不过,也许还有希望。研究人员最近正在讨论是否重新让冥王星成为一颗行星。
THEN: Witches in Salem were burned at the stake
过去认为:萨勒姆的女巫们是绑在柱子上烧死的。
NOW: They were actually hanged
现在认为:那些女巫们其实是被绞死的。
Even if you didn't read Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" in high school, you probably learned somewhere that the townspeople of Salem burned witches at the stake.
就算你上高中时没读过阿瑟•米勒的《萨勒姆的女巫》,你也很可能从别处了解到萨勒姆的镇民将女巫们绑在柱子上烧死。
But that never happened, according to Richard Trask, a town archivist for Danvers (formerly known as Salem Village.) He also chaired the Salem Village Witchcraft Tercentennial Committee from 1990 to 1992 and wrote a book detailing the time period called "Salem Village Witch Hysteria."
但是据丹弗斯(过去被称为萨勒姆村)镇的档案保管员理查德•特拉斯克说,这件事从未发生过。特拉斯克还曾在1990年至1992年期间担任萨勒姆村巫术三百年委员会主席,并写过一本书,详细描述了这段名为“萨勒姆村女巫疯癫”时期。
At the time of the trials, New England still followed English law, which listed witchcraft as a felony punishable by hanging — not burning at the stake, Trask said. In Europe, however, the church labeled witchcraft heresy and did tie up suspected practitioners and light them on fire. You can see where the confusion started.
