会众

He got a loud chorus of amens.

在传统的白人教堂里，说话像这样坦率简直是不可想象的，但是这却得到了他的会众的欣赏，回答他的是响亮整齐的&阿门&。

A couple of dozen teenagers in uniform red T-shirts from one church group, Roman Catholic monks observing with detachment from the upper balconies, and a preponderance of heavy-set young men in clerical garb at the forefront of the main Greek and Armenian delegations 5 lent an air of sporting competition.

大约20个穿著某教会团体红色T恤的青少年、从建筑物高处阳台以抽离姿态观看的罗马天主教教士、还有前排希腊和亚美尼亚教会会众中，穿著教士服且脸上带著优越神情的年轻人，都为各宗派的竞演活动增添热闹气氛。

And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.

9：27 当日约书亚使他们在耶和华所要选择的地方，为会众和耶和华的坛作劈柴挑水的人，直到今日。

At the same time he made them, as they still are, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the community and for the altar of the LORD, in the place of the LORD'S choice.

当天就派定他们在上主选定的地方，为会众，为上主的祭坛，劈柴挑水，直到今日。

And all the multitude offered victims, and praises, and holocausts with a devout mind.

会众便将感恩祭祭物，以及甘心献的全燔祭献上。

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

14：27 这恶会众向我发怨言，我忍耐他们要到几时呢，以色列人向我所发的怨言，我都听见了。

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur agait me.

14：27 这恶会众向我发怨言，我忍耐他们要到几时呢，以色列人向我所发的怨言，我都听见了。

When messages delivered from the pulpit are non-biblical in structure and content; or are, at best, simply associations of thought or elaborations of selected passages; dare we claim that since the congregation ended up edified or encouraged, therefore what we preached was the pure unadulterated Christian message?

当讲台的信息，从内容到结构都不是来自圣经，或者充其量是对某处经文的联想和随意发挥，我们是否极泰来仍可以声称会众得到造就或者激励，来证明所传讲的是纯正的基督教信仰？

For hours, competing chants, singing and processions marked out areas of the church dominated by the Greek Orthodox and the Armenians, congregations which, with Roman Catholics, have the main rights to the Holy Sepulchre through an arrangement drafted under 19th century Ottoman Turkish rulers anxious for calm.

为时数小时的竞相吟唱圣歌和游行，画出了希腊东正教和亚美尼亚人所属的教会范围；而罗马天主教的会众拥有使用圣墓教堂的主要权利，这源自19世纪鄂图曼土耳其统治者为寻求此地安宁所拟的条约。

They went down alive to the nether world with all belonging to them; the earth closed over them, and they perished from the community.

他们和他们的一切，都活活的下了阴府；地在他们上面闭上口，他们遂由会众中消灭了。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
