1. 1

    A manse is the house a Christian minister lives in, especially in Scotland and in Presbyterian churches. It is a working home tied to the church, often the old stone house next to the kirk, not a palace. You will meet it in Scottish stories, church history, and place-names; it is not the usual word in England, where people more often say or rectory for a similar idea. Though actually, it is a cousin of manor and mansion — all of them go back to a Latin word for staying and dwelling — but in real speech a manse is much smaller and plainer than a mansion. Do not picture a huge estate.

    牧師宅、牧師館(尤指蘇格蘭)
