for an excuse to fire on the townspeople

给向殖民地居民开枪一事找借口
and then really get that nasty Grey-- plotting maybe.

而格雷的事情使得阴谋味很浓
And the British too, as you've heard,

英方同样也在怀疑
are wondering if maybe this is a plot on the part of the colonists.

这是不是殖民地人的阴谋
Maybe they're actually just trying to rob the customs house

也许他们企图抢劫海关大楼
and this whole thing was an elaborate ploy by the colonists

这一事件正是他们精心策划的阴谋
just to rob the customs house behind the guard.

目的是为了抢劫警卫身后的海关大楼
So you can really see from these two accounts,

所以我们可以从这两则叙述中
and from the details contained within them,

从每一个细节中看出
the animosity and the sense of alienation

殖民地居民和英军士兵之间的
between the colonists and the soldiers on both sides,

相互憎恨和疏离感
and you can also see really dramatically the fears

也可以看出双方都心怀深深的担忧
