玛丽：我就像是个傻瓜!

　　Alexei: Why? What happened?

　　阿列克谢 :为什么这么说?怎么了?

　　Mary: I just called the bishop over there “pope.”

　　玛丽：刚刚 就在那儿，我叫那个主教叫成了教皇。

　　Alexei: That’s not so bad. You gave him a promotion. At least you didn’t call him “rabbi.”

　　阿列克谢： 没事。你给他升职了呢。至少你没叫他“拉比”。

　　Mary: Don’t laugh! When I agreed to work at this interfaith conference, I didn’t know I’d need a crash course in identifying religious leaders from their dress.

　　玛丽：别笑!我答应去参加多宗教会议的时候，都没想到得要恶补一下怎么通过辨识服装区分宗教领袖。

　　Alexei: It can’t be that hard. That man over there is clearly a cardinal and the woman next to him is probably a minister by the look of her clerical collar.

　　.阿列克谢 ：没那么难!那边儿那个男人明显就是红衣主教，他旁边的那个女人可能是牧师，你看她的硬白领就知道了。

　　Mary: What about the man in robes over there?

　　玛丽：那边穿长袍的那个呢?

　　Alexei: He’s probably a lama or a guru. He’s definitely not an imam, but I’m not entirely sure how I would address him.

　　阿列克谢 ：可能是个喇嘛，也可能是个古鲁，但绝对不是伊玛目。我不完全确定该怎么叫他。

　　Mary: See what I mean? I keep saying the wrong thing.

　　玛丽：明白我什么意思了吧!我总说错。

　　Alexei: These religious leaders don’t expect laypeople like you and me to know as much as they do about religious dress.

　　阿列克谢 ：这些宗教领袖没期望你我这样的外行像他们一样了解宗教服饰。

　　Mary: That’s what you think! I called that man over there “preacher” and he gave me a dirty look.

　　玛丽：你是 这么想的!我叫那边那个人 “牧师”，他给了我一个白眼。

　　Alexei: No wonder. He’s the caterer.

　　阿列克谢 ：难怪。他是酒席承办人。
