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.
According to the passage, which of the following people was most likely to give a Sioux baby its original name?
选项
A、A member of the father’s family.
B、A member of the mother’s family.
C、The wife of the medicine man.
D、The bravest warrior in the village.
答案
A
解析
文章第二句“A Sioux baby was named soon after birth—usually by a medicine man or a paternal relative”指出,由“有法术之人”或“父系亲属”为婴儿命名,因此应选A。
