美語情景對話 第425期:Church Decor 教堂裝飾

I go to church and I'm going to tell you what it looks like inside my church. Firstly, when you go in, there's normally someone at the door who greets you and they give you a hymn book. Hymns are songs and we have a book full of songs, then in the main part of the church, we sit on pews. Pews are like long wooded seats and the pews in my church are quite big. You can fit about ten, or fifteen people, on one pew. The minister, he's the man who leads the service, is at the front of the church. He stands behind the pulpit, which is a wooden box, and he puts the bible on that box.

我去了教堂，我要跟大家講講我去的教堂什麼樣。首先，你進入教堂的時候，通常會有人在門口歡迎你，他們會給你一份讚美詩集。讚美詩是歌曲，我們有一本寫滿歌曲的書，我們在教堂裏的大部分時間都坐在教堂裏的長椅上。那是種長長的木頭椅子，我去的那家教堂的長椅非常大。一個長椅可以坐10個或是15個人。主持儀式的牧師會站在教堂的前部。他站在教堂講壇的後面，講壇是一個木製的臺子，牧師會把聖經放在那個臺子上面。

There are lots of stained glass windows in my church. They are windows with colored glass in them, and they often have pictures in them, normally pictures of stories in the bible. We also have an organ in church, and somebody plays the organ every week. The organ pipes are at the front and it's very loud. However, we also have a piano, and a small group of people who do singing on other days. I really like my church. I like the atmosphere there and I really think it's a friendly place.

我去的教堂有許多彩色玻璃窗。就是那種有顏色的玻璃窗，通常上面會有圖畫，一般來說圖面是聖經裏的故事。教堂裏還有一個風琴，有人會每週演奏那個風琴。風琴管放在前面，可是聲音很大。我們也有鋼琴，一小羣人會在其他日子裏唱歌。我真的很喜歡我去的教堂。我喜歡那裏的氣氛，而且我認爲那裏是一個友好的地方。
