thurible(名词):(宗教仪式中)香炉;常指在天主教、东正教等礼仪里,用链子悬挂、可摇动以散发香烟的香炉。(也可泛指装香、焚香的器具;更常见同义词是 censer。)
/ˈθjʊrɪbəl/
The priest lifted the thurible and swung it gently.
神父举起香炉,轻轻摇动。
As the choir sang, the server carried the thurible down the aisle, and incense drifted through the cathedral.
当唱诗班歌唱时,辅祭员提着香炉沿着中殿走过,香烟在大教堂里缓缓飘散。
来自拉丁语 thūribulum,意为“焚香用的器具”,与 thūs(乳香/香)同源;后来经由中世纪教会拉丁语进入英语,专用于礼仪语境中“摆动的香炉”。
