英语词汇“saint”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

A saint is a person who is very holy — or just very good. If you gave all your money away to charity, some people might consider you a saint.

Saint can refer to a person who is officially recognized as holy within a particular faith or religion. However, any person who is considered deeply religious or especially generous could be called a saint. You might say that someone is a saint if they go to religious services every day, or if they spend a lot of time volunteering at a school or at a hospital.
