    Calvary is the name of the place just outside Jerusalem where, in the Bible, Jesus was nailed to a cross and died. The Romans used a Latin name that meant skull; the older name for the same spot was , which carries the same skull idea. English speakers usually mean that one holy hill, not any hill.

    Calvary is the name of the place just outside JerusalemCalvary是耶路撒冷城外那個地方的名字 where, in the Bible, Jesus was nailed to a cross and died在聖經裡,耶穌就是在那裡被釘上十字架、死去的。The Romans used a Latin name that meant skull羅馬人用的拉丁文名字意思是「骷髏」 the older Aramaic name for the same spot was Golgotha同一個地方比較早的亞蘭文名字是Golgotha(各各他) which carries the same skull idea一樣帶著骷髏的意思。English speakers usually mean that one holy hill英語使用者講這個字通常就是指那座聖山 not any hill不是隨便一座山。

    Though actually, most people who say Calvary today are not talking about geography at all: churches, hymns, and street names borrow it as a Christian place-name, so you will see Calvary Chapel far from Jerusalem. It is a proper name and keeps a capital C. It is a church-and-Bible word, not a word for the shops.

    Though actually, most people who say Calvary today are not talking about geography at all不過其實現在大部分講Calvary的人根本不是在講地理位置: churches, hymns, and street names borrow it as a Christian place-name教會、詩歌、街名都會借用它當作基督教的地名 so you will see Calvary Chapel far from Jerusalem所以你會在離耶路撒冷很遠的地方看到Calvary Chapel。It is a proper name and keeps a capital C這是一個專有名詞,C要大寫。It is a church-and-Bible word這是教會和聖經裡用的字 not a word for the shops不是逛街會用到的字。
