n.挂名职务⁷⁵;闲差事²⁵; 领干薪的牧师职位复数sinecures名词sinecurism
工作
Noun:
a benefice to which no spiritual or pastoral duties are attachedan office that involves minimal duties这是个拉丁借用词。在拉丁文中sine意为without没有，cura意为care关心，照管，短语sine cura则是without care不费心的，不操心的的意思。英语把这个短语合为一词sinecure，早先用以指教会中不担任教化工作但却领取干薪的牧师职位，现在则泛指工作清闲而报酬优厚的职位，即“闲职”或“挂名差事”。
英语另有几个单词也源出拉丁语cura．如curator，即a person who takes“care”of a museum or library博物馆或图书馆馆长，curate，即a person who takes“care”of souls助理牧师，cure，即bring health to sb by taking“care”of him治愈。从含义上来看，这三个词和care多少是有联系的。GRE红宝书sine = sin罪孽, e, cure关心－只关心罪孽的职位, 原指: 领干薪的牧师职位, 一个与教士的精神职责无关的职位, 只要不犯错就行－闲职
sin 罪，宗教或道德上的罪孽 + cure 治疗，治疗道德上犯的罪孽的，比如牧师躲在小格间里听人忏悔，提供精神上的指导与建议，算是一个闲职实际该词是与教士精神职责无关的教会职位
