對男孩的親切稱呼
把「兒子」這份長輩疼小輩的感覺，借去稱呼不是自己親生的男孩。雖然沒有血緣，但說話者擺出長者對晚輩那種帶著關心、甚至一點居高臨下的口氣，就像在對自己孩子說話。

聖子（基督教）
把「父子」這層關係抬到神學的高度：在基督教裡，耶穌被稱為「神的兒子」(the Son)，與聖父、聖靈並列。還是同一個「兒子」的概念，只是這對父子是神與基督。
the Son (Jesus Christ) · noun · A2
In the Christian religion, a name for Jesus Christ, used as 'the Son'.
聖子

A man, especially a well-known one, who comes from a particular place or country.
