Sioux names were a language unto themselves, laden with descriptive, allusive, or even magical meaning. A Sioux baby was named soon after birth--usually by a medicine man or a paternal relative--and the entire village participated in the occasion. The infant might be named for an animal, for a physical phenomenon such as thunder that occurred on the day of the birth, or even for a brave deed that once had been performed by the giver of the name. A woman generally kept the name she received at birth, but a man often replace his original name with a new one that celebrated a personal act of valor, recalled an encounter with an unusual animal, or perhaps was inspired by a dream. However, a man who had a distinguishing characteristic was forever known by an apposite nickname, such as Big Hand. Because Sioux names almost always were based on something objective, they could easily be rendered as pictographs-frequently with a line connecting visual representations of the name and a human head to signify ownership. Below are some Sioux signatures.
Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
选项
A、Sioux Signatures.
B、Unusual Sioux Names.
C、How the Sioux were Named.
D、Sioux Language and Customs.
答案
B
解析
本题为主题题。全文介绍了苏人姓名均有特殊的含义,即“descriptive,allusive,or even magical”的含义。介绍了婴儿如何得到名字,女人和男人如何改变自己的名字,苏人名字写法的特殊等。由此可见本文是在讲述苏人名字的特别之处,因此选B。
