The two character combination 煩惱 is the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit kleśa, which is often translated to English as “affliction”.

The two character combination 智慧 is one way of translating the Sanskrit prajñā.

The two character combination 菩提 is the Chinese transliteration of the Sanskrit bodhi, and here I think it can be take as short for “bodhi mind”, that is, Bodhicitta.
