This was of course a wild underestimate, but a radical notion nonetheless, and Buffon found himself threatened with excommunication for expressing it.

这当然是大大地；但是，这是一种很激进的见解。布丰发现，要是把这见解加以发表，他有被除教籍的危险。

The Pope precipitately thundered out excommunications against him, which so provoked King Henry, that he declared himself head of the Church, and drew after him all England into the unhappy change in which you see it.

教皇突然宣布对他除教籍，这激怒亨利国王，他宣布自己为教会领袖，并使整个英格兰都陷入你所看到的幸变化。

Therefore the reader must not suppose that Joan really put Robert de Baudricourt in her pocket in fifteen minutes, nor that her excommunication, recantation, relapse, and death at the stake were a matter of half an hour or so.

因此，读者要以为琼真的在十五分钟内将罗伯特·德·博德里古尔塞进她的口袋，也要以为她被除教籍、改过自新、旧病复发和死在火刑柱上只是半个小时左右的事情。
