minister, priest, vicar
这三个词都可表示“牧师”。它们的区别在于:基督教的牧师用minister; 而罗马天主教的牧师用priest; 英国国教的牧师用vicar。例如:
The minister begged the worshippers to strive against evil.牧师要求信徒们与邪恶斗争。
The priest wore a coarse woollen garment next to his skin.牧师最里面穿了一件粗糙的毛衣。
Marriage by a vicar is lawful in England without another ceremony.在英国,由牧师证婚的婚姻即使没有别的仪式也是合法的。
For 44 years he had ministered to the poor, the sick, the neglected and the deprived.
44年来，他一直致力于帮助那些穷人、病人、无人照料的人和失去生活依靠的人。
——柯林斯例句
Tonight was the last time she would ever be ministered to as a child.
今天晚上是她平生愿意像个孩子般叫人伺候的最后一次.
飘（部分）
I ministered to him in his last hours.
