……Tumblr 上某些 13 岁的自由派挑起了这破事。推荐阅读：Jonah Goldberg 的《Liberal Fascism》；Sean Hannity 的《Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism》；Arthur Miller 的《The Crucible》；Breitbart 上随随便便任何一篇文章。
…some 13 year old liberals on Tumblr started this shit. Suggested Reading: Liberal Fascism, by Jonah Goldberg Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism, by Sean Hannity The Crucible, by Arthur Miller Literally any post on Breitbart, ever.
……文学作品如此频繁地使用一种对其读者来说早已古老的背景设定，来描绘读者身处的当代政治。文学不仅仅是用来逃避现实的。比如，Arthur Miller 的《The Crucible》讲的是 17 世纪的塞勒姆审巫案，但它的创作初衷是为了回应 20 世纪 50 年代美国的麦卡锡主义审判。
…literature so frequently uses a setting that was already archaic to its readership, to depict that readership's contemporary politics. Literature isn't exclusively escapism. For example, Arthur Miller's The Crucible is about the 17th-century Salem witch trials, but it was written to respond to the McCarthy trials of 1950s America.
……滑冰场。比如维多利亚时代的虚伪拘谨，似乎主要是通过把它当成笑话来看待才被打破的。同样，它借尸还魂后的政治正确也是如此。Arthur Miller 曾写道：“我很高兴自己写出了《The Crucible》，但回想起来，我常常希望自己当时有写出一部荒诞喜剧的气质，而那才是那个局面配得上的处理方式。”
…skating rink. Victorian prudishness, for example, seems to have been defeated mainly by treating it as a joke. Likewise its reincarnation as political correctness. "I am glad that I managed to write 'The Crucible,'" Arthur Miller wrote, "but looking back I have often wished I'd had the temperament to do an absurd comedy, which is what the situation deserved."
……你只能选择支持提出指控的人，或者不支持。（我不是想在这里大放厥词，但那位戏剧教授开玩笑说“我心想，天哪！我居然被选角进了我这辈子最讨厌的戏剧之一——Arthur Miller 的《The Crucible》！”这触及了我注意到的另一个问题。人们似乎并不明白，用来反击他人的手段应该具备对等性和良好的判断力，哪怕仅仅是出于……
…you have to just support the person making the claim or not. (Not to get on a soapbox but the theatre prof joking “I’m thinking, Oh, God! I’m cast in one of my least favorite plays of all time, ‘The Crucible,’ by Arthur Miller!” gets to another issue I have. People don’t seem understand that the tools they use to oppose others should be applied with proportionality and good judgement, if for no other reason…
……揣着明白装糊涂/故意找茬，还是大家真的不了解“猎巫（witch hunt）”这个词的历史，但不管怎样，这套说辞实在让人看腻了。^ 最典型的例子就是 Arthur Miller 的《The Crucible》。
…obtuseness/offense seeking, or if people are genuinely unfamiliar with the history of the term "witch hunt", but either way this is getting rather tiring. ^ The most prominent example of this is Arthur Miller's The Crucible.
