Re: [請益] TPO 10 reading Chinese Pottery
※ 引述《mimipudding (咪咪布丁)》之銘言：
: Paragraph 5：Just as painted designs on Greek pots may seem today to be purely
: decorative, whereas in fact they were carefully and precisely worked out so
: that at the time, their meaning was clear, so it is with Chinese pots. To
: twentieth-century eyes, Chinese pottery may appear merely decorative, yet to
: the Chinese the form of each object and its adornment had meaning and
: significance. The dragon represented the emperor, and the phoenix, the empress;
: the pomegranate indicated fertility, and a pair of fish, happiness; mandarin
: ducks stood for wedded bliss; the pine tree, peach, and crane are emblems of
: long life; and fish leaping from waves indicated success in the civil service
: examinations. Only when European decorative themes were introduced did these
: meanings become obscured or even lost.
: 11. Paragraph 5 suggests which of the following about the decorations on
: Chinese pottery?
: ○ They had more importance for aristocrats than for ordinary citizens.
: ○ Their significance may have remained clear had the Chinese not come under
: foreign influence.
: ○ They contain some of the same images that appear on Greek pots
: ○ Their significance is now as clear to twentieth century observers as it
: was to the early Chinese.
文章第四行開始:
"Chinese pottery may appear merely decorative, yet to the Chinese the form
of each object and its adornment had meaning and significance."
表達出Chinese pottery的"meaning"和"significance"成分大於"decorative"成分
但最後一句又說:
"Only when European decorative themes were introduced did these
meanings become obscured or even lost."
表示European themes改變了上面所說Chinese pottery的特性
選項2的意思是: 若沒有外來和尚的影響，這個特性將不會變，符合上述邏輯
關鍵字: "European decorative themes" = "foreign influence"
對"become obscured or even lost"取反義 = "remained clear"
