A preacher asked his wife, "How can I make my congregation pay attention to me during my sermon?"

She answered, "Put the clock right behind you on the wall."

Notes:

1. A preacher asked his wife, "How can I make my congregation pay attention to me during my sermon?"

一個(gè)傳教士問他的妻子：“我該怎么做才能讓會(huì)眾們注憊聽我講道?”

"pay attention to"可以表示“留意”、“傾聽某人的話”如：You should pay attention to driving 你開車時(shí)應(yīng)該留意， You should pay attention to the teacher.你應(yīng)該注意聽老師說的話。

church除了指教堂，還表示“禮拜儀式”所以"go to church"是“做禮拜”的意思;“正在做禮拜”是“be at church” 或“be in church”。

preacher [?pri:t??(r)] n.傳道者

congregation [?k??gr??ge??n] n.參加做禮拜的會(huì)眾

pay attention to 留意…，傾聽某人的話
