A member of a strict Catholic order of monks — properly the Cistercians of the Strict Observance — who live together in a monastery, work with their hands, pray many times a day starting long before dawn, and keep silence.

A member一個成員 of a strict Catholic order屬於一個嚴格的天主教修會 of monks修士的——properly正式來說 the Cistercians of the Strict Observance叫做「嚴規熙篤會」——who他們 live together住在一起 in a monastery在修道院裡，work with their hands用雙手勞動，pray many times a day一天禱告好幾次 starting long before dawn從天還沒亮就開始，and而且 keep silence保持靜默。

The silence is what everyone knows about them, and it is worth being accurate: they are not under a vow never to speak. They speak when it is necessary, and to their superiors, and there are set times; what they avoid is casual chatter, and traditionally they used a sign language among themselves. So "they do not speak" is the popular picture rather than the exact rule.

The silence這個靜默 is what everyone knows about them是大家對他們最熟悉的印象，and而 it is worth being accurate值得講清楚：they are not under a vow他們並沒有發誓 never to speak永遠不說話。They他們 speak會說話 when it is necessary在必要的時候，and而且 to their superiors對上級說，and而 there are set times也有固定的時間；what they avoid他們避免的是 is casual chatter閒聊，and而 traditionally傳統上 they used他們會用 a sign language一種手語 among themselves彼此之間。So所以 "they do not speak"「他們不說話」 is是 the popular picture一般人的印象 rather than而不是 the exact rule確切的規定。

There are Trappist nuns too, often called Trappistines. As an adjective the word describes anything of that order — a Trappist monastery, Trappist silence.

There are也有 Trappist nuns特拉普派的修女，often被稱為 called Trappistines「特拉普修女」。As an adjective當形容詞用時，the word這個字 describes anything of that order可以形容那個修會的任何東西——a Trappist monastery特拉普修道院、Trappist silence特拉普式的靜默。

And there is one use nearly everyone meets first: Trappist beer. A handful of these monasteries brew beer to support themselves, and "Trappist" on a bottle is a protected label meaning it was genuinely brewed inside the walls under the monks' control. Chimay, Westmalle, Orval and the famous Westvleteren are the ones you will see.
