为什么我的祖叔父放弃当牧师?1.下面这个不幸却又真实的故事是关于我的祖叔父的。他是一位极好的，快乐的，倍受爱戴的人，他身高六英尺四英寸，体重大约有三百磅。他受到过良好的教育，并且在二十世纪初成为了一名全职浸礼会牧师。祖叔父爱尔登.本特雷虽然体形庞大，但却和蔼友善，笨拙似乎就是他的唯一缺点了。一天，他应邀去卡罗莱纳州南部，狄龙镇上的一位女士家里布道。那时他还年轻，正在坐下时，他不小心一屁股压死了女士的齐瓦瓦狗，名叫托吉。当那位女士满屋子找他的狗时，爱尔登祖叔父这才意识到屁股底下有什么不对了，慌忙之下，他顺手把那死狗塞进了大衣口袋里。尽管他万分惊恐，但他还是没有告诉女士到底发生了什么。17

2.五年后的一天，他重返那位女士的家，并在那里过夜。他决定向女士坦白关于托吉的事，以除却自己的心病。那位女士特地将房间准备了一番，并挂上了崭新的窗帘。为了使祖叔父感到舒适方便，他还在床头柜上放了一大罐冰水，一个玻璃杯，还有一支钢笔及一瓶墨水。这样一来，祖叔父可以在休息前准备他的讲道文章。18

3.祖叔父喜欢开着窗睡觉，于是，他夜里起来去开窗。不幸的事情又发生了，在开窗时，他打翻了一杯东西，他以为那是一杯水。接着，他顺着墙，双手摸索着去找灯的开关，很糟糕地，他往返几次都未找着。他继续来回摸索，终于找到窗户后，然后才回床睡觉了。次日早晨，当睁开眼聙一看，他简直惊呆了：新贴的两面墙纸上满是黑色的污渍，而那崭新的窗帘上也全是祖叔父沾有墨水的大手印。原来，头一天晚上他打翻的不是水杯，而是墨水瓶。19

4.祖叔父惊慌失措并清楚的知道他必须面对他的女主人。迅速的穿好衣服，他开始下楼，马上要下到楼梯底了，又滑了一下，他连忙扑捉支撑物——一个离他最近的物品，而那原本是装置在楼梯井墙壁上的一个漂亮黄铜电灯台。伴着“嘶，嘶”的声音及冒着的烟，那台灯硬是被他从墙上拽了下来，而他则倒在了楼梯下的地面上，手里还抓着那个灯台。20

5.“伤着了没有？”女主人呼喊着并朝祖叔父跑了过来。6.“还好”。祖叔父说着爬了起来，“但是我毁了你的家。”说着他急速的走出前门，在门口他站住了，转过来对着女主人崇敬的说：“托吉已过了基督徒式的葬礼了。”7.从那以后，他便不当牧师了，而成为了一名哲学教师，在曼彻斯特的一所私立中学任教了多年。21

minister牧师，基督教工作者。这个词不能用来做称呼，只是描述身份。Heisourminister.不能说MinisterChang,(pleasecomehere)。基督教里有很多的工作，与minister相关的词是ministry事工。ministry

priest牧师，祭司。这个词有几个细微的含义一是，新教中除了几个派别，例如圣公会，一般不用此词作抬头称“牧师”。天主教的神职人员一般叫priest。二是，使用此词时，一般强调神职人员与一般信徒（平信徒）的区别。theHighPriest,大祭司。耶稣在圣经中多次被称为HighPriest。新教中有种信念，就是Allbelieversarethepriesthood.或者Everybelieverisapriest.信徒人人皆祭师。强调每个信徒在神面前都有职责，例如传福音，这不仅是一个祭师的职责，而是每个信徒的职责。非基督徒有时厌恶基督徒的这种行为，将此类信徒称religiousnut

clergy是天主教用得多的词，意思与priest接近。强调一个阶层。25
