1. 1n/ˈdʒiːzəs/Jesus Christ耶穌

    The man whose life and teaching Christianity is built on. He lived about two thousand years ago and taught in Galilee, and Christians believe he was the son of God.

    這是人名,所以永遠大寫。前面通常不加 the。你會看到三種寫法:Jesus、Jesus Christ、Christ。要注意 Christ 不是姓,是頭銜,意思是「受膏者」。所以 Jesus Christ 比較接近「那位受膏的耶穌」。這個名字在英文裡已經一千多年了。因此它出現的地方遠遠不只教會:畫作、歌名、地名、慣用語裡都有。所有格一般寫成 Jesus',也有人寫 Jesus's。另外,同樣的拼法單獨大聲喊出來是驚嘆語。那個用法很多人聽了不舒服,是另一個條目。兩者最好分開記。

    示範例句 · Example

    In history class we read about how Jesus taught in Galilee.

    中文翻譯在歷史課上我們讀到耶穌如何在加利利教導人。

    This is a name, so it always takes a capital letter and normally takes no the. You will meet it in three shapes: Jesus on its own, Jesus Christ, and Christ on its own. Christ is not a family name — it is a title that means the chosen one, so Jesus Christ is closer to Jesus the chosen one than to a first name plus a surname. Because the name has been in English for a thousand years, it turns up far outside church: in paintings, song titles, place names and set phrases. Written possessive is usually Jesus' rather than Jesus's. And the same spelling, said louder and on its own, is an exclamation that many people find rude — that is a different entry, and worth keeping apart from this one.

  2. 2interj/ˈdʒiːzəs/Jesus! (shock, disrespectful)天啊!(不禮貌)

    口語Said out loud on its own when you are shocked, , or . Because it uses a holy name for an ordinary reaction, many people — Christians especially — hear it as disrespectful, so it does not belong in polite or formal situations.

    這是單獨喊出來的驚嘆語。它表示剛剛發生了很突然或很嚴重的事。它同時也透露說話的人沒有在挑字。因為這是把神聖的名字拿來當反應用。所以很多人聽了會不舒服,基督徒尤其如此。Jesus Christ! 是同樣的用法,語氣更重。要多嚴重,完全看在場的人是誰。有些人根本不在意,有些人會受傷。所以事前你其實判斷不了。英文有幾個從同樣聲音變出來的委婉替代說法,jeez 最明顯。gosh、oh my goodness 也能表達同樣的驚訝,而且沒有風險。影集和歌裡很常聽到這個字,那是影集的事,不等於現場可以說。

    This is a word that carries information about the speaker as well as the moment. It tells you something big or sudden just happened. It also tells you the speaker is not being careful, because it is the kind of thing that comes out before you choose it. Jesus Christ! is the same move, only stronger. How strong the reaction is depends entirely on who is listening: some people do not notice it at all, and some are genuinely hurt by it, so the safe read is that you cannot tell in advance. English keeps a set of softer stand-ins built from the same sounds — jeez is the clearest one — and gosh or oh my goodness carry the same surprise with none of the risk. You will meet Jesus constantly in films and songs; that is a fact about films, not permission from the room you are standing in.
