n.罗马教宗²⁰;主教⁶⁷;祭司长¹³复数pontiffs
Noun:
the head of the Roman Catholic Church在词典中，pontiff既表示“主教”，也可以表示“教宗”、“罗马教皇”。主教 和教皇应该不是同一层次的职务，怎么能用同一个词表示呢？原来，pontiff的本意既不是“主教”，也不是“教皇”，而是指基督教兴起之前古罗马宗教中 的高级祭司，拉丁语为pontifex意为bridge-maker或path-maker，可译为“大祭司”，相当于基督教中的“主教” bishop。高级祭司中的首脑被称为Pontifex Maximus，大祭司长，地位相当于教皇。在基督教成为罗马国教之前，Pontifex Maximus，大祭司长一职通常由罗马皇帝兼任。
英语单词pontiff来自拉丁语pontifex，相当于bishop，但人们很少用它来表示“主教”，直到17世纪才开始使用，但一般都是特指“the bishop of Rome”罗马主教，也就是位于罗马的教皇了。
