People who read them are committing an "Othelloerror," in Ekman's jargon, a reference to the Shakespearean character whofalsely believed his wife to be an adulteress. 用Ekman的行话来说,这些人犯了“奥赛罗式的错误”——引述自莎士比亚笔下的人物,此人误认为妻子红杏出墙。
For example, Bell thinks he knows the mysterious words Jesus wrote in the dust while defending the adulteress ("He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone," etc.). 例如,Bell 认为他理解耶稣死后为娼妇所作的辩解,(上帝对那些试图惩罚娼妇的人群说‘你们中没有罪过的人第一个向她投石头吧。’)
