À l'origine, un outlaw est littéralement « hors de la loi » : il n'est plus protégé par elle. Pourtant, le peuple a souvent fait de certains bandits des héros : Robin des Bois en Angleterre, Rob Roy en Écosse, Jesse James aux États-Unis. Ils incarnent la révolte contre l'injustice. Pour imaginer : If I were + ..., I would + verbe (avec were pour toutes les personnes).

Mise en situation : le débat

Teacher : Robin Hood breaks the law. So why is he a hero?
Robin des Bois enfreint la loi. Alors pourquoi est-ce un héros ?
Lucas : Because the law is unfair! The Sheriff is the real criminal. Robin fights injustice.
Parce que la loi est injuste ! Le shérif est le vrai criminel. Robin combat l'injustice.
Chloe : I disagree. Stealing is stealing. If everyone broke the law when they didn't like it, there'd be chaos.
Je ne suis pas d'accord. Voler, c'est voler. Si tout le monde enfreignait la loi quand elle ne lui plaît pas, ce serait le chaos.
Teacher : Is it ever right to break the law?
Est-il parfois juste d'enfreindre la loi ?
Lucas : If I were a poor farmer in Sherwood, I would probably see Robin as a hero.
Si j'étais un paysan pauvre à Sherwood, je verrais sans doute Robin comme un héros.
Chloe : Maybe. But today, I would rather change unfair laws by voting and protesting.
Peut-être. Mais aujourd'hui, je préférerais changer les lois injustes en votant et en manifestant.
