  1

  Nahuatl, like Greek and German, is a language that allows the formation of extensive compounds.

  纳瓦语,和希腊语以及德语类似,是一种允许大量复合词的语言。

  纳瓦语 [Nahuatl language]

  墨西哥的犹他-阿兹特克诸语言,通行于墨西哥中部和西部,是犹他-阿兹特克语系中最重要的语言。阿兹特克人的大多数文献是用纳瓦语写的。16世纪20年代,阿兹特克帝国被征服后,纳瓦语开始用西班牙语字根进行拼写。从16世纪保存下来的文字记载,是由西班牙传教士根据西班牙文所创制的文字书写的,包括了编年史、城市记录、诗歌等。方济会修士B.de萨阿贡(1499~1590)根据印第安人提供的纳瓦文化的资料写成《新西班牙文物史》。

  2

  By the combination of radicals or semantic elements, single compound words can express complex conceptual relations, often of an abstract universal character.

  通过词根和语义元素的结合,单独的复合词可以表达复杂的抽象的普遍概念关系。

  3

  The tlamatinime ( “ those who know ” ) were able to use this rich stock of abstract terms to express the nuances of their thought.

  TL 们(“博学之人”)能够使用使用这些丰富的抽象用语表达他们想法的细微差别。

  4

  They also availed themselves of other forms of expression with metaphorical meaning, some probably original, some derived from Toltec coinages.

  他们(TL)也能借助其他隐喻的表法方式,一些也许是原创的,一些则源自托尔特克新词。

  5

  Of these forms the most characteristic in Nahuatl is the juxtaposition of two words that, because they are synonyms, associated terms, or even contraries, complement each other to evoke one single idea.

  纳瓦语复合词中最典型的形式是两个词的并列组合,因为他们原本是同义词、相关联的词,甚至反义词,互补以产生一种新概念

  6

  Used as metaphor, 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. (140 words)

  作为象征使用时,并置复合词隐含了特定的或基本的原指代物特征,引入了一种诗化的模式,几乎作为一种习惯性的表达形式。

  9. According to the passage, some abstract universal ideas can be expressed in Nahuatl by

  (A) taking away from a word any reference to particular instances

  (B) removing a word from its associations with other words

  (C) giving a word a new and opposite meaning

  (D) putting various meaningful elements together in one word

  (E) turning each word of a phrase into a poetic metaphor

  选D

  见句 2 。全文都在讲复合词、复合词、复合词,所以只能选 D 。

  For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

  10. It can be inferred solely from the information in the passage EXCEPT that

  □A all abstract universal ideas are ideas of complex relations

  □B some record or evidence of the thought of the tlamatinime exists

  □C metaphors are always used in Nahuatl to express abstract conceptual relationships

  选AC

  A

  理由 1,

  见句 2 :

  “By the combination of radicals or semantic elements, single compound words can express complex conceptual relations, often of an abstract universal character.”

  有 often 所以 all 显得十足可疑;

  理由 2,

  所有抽象概念,未必都是有复杂关系的概念,因为可能那种抽象概念原本就对应一个单词,而不需要造出一个复合词来表达。

  C

  见句 6 :

  跟 abstract conceptual relationships 毫无关系。
