📖 逐句对照翻译
Pope Francis has named the first woman to lead a major office of the Roman Catholic Church.
教皇方济各任命了首位领导罗马天主教会重要部门的女性。
On Monday, he chose an Italian nun, Sister Simona Brambilla, to head the department responsible for all the church’s religious orders.
周一，他选择了一位意大利修女西蒙娜·布拉姆比拉修女来领导负责教会所有宗教秩序的部门。
The appointment is the latest effort by Francis to give women more leadership positions in governing the church.
这项任命是方济各为让女性在教会管理中担任更多领导职务而做出的最新努力。
In the past, women have been named to secondary leadership positions in some church offices.
过去，在一些教会职位中，女性曾被任命为次级领导职务。
But the pope’s latest appointment is the first time a woman has been named head of a department of the central governing body of the Roman Catholic Church.
但教皇的最新任命是首次有女性被任命为罗马天主教会中央管理机构一个部门的负责人。
Official media for the church reported "Sister Simona Brambilla is the first woman prefect in the Vatican."
教会的官方媒体报导称“西蒙娜·布兰比拉修女是梵蒂冈首位女性部长。”
A prefect is a chief government officer in the church.
长官是教会中的首席政府官员。
Since the Vatican – the place in Rome where the church is headquartered – is officially considered a country, prefect leaders serve like officials in other governments.
由于梵蒂冈——位于罗马的教会总部所在地——被正式视为一个国家，因此其行政长官如同其他政府官员一样履职。
The position held by the 59-year-old Brambilla is one of the most important in the church.
59岁的布兰比拉所担任的职位是教会中最重要的职位之一。
It is officially known as the Dicastery for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.
它的正式名称是献身生活会及使徒生活团部。
This means Brambilla is now responsible for every Catholic religious order churchwide.
这意味着布兰比拉现在负责全球范围内的所有天主教修会。
Pope Francis also named a male church official, Ángel Fernández Artime, as a co-leader to Brambilla.
教皇方济各还任命了一位男性教会官员安赫尔·费尔南德斯·阿蒂梅与布兰比拉共同领导。
The reason for having a co-leader is that only men can lead religious services, known as masses, in the Roman Catholic Church.
有一位共同领导者的原因是，在罗马天主教中，只有男性才能主持宗教仪式，即所谓的弥撒。
Brambilla has been a member of the Consolata Missionaries religious order.
Brambilla一直是康索拉塔传教士修会的一员。
Since last year, she had served as secondary leader in the religious orders department.
自去年起，她担任宗教秩序部门的副职领导。
She will be replacing the current prefect, retiring Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz, who is 77 years old.
她将接替现任部长、77岁的若昂·布拉兹·德阿维斯枢机主教，后者即将退休。
Brambilla is a nurse who worked as a missionary in Mozambique and led a religious order from 2011-2023.
布拉姆比拉是一名护士，曾在莫桑比克担任传教士，并于2011年至2023年间领导一个宗教修会。
In 2023, Francis appointed her to be secretary of the religious orders department.
2023年，方济各任命她为宗教秩序部门的秘书。
Francis made Brambilla's appointment possible with reforms made in 2022 to the church’s founding constitution.
方济各通过2022年对教会创始宪章的改革，使布兰比拉的任命成为可能。
The changes permit individuals who are not authorized to lead church services, including women, to head a dicastery and become prefects.
这些变化允许未被授权主持教会礼拜的人，包括女性，领导一个部门并成为部长。
While the constitutional changes give women more possibilities to serve, they are still not permitted to officially lead church services.
尽管宪法改革为女性提供了更多服务的机会，但她们仍不被允许正式主持教会仪式。
Catholic women already do much of the church's work in schools and hospitals and teach many young members.
天主教女性已经承担了教会在学校和医院的大量工作，并教导许多年轻信徒。
But Francis has continued a longtime ban on women being local church leaders, called priests.
但方济各延续了长期以来禁止女性担任地方教会领袖即神父的禁令。
He also does not support women becoming deacons, a position just below a priest.
他也不支持女性担任执事，这一职位仅低于神父一级。
However, under Pope Francis’ leadership, there has been a marked increase in the number of women working in church positions since he was elected in 2013.
然而，自2013年教皇方济各当选以来，在他的领导下，在教会职位上工作的女性人数显著增加。
The Vatican News reports the percentage of women in leadership positions rose from 19.3 percent in 2013 to 23.4 percent today.
梵蒂冈新闻报道称，女性在领导职位中的比例从2013年的19.3%上升至如今的23.4%。
Among the women holding high leadership positions are Sister Raffaella Petrini, the first-ever female secretary general of the Vatican City State.
在担任高级领导职务的女性中，有拉法埃拉·佩特里尼修女，她是梵蒂冈城国历史上首位女性秘书长。
She is responsible for the territory's health care system, police force and Vatican Museums.
她负责该地区的医疗保健系统、警察部队和梵蒂冈博物馆。
Another nun, Sister Alessandra Smerilli, is the second-in-command in the church’s development office.
另一位修女，亚历山德拉·斯梅里利修女，是教会发展办公室的第二把手。
Several other women have been appointed to under-secretary positions.
还有几位女性被任命为副部长。
