小知识
If you sing in the choir at your church, you might wear a surplice — a loose, wide-sleeved robe.
It says a lot about you if you've ever donned one of these in earnest — namely, that you are or have been a chorister or a member of the clergy. It's a coverall garment that gives a certain ceremonial look in various Christian services. The Latin root, curiously, means “over fur garment;” The 1911 Encyclop?dia Britannica helpfully informs us that “it was formerly put on over the fur garments which used to be worn in church as a protection against the cold.”
