A married vicar is likely to regard his vocation as a job - a tough and ill-paid one, to be sure - but a priest is seen as a pillar of the community, answerable only to his parishioners and his God, rather than to a wife and children.

  • -- Simon Hoggart 霍加特

一个已婚的牧师很可能把他的职业看作是一份工作——当然,这份工作既艰苦又报酬微薄——但牧师被视为社区的支柱,只对他的教区居民和他的上帝负责,而不是对妻子和孩子负责。
