English Dictionary

transept

IPA（発音記号）

/ˈtɹænsɛpt/

名詞

(architecture) The transversal part of a church, which crosses at right angles to the greatest length, and between the nave and choir. In the basilicas, this had often no projection at its two ends. In Gothic churches these project greatly, and should be called the arms of the transept. It is common, however, to speak of the arms themselves as the transepts.

日本語の意味

教会建築における横断部。大聖堂などで、祭壇側と信者側の中間部に位置し、教会の長辺と直角に交わる部分を指す。

Here, in the transept and choir, where the service was being held, one was conscious every moment of an increasing brightness; colours glowing vividly beneath the circular chandeliers, and the rows of small lights on the choristers' desks flashed and sparkled in front of the boys' faces, deep linen collars, and red neckbands.
