Indict and arraign are legal terms. Indict, which is more commonly used in the United States than elsewhere, means to charge officially and to make subject to an appearance before a jury or judge. In an extended sense, indict is to charge unofficially but publicly. To arraign, legally, is to call an indicted person before a court for trial; by extension, to arraign is to call publicly but unofficially a person or a movement to stand judgement before public opinion or some other standard.
（indict 和arraign都属于法律术语。indict用于美国，多用于对罪行较为严重的罪犯的正式指控，arraign的意思和indict有点不一样，主要是指传讯。）
收获：看到indict这个词时，觉得发音应该是/ɪnˈdɪt/，没想到-dict在这里是发/daɪt/，第一次见到dict发/daɪt/；积累了indict和arraign两个新单词。
