Goody Proctor keeps（我在这儿找到一个普罗克特太太留着的布娃娃），娃娃肚子里扎着一根针。他冲黑尔发火：You are a broken minister（你是个破了产的牧师）。他看透这场抓捕：vengeance is walking Salem（是复仇在塞勒姆游荡），This warrant's vengeance（这张逮捕令就是复仇），又回黑尔 God will not let you wash your hands of this（上帝不会让你在这件事上洗手脱身）。伊丽莎白被带走前只留一句 I will bring you home（我会把你带回家）。想学顶撞权威、戳穿假公道的英文，这段最硬。
