Iran, which once held so much sway, is not talked of as a model: theocracy does not appeal to the youngsters on the Arab street.(伊朗，曾經像個墻頭草一樣，搖擺不定，不能稱之為典范。神權對阿拉伯街頭的年輕人來說，沒有什么吸引力。)

Remember, though, his purpose in throwing off Roman authority was not to usher in freedom, but to pave the way for an even more ruthless theocracy of his own.(不過請記住，他拋棄羅馬教會的目的不是為了擁抱自由，而是為自己實行更加殘酷的神權統治鋪設道路。)

Many of the monasteries are closed, and much of the theocracy seems to have passed into history.(許多寺廟已經關閉，以及大部分的神權似乎已成為歷史。)

Even now quasi - theocracy dies hard.(今天，即使是“準神權”也難以輕易消逝。)

I had hardly been outside my hotel, and already I realized that visiting a theocracy would be a memorable experience.(我幾乎沒有走出酒店就已經意識到訪問一個神權統治的國家一定會是一種難忘的經歷。)

The theocracy equated rebellious thought and action with Satanic influence.(神權把任何反抗的思想和行為歸為魔鬼的影響。)

As private ownership appeared in Xia Dynasty and Shang Dynasty, theocracy became more and more prominent.(隨著私有制的出現，夏、商時期，神權思想越來越嚴重。)
