Whether the languages of the ancient American peoples were used for expressing abstract universal concepts can be clearly answered in the case of Nahuatl. Nahuatl, like Greek and German, is a language that allows the formation of extensive com-
line pounds. By the combination of radicals or semantic elements, single compound words
5 can express complex conceptual relations, often of an abstract universal character.
The tlamatinime(those who know)were able to use this rich stock of abstract terms to express the nuances of their thought. They also availed themselves of other forms of expression with metaphorical meaning, some probably original, some derived from Toltec coinages. Of these forms, the most characteristic in Nahuatl is the juxtaposition
10 of two words that, because they are synonyms, associated terms, or even contraries, complement each other to evoke one single idea. Used metaphorically, the juxtaposed terms connote specific or essential traits of the being they refer to, introducing a mode of poetry as an almost habitual form of expression.
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage regarding present-day research relating to Nahuatl?
选项
A、Some record or evidence of the thought of the tlamatinime is available.
B、For at least some Nahuatl expressions, researchers are able to trace their derivation from another ancient American language.
C、Researchers believe that in Nahuatl, abstract universal concepts are always expressed metaphorically.
答案
A,B
解析
Choices A and B are correct.
Choice A is correct: the tlamatinime are mentioned in the first sentence of the second paragraph, where it says they were able to use Nahuatl’s stock of abstract terms "to express the nuances of their thought." This suggests that there is some evidence of what those thoughts were, and therefore Choice A can be inferred.
Choice B is correct: according to the next sentence, Nahuatl speakers used "forms of expression with metaphorical meaning," some of which were probably "original" and others "derived from Toltec coinages." That researchers know certain Nahuatl expressions are derived from Toltec suggests that they are able to trace the derivation of some Nahuatl expressions from another language besides Nahuatl, and therefore Choice B may be inferred.
Choice C is incorrect: the passage says that in Nahuatl there are single compound words that can express conceptual relations of an "abstract universal character" and mentions "other forms of expression with metaphorical meaning," but it does not indicate whether metaphorical words or phrases are the only way that abstract universal concepts are expressed in Nahuatl, or whether researchers believe this about Nahuatl. Therefore Choice C cannot be inferred.
