narthex

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

前廊:教处,与教整个宽度一样长的狭窄走廊,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的半圆形后殿的拱状避难所，在西部末端的教前厅或门廊，较远一点的就是直达前院的教前厅，或者中庭。
