narthex

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

前廊:教入口处,与教整个宽度一样长狭窄走廊,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.

在中央广场东部半圆形后殿拱状避难所，在西部教前厅或门廊，较远一点就是直达前院教前厅，或者中庭。
