| 释义 | benefice noun[ C ] uk /ˈben.ɪ.fɪs/ us /ˈben.ə.fɪs/ a permanent job as a leader in the Catholic Church or Church of England, for example as a priest, which provides someone with property and an income, or the land that forms this property: In Henry VIII's reign, the great Dutch scholar Erasmus was given the benefice of Aldington in Kent. This vast area of land is subdivided into 194 benefices comprising 450 parishes. He had been given this benefice as a reward for long and faithful service to the Crown. There is no longer a resident priest, the vicarage has been sold and the parish is now one third of a united benefice. The two benefices together did not make him rich, but they ended his years of poverty. In March 1403 his numerous benefices were reckoned to be worth over £800 a year.
