However, holy is used especially in connection with the world religions that recognize only one God, that is Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Sacred is used more in connection with religions that worship, or at least recognize the existence of, more than one God, including Hinduism and ancient pagan religions. (There are exceptions for particular collocations: music and art are always sacred, notholy.)这两个词含义差别很小。不过,holy尤用于信奉单一的神的世界性宗教,即基督教、犹太教和伊斯兰教。sacred多用于崇拜或至少承认存在一个以上的神的宗教,包括印度教和古代异教。(注意某些词有特定的搭配:music和art总是与sacred搭配,不与holy搭配。)■theologicalˌθiːəˈlɒdʒɪkl; NAmEˌθiːəˈˈlɑːdʒɪklconnected with the study of religion and beliefs神学的;宗教学的◆ (BrE) a theological college神学院◆ (NAmE) a theological seminary神学院
