　 The next day, on their way to Pahsien Cave
　　 Morley: So what's the story behind this cave we're going to?
　　 Kathy: Actually, it's a bunch of caves. Eight of them have temples dedicated to eight different gods.
　　 Morley: Really? That sounds interesting. Why did they set up the temples in the caves?
　　 Kathy: Well, legend has it that the gods all visited these caves at one time.
　　 Morley: You mean gods like Matsu, right?
　　 Kathy: These are a bit different. Matsu helped fishermen, but these gods helped other poor people.

　　 隔天，往八仙洞的路上
　　 莫理：我们要去的这个洞有什么典故？
　　 卡西：事实上，是很多洞。其中八个洞建有寺庙供奉八位不同的神。
　　 莫理：真的吗？真有趣。人们为何要在洞里盖庙？
　　 卡西：嗯，传说中八仙同时来到这些洞。
　　 莫理：你是说像妈祖那样的神，对吧？
　　 卡西：有点不一样。妈祖保佑渔夫，可是这些神帮助其它穷人。
