佛羅里達州婦女以吟詠「耶穌」嚇跑入侵者 Florida women frighten off intruder by chanting ’Jesus’

If you ask the 15 women inside Jacquie Hagler’s house what happened, they’ll tell you it’s simple： Jesus scared a would-be thief out of the Florida woman’s home.

你若問在賈姬˙海格勒家中的15名婦女當時發生了什麼事，她們會告訴你其實很簡單：耶穌把正打算下手的竊賊，從這位佛羅里達州婦女的家中給嚇跑了。

At first, those gathered at Hagler’s house for a jewelry party thought the intruder was part of an elaborate gag, using a "water gun" to tease the Florida women.

起初，這些聚集在海格勒家參加珠寶趴的婦女，以為拿著「水槍」來欺負這些佛州婦女的入侵者，是刻意安排的耍寶橋段。

"It’s only a water gun," one attendee reportedly said, while brushing away the firearm allegedly brandished by Derick Lee, who allegedly entered the home wearing a ski cap and bandana across his face.

「那只是水槍，」據稱一名與會者如此說，不把據稱戴著滑雪帽、臉上裹著大花巾登堂入室的德瑞克˙李揮舞的武器當一回事。

Witnesses say Lee then held the gun to the woman’s head and announced, "I’m not joking, I’m going to shoot someone, give me your money."

目擊者表示，李把槍對著這名婦女的頭，並宣稱，「我不是開玩笑的，我會開槍，把你們的錢交出來。」

"When I realized what was going on, I stood up and said, ’In the name of Jesus, get out of my house now,’" Hagler told WJXT-TV. "And he said, ’I’m going to shoot someone.’ And I said it again, real boldly," Hagler continued. "Everybody started chanting, ’Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,’ and he did a quick scan of the room and ran out the door as fast as he could go."

「當我了解到究竟發生什麼事，我站起來說，『以耶穌之名，現在滾出我的房子，』」海格勒告訴WJXT電視台。「然後他說，『我會開槍的。』我又很大膽地把之前的話再說一遍，」海格勒繼續說道。「所有人都開始吟詠『耶穌，耶穌，耶穌，』然後他迅速環顧室內，就儘快火速跑出門了。」
