narthex

"Narthex: Long, narrow porch, usually colonnaded or arcaded, crossing the entire width of a church at its entrance."

前廊:教堂入口处,与教堂整个宽度样长狭窄走廊,通常有廊柱或拱顶。

At the east end of the nave is the vaulted sanctuary apse and at the west end a great narthex or vestibule, beyond which an exonarthex opens to the forecourt, or atrium.

在中央广场东部末端半圆形后殿拱状避难所，在西部末端教堂前厅或门廊，较远就是直达前院教堂前厅，或者中庭。
