1. 1n/mɑːsk/ · /mɒsk/清真寺

    A building where Muslims go to pray and worship together.

    「mosque」是穆斯林禮拜、祈禱的建築,中文叫「清真寺」。它跟 church(教堂,基督徒去的)、temple(廟,佛教或道教的)是同一類的詞——都是「大家一起禮拜的地方」,差別在於是哪一群人去。這個字來自阿拉伯文 masjid,可以想成「低下頭禮拜的地方」,所以整棟建築的重點不是外觀,而是裡面的人在做什麼。

Wiktionary

A single, concrete picture: the building Muslims go into to pray, and to pray together. One meaning only — it names a place of worship, the way 'church' or 'temple' does, and does not stretch into anything figurative.

可以想成一個很具體的畫面:穆斯林進去禮拜、而且是一起禮拜的那棟建築物。這個字只有這一個意思,和 church、temple 一樣就是指一種宗教場所,不會延伸出比喻用法——The city's oldest mosque stands near the river.
