名詞 clergy 的用法

clergy的意思是“神職人員”“牧師”，雖為單數形式，但表示復數意義；若用作主語，謂語要用復數。如：

All the local clergy attended the ceremony. 當地所有的牧師都出席了儀式。

The clergy were to receive salaries from the state. 教士們將從國家領取薪俸。

若語義需要也可用數詞修飾。如：

Thirty clergy were present. 有30位牧師在場。

Over 50 clergy marched to Government House to register their protest. 50多名牧師游行到政府辦公大樓前提出抗議。
