喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Describing peaceful, simple country life, especially in an idealized, pretty way — like a 'pastoral scene' of sheep in green fields, often used in art, poetry, or music to suggest calm and simplicity (sometimes more of an idea than real farm life). Separately, 'pastoral' also describes the caring, guiding side of a teacher's, priest's, or school's job — 'pastoral care' means looking after students' or people's emotional and personal wellbeing, not just their studies or religious teaching.

    田園風光的、田園詩般的（理想化的鄉村意象）；輔導、關懷性質的（pastoral care 生活輔導）
