Noun:
a temporary condition of torment or suffering;a purgatory of drug abuse theology in Roman Catholic theology the place where those who have died in a state of grace undergo limited torment to expiate their sins单词purgatory炼狱原本是一个基督教的术语，指的是人死后，灵魂被“锤炼”、“净化”的地方。单词purgatory来自pure纯净，字面意思就是“净化的场所”。
按照基督教的说话，人信仰基督后即可灵魂得救，死后升入天堂。但是，如果生前尚有罪恶没有赎罪，或没有充分地悔罪，死后灵魂并不能马上升天，而是先要在炼狱中进行净化。但丁在《神曲》中提到，炼狱共有9层，生前犯有罪过，但可以得到宽恕的灵魂，按人类的七大罪过，分别在那里忏悔罪过，洗涤灵魂。
现在，purgatory不仅表示“炼狱”，常常用来比喻磨炼、暂时的苦难。
