When I agreed to work at this interfaith conference, I didn't know I'd need a crash course in identifying religious leaders from their dress.

That man over there is clearly a cardinal and the woman next to him is probably a minister by the look of her clerical collar.
那邊那個人顯然是紅衣主教，而他旁邊的女人從那牧師的衣領猜測她可能是牧師。
