一名律师交叉盘问对方的主要证人：“你声称，刚吃完早餐就去过爱德华兹夫人的家。你能告诉陪审团，她说了什么吗？”

“我反对，法官阁下。”对方律师大声喊道。

随后，双方律师们就该不该向证人提这个问题进行了长时间的争论。

经过了45分钟的讨论，最后，法官同意可以这样提问。

“那么，”第一位律师继续问道，“请回答这个问题。12月3日早餐后，你去爱德华夫人家时，她说了什么？”

“没说什么。”证人说，“因为没人在家。”

原文： What Did She Say

A lawyer cross-examined the adversary's main witness：“You claim to have stopped by Mrs. Edwards' house just after breakfast。Will you tell the jury what she said？”

“Objection，your honor。”shouted the other lawyer。

There then followed a long argument between the lawyers as to whether the question was proper。

Finally，after 45 minutes，the judge allowed it。

“So，”the first lawyer continued，“Please answer the question。What did Mrs. Edwards say when you went to her house after breakfast on December 3^rd？”

“Nothing。”said the witness，“No one was home。”
