地道美語聽力播客896：不同的宗教領(lǐng)袖

　　瑪麗：我就像是個傻瓜!

　　Alexei: Why? What happened?

　　阿列克謝 :為什么這么說?怎么了?

　　Mary: I just called the bishop over there “pope.”

　　瑪麗：剛剛 就在那兒，我叫那個主教叫成了教皇。

　　Alexei: That’s not so bad. You gave him a promotion. At least you didn’t call him “rabbi.”

　　阿列克謝： 沒事。你給他升職了呢。至少你沒叫他“拉比”。

　　Mary: Don’t laugh! When I agreed to work at this interfaith conference, I didn’t know I’d need a crash course in identifying religious leaders from their dress.

　　瑪麗：別笑!我答應(yīng)去參加多宗教會議的時候，都沒想到得要惡補一下怎么通過辨識服裝區(qū)分宗教領(lǐng)袖。

　　Alexei: It can’t be that hard. That man over there is clearly a cardinal and the woman next to him is probably a minister by the look of her clerical collar.

　　.阿列克謝 ：沒那么難!那邊兒那個男人明顯就是紅衣主教，他旁邊的那個女人可能是牧師，你看她的硬白領(lǐng)就知道了。

　　Mary: What about the man in robes over there?

　　瑪麗：那邊穿長袍的那個呢?

　　Alexei: He’s probably a lama or a guru. He’s definitely not an imam, but I’m not entirely sure how I would address him.

　　阿列克謝 ：可能是個喇嘛，也可能是個古魯，但絕對不是伊瑪目。我不完全確定該怎么叫他。

　　Mary: See what I mean? I keep saying the wrong thing.

　　瑪麗：明白我什么意思了吧!我總說錯。

　　Alexei: These religious leaders don’t expect laypeople like you and me to know as much as they do about religious dress.

　　阿列克謝 ：這些宗教領(lǐng)袖沒期望你我這樣的外行像他們一樣了解宗教服飾。

　　Mary: That’s what you think! I called that man over there “preacher” and he gave me a dirty look.

　　瑪麗：你是 這么想的!我叫那邊那個人 “牧師”，他給了我一個白眼。

　　Alexei: No wonder. He’s the caterer.

　　阿列克謝 ：難怪。他是酒席承辦人。
