| trinity 三一学校 Explanation: 在这句里，Collegiate, Dalton, Trinity应该都是指的是针对K-12岁左右的少年儿童的学校，TRINITY取意与基督教地‘三位一体‘：圣父，圣灵，圣子’， 但在这里，不一定是跟宗教有关，可以参考该链接http://www.trinityschoolnyc.org/c3/faculty/letter.pl ‘Trinity's mission, stated in carefully considered terms, is essentially to provide its students with a setting—intellectual, moral, and physical—in which they can pursue the elements of a liberal education. ’ 所以，它具体是指哪一类学校，要依上下文而定 Reference: http://www.collegiate-va.org/podium/default.aspx?t=21773 Reference: http://www.dalton.org/information/about/ |

peer agreement (net): +6| trinity 圣三一 Explanation: Trinity是学校的名字，可以直接译为‘圣三一’ 比如，Trinity college被译为‘圣三一学院’http://info.qinghuaonline.com/info/info_12_arc55160.htm Trinity Center Kindergarten 被译为‘圣三一中心幼稚园’http://www.google.com/search?q=trinity 圣三一&hl=en&start=0&sa=... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days13 hrs (2008-02-20 16:11:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In the US, sometimes private schools like to differentiate themselves from public schools by using a name with a religious reference. For example, in the city I live in (South Bend, Indiana, USA), the public (high) schools names are all presidents' names: Adams, LaSalle, Washington.. and the private (high) schools names are all reglious in nature: Maria, Saint-Joseph, Trinity.. My little sister is going to a middle school called Saint-Padua. We are not Christians, and you don't have to be a Christian to attend these schools (as a matter of fact, such a requirement would be illegal in the US). The name of the school is religious, but it doesn't imply anything in their education. My sister's going there solely because it's a school with good quality education and smaller classes. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days13 hrs (2008-02-20 16:13:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The full name of my sister's school is Saint-Anthony of Padua:) |
