Question

temporal adj.现世的；暂时的；当时的；太阳穴的；颞的 (1) 他只关心世俗之事。(2) 教皇在当代社会没有世俗方面的权利。(3) 暂时隔离是可行的。(4) 放下你的剑吧，静享这暂时的和平。(5) 我无法用语言来描述我当时的感受。 Temporal comes from the Latin word temporalis which means "of time" and is usually applied to words that mean not having much of it, such as the temp who works at an office for a set amount of time, because temporary situations don't last long. A less common word, temporality also means having limited time, and it rhymes with mortality! (Don't remind us.) Temporal implies "of this earth," too — temporal boundaries keep us from being able to fly around the clouds, but spiritual beings can zing around at will. Temporal can also refer to temples, the ones on the side of your head that are probably aching by now.
