NEW YORK – In his play Murder in the Cathedral, T. S. Eliot describes the murder of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, as a silently ordered hit. The English king, Henry II, did not need to give a direct order; his knights knew what to do with somebody seen to be undermining the state.
纽约—在《大教堂谋杀案》（Murder in the Cathedral）一剧中，艾略特（T. S. Eliot）描写了坎特伯雷大主教托马斯·贝克特（Thomas Becket）被沉默命令谋杀的案子。英格兰国王亨利二世不需要下达直接命令，他的骑士们知道如何对付那些看上去对国家有威胁的人。
