古罗马人在占卜时,会用手或魔杖在空中划出一块区域,然后观察这片天空中所发生的事,如飞鸟从何方飞入。还有可能在地面上划出一块区域,然后在这个区域内进行占卜。英语单词temple(寺庙)和contemplate(沉思)都跟这种占卜做法有关。=单词temple来自拉丁文templum,本意是“划出来用来占卜的区域”,其中的tem就是“划分”的意思。而单词contemplate由拉丁文com和templum构成,其中的com表示加强语气,contemplate的本意是“划出一片区域,然后仔细观察”。所以contemplate既含有“注视”的意思,又含有“沉思”的意思,因为占卜时需要在仔细观察的同时思考所见迹象所表示的吉凶意味。=temple['temp(?)l]n庙宇,寺院,神殿,太阳穴=contemplate['k?ntemple?t;-t?m-]v注视,沉思,冥思苦想

小知识
A temple is a religious building that's meant for worshipping or praying. Hindu temples are typically devoted to one specific god.
While temples tend to be associated with non-Christian religions like Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism, some sects of Orthodox Christianity worship in temples as well. The Mormon church also calls its sacred structures temples. The word comes from the Latin templum, “consecrated piece of ground” or “building for worship of a god,” from a Proto-Indo-European root, tem-, “to cut,” from the idea of a space cleared or “cut down” for an altar.
