temple (n.) 寺廟
temple 在此泛指「寺廟」，除此之外也可以用來指「太陽穴」。對佛教徒來說，通常供奉神民的地方稱做「寺廟」(temple)，而對於道教徒來說則叫「宮」(shrine)。
My grandmother went to the local temple every week.
我阿嬤每個禮拜都會去廟裡。
I always put some peppermint oil on my temples when I feel sleepy.
我想睡的時候總會在太陽穴擦一點薄荷油。
incense stick (n.) 香柱
incense 的意思是「香」，是一種泛指的說法，指的可能是粉狀的或是棒狀的香。講仔細一點，台灣廟宇常見的那種一根根的香柱是 incense stick ，stick 意指「枝條」。補充插香的「香爐」則為 incense burner。
More and more temples have stopped using incense in order to protect the environment.
越來越多寺廟為著環保不再燒香。
worshipper (n.) 信徒
worship 為動詞，意思是「信仰；敬拜」，worshipper 則是指「信仰者；信徒」，並不局限於特定宗教的信徒。
The worshippers gather at the church every Sunday.
信徒每週日在教會聚集。
joss paper (n.) 紙錢
joss 的意思是「神像；佛像；偶像」，因此 joss paper 是指「紙錢」。補充：「香柱」除了前面提的 incense stick，亦可用 joss stick 指稱。
Once, I saw someone stick joss paper on the wall as a decoration.
我曾經看過有人在牆上貼紙錢當裝飾。(真人真事，小 V 在歐洲見到的… )
Henry 又注意到了另一件事 …
Henry: Hey Bob, I see many people drawing wooden sticks over there. What are they doing?
Henry：誒 Bob，我看那裡有很多人在抽木棒，他們在做什麼？Bob: They're drawing fortune sticks. Do you want to try it?
Bob：他們在抽神籤。你想試試嗎？Henry: Sure!
Henry：好啊！Bob: Okay then, hold these first.
Bob：沒問題，那你先拿好這些。Henry: What are these two blocks of wood for?
Henry：這兩塊木頭是幹嘛的？Bob: They're called divination blocks. First, you have to introduce yourself, then you ask god a question and throw the divination blocks. They’ll tell you if god allows you to draw a fortune stick or not.
Bob：它們叫做筊杯。首先你必須自我介紹，然後問神明一個問題，再把筊杯擲出去。它們會告訴你神明是否願意讓你抽靈籤。Henry: Cool! (introducing himself) I want to know if I will get a girlfriend this year. (throwing out the divination blocks)
Henry：酷！(自我介紹) 我想知道我今年會不會有女朋友。(丟出筊杯)Bob: Lucky you! You've got a Shing-bwei, which means god has allowed you to draw a fortune stick. After you draw your stick, you’ll get a slip of paper. The poem printed on it will answer your question.
Bob：你真幸運！你得到了一個聖杯，意思是神明允許你抽靈籤。你抽好籤之後會得到一張紙。紙上印的詩會回答你的問題。
