I'm with the Susannah Crystal now. It's a flat disc about four and a half inches (11 cm) in diameter, and carved into it is a Biblical story in eight separate scenes, so if you think of a crystal cartoon, you're pretty close to what we're looking at.
它也被稱為蘇撒拿水晶，它呈扁平圓盤狀，直徑約11厘米,上面共雕刻了八幅圖畫，連成一個《圣經》故事（也有些教派認為是偽經)，像一組水晶連環畫。
We are in Babylon, where the beautiful, young Susannah is the wife of a rich merchant. While she is bathing in her husband's orchard, two older men intrude and try to bully her into having sex with them. She calls her servants for help, and the furious elders falsely claim that they saw her in the act of adultery. We then see Susannah being led away to almost certain death by stoning, but at that point the brilliant young prophet Daniel intervenes, and challenges the evidence for her conviction. Separating the elders, Daniel asks each of them one searching question, in a classic courtroom drama: under what kind of tree did they see Susannah having sex? The men give conflicting answers, their story is exposed as fabricated, and it is they who are stoned to death, for perjury. In the final scene Susannah is declared innocent and gives thanks to God. We asked Lord Bingham, formerly Britain's most senior judge, to give us a lawyer's take on the story.
這個故事發生在巴比倫：年輕美麗的蘇撒拿是富商的妻子，一天，她在丈夫的果園中沐浴，兩個士師闖了進來，想要非禮她。她大聲呼叫仆從，兩個士師老羞成怒，反而誣告她與人通奸。我們可以看到畫面上蘇撒拿被帶走，并將遭到被石頭砸死的懲罰。這時，年輕睿智的先知但以理插手干涉，質疑罪證。他把兩個士師隔離開，分別向兩人提出了法庭上的經典質問：你們看到蘇撒拿在什么樹下與人通奸？兩人的說法相矛盾，證明罪證是捏造的。最終他們因作偽證被判用石頭砸死。最后一幕中，蘇撒拿被宣布無罪，她感謝上帝的保佑。我曾請英國前首席大法官兼上議院高級法官賓厄姆勛爵從律師的角度分析這個故事。
