G: Gordon C: Cynthia
Before they visit Longshan Temple, Cynthia explains to Gordon how to pray at a temple.
G: Thanks for offering to take me to the temple, but I have no idea how to pray properly.
C: Don’t worry! It’s pretty simple.
G: Well, I don’t want to mess it up. Can you walk me through what I should do?
C: Of course! First, when we enter, we’ll bow three times at the entrance to show respect.
G: Bow three times. Got it. What’s next?
C: Then, we’ll go to the main hall. Just stand in front of the altar, put your hands together, and either close your eyes or look down.
在前往龙山寺之前，辛西亚向戈登解释该如何在庙里拜拜。
戈 登： 谢谢妳主动提议要带我去庙里，但我完全不知道该怎么拜才对。
辛西亚： 别担心！其实很简单的。
戈 登： 嗯，我可不想搞砸了。妳可以一步一步教我该怎么做吗？
辛西亚： 当然！首先，进门时我们要在入口处鞠躬三次，以示尊敬。
戈 登： 鞠躬三次。记住了。然后呢？
辛西亚： 接著我们会走到主殿前。在神桌前站好，双手合十，可以闭上眼睛或低头。
