5. Add insult to injury
這個(gè)片語(yǔ)的意思是“Hurt a person's feelings after doing him or her harm; also, make a bad situation worse”，是不是感覺(jué)很像我們中文里講的成語(yǔ)“雪上加霜”，？我們來(lái)看個(gè)例子： Not only did the club refuse him, but it published a list of the rejected applicants--that's adding insult to injury.
6. On the news
指的是“出現(xiàn)在在廣播或電視新聞中”，例如：The Queen is on the news.
7. Play on
這個(gè)片語(yǔ)也寫作play upon，意思是“Take advantage of or make use of the feelings or weaknesses of another for a desired effect利用……（以達(dá)到目的）”，例如：These health care ads are meant to play on our fears.

Mary Magdalene & Malleus Maleficarum：“女巫”從這里開始？
Mary Magdalene的身份和身世一直是個(gè)迷。即使在《圣經(jīng)》中，關(guān)于她也有不同的說(shuō)法。在《達(dá)?芬奇密碼》的書和電影中，Mary Magdalene 被認(rèn)為是耶穌的妻子；教會(huì)對(duì)她的迫害直接引發(fā)了曠日持久的“捕獵”女巫事件。

Best Known As: Closest female disciple of Jesus of Nazareth
Mary Magdalene is one of several women who followed and "provided for" Jesus of Nazareth during his traveling ministry, according to Christian scriptures. She is also variously portrayed in other ancient texts, medieval legends and modern interpretations as a reformed prostitute, a rich person, a disciple with special gifts and authority, and a model of feminism. Brief direct references to her in the Gospels, the first four books of the New Testament, indicate her importance. She is among the women present at Jesus' execution who later discover his empty tomb, and is the first person to whom he appears after his resurrection. Some Christians also identify her with unnamed women elsewhere in the Gospels, such as the "sinner" who anoints him with costly oil, or one caught in adultery whom he saves from stoning. The mother of Jesus is a different Mary.
"Magdalene" means "of Magdala," a fishing village (modern-day Migdal) on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. She is sometimes called "the Magdalene"... The Bible does not say she was a prostitute. All it mentions of her past is that Jesus had cast seven demons out of her... A 2003 novel and 2006 movie, The Da Vinci Code, popularized the theory that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, had children with her, and thus has descendants -- and that the church over the centuries has suppressed this truth... Basilicas in Vezelay and Saint-Maximin, France, both claim to house her remains.
影片對(duì)白 She was no such thing. Smeared by the Church in 591 anno Domini, poor dear. Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife.
