pastor的词源
英文词源
- pastor
- pastor: [14] Latin pāstor meant ‘shepherd’. It came from the same base as produced pāscere ‘feed’, source of English pasture and repast, and hence denoted etymologically ‘one who grazes sheep’. The ‘animal husbandry’ sense is still fairly alive and well in the derivative pastoral [15], but in pastor itself it has largely been ousted by ‘Christian minister’, inspired by the frequent metaphorical use of shepherd for ‘minister, priest’ in the Bible.
=> pasture, repast - pastor (n.)
- late 14c. (mid-13c. as a surname), "shepherd," also "spiritual guide, shepherd of souls," from Old French pastor, pastur "herdsman, shepherd" (12c.), from Latin pastorem (nominative pastor) "shepherd," from pastus, past participle of pascere "to lead to pasture, set to grazing, cause to eat," from PIE root *pa- "to tend, keep, pasture, feed, guard, protect" (see food). The spiritual sense was in Church Latin (e.g. Gregory's "Cura Pastoralis"). The verb in the Christian sense is from 1872.
中文词源
pastor（牧师）：基督教中人类灵魂的牧人
英语中，pastor本意是“牧人，牧羊人”，与pasture（牧场，草场）同源。在基督教中，pastor表示教士，中文译为“牧师”。这是为什么 呢？原来，在基督教经典著作中，常将信徒比喻为羊群，将基督比喻为看管、引导羊群的牧人。如：“他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群，用膀臂聚集羊羔抱在怀中。” （赛40:9-11）“耶和华是我的牧者，我必不至缺乏。”（诗23:1）“我必立一牧人照管他们，牧养他们。”（结34:23）因此，在信徒中传播教义 的教士们也以牧人自居，称为pastor（牧师）。
