Wait — the Salem Witch Trials Were Basically a British Export? 😳

等等——塞勒姆审巫案其实是从英国‘出口’过去的?😳

Wait — the Salem Witch Trials Were Basically a British Export? 😳

原来,在美国还没成立政府之前,就已经从英国进口糟粕了——比如审巫。1662年布里斯托的艾米·丹尼和罗斯·卡勒德审判案,直接催生了数十年后臭名昭著的塞勒姆审巫恐慌。

现在,萨福克和塞勒姆的两家博物馆正联手‘交换笔记’,还搞‘讲座互换’。毕竟,还有什么比一起研究17世纪的猎巫歇斯底里更能体现‘文化外交’呢?

Honestly, if we’re listing all the toxic things Britain exported, witch trials would be somewhere between colonialism and bad pop music.

说真的,如果要列英国出口的有毒文化,审巫案大概排在殖民主义和糟糕流行乐之间。

As a descendant of a woman accused in Suffolk, I appreciate this partnership. It’s not just history — it’s about reclaiming their humanity.

作为萨福克被指控女性的后裔,我支持这一合作。这不仅仅是历史,更是对她们人性的重新确认。

Ah yes, ‘mutual exchange of knowledge’. Also known as: ‘Let’s sell witch-themed merch in both gift shops and call it scholarship’.

啊,‘知识与文化的双向交流’。说白了就是:在两边礼品店卖巫师周边,再称之为学术合作。

Exactly. And let's not pretend 'spectral evidence' wasn't already pseudoscientific nonsense before Salem copied it.

没错,别假装‘幽灵证据’在被塞勒姆抄走之前还算得上正经科学。

We’re unveiling never-before-seen artefacts next year. This isn’t just about the past — it’s about who gets to tell the story.

明年我们将展出从未公开过的文物。这不只是关于过去——更是关于谁有权讲述这段历史。
