黃金閱讀第45篇Ancient Egyptian Sculpture - 英檢

Table of Contents

我想請問一下這篇的第六題 摘錄原文如下~

(這樣排版會不會很難閱讀阿 >"< ?)

Paragraph 2: The majority of three-dimensional representations, whether

standing, seated, or kneeling, exhibit what is called frontality: they face

straight ahead, neither twisting nor turning. When such statues are viewed in

isolation, out of their original context and without knowledge of their

function, it is easy to criticize them for their rigid attitudes that

remained unchanged for three thousand years. Frontality is, however, directly

related to the functions of Egyptian statuary and the contexts in which the

statues were set up. Statues were created not for their decorative effect but

to play a primary role in the cults of the gods, the king, and the dead. They

were designed to be put in places where these beings could manifest

themselves in order to be the recipients of ritual actions. Thus it made

sense to show the statue looking ahead at what was happening in front of it,

so that the living performer of the ritual could interact with the divine or

deceased recipient. Very often such statues were enclosed in rectangular

shrines or wall niches whose only opening was at the front, making it natural

for the statue to display frontality. Other statues were designed to be

placed within an architectural setting, for instance, in front of the

monumental entrance gateways to temples known as pylons, or in pillared

courts, where they would be placed against or between pillars: their

frontality worked perfectly within the architectural context.


6. The author mentions an architectural setting in the passage in order to
○ suggest that architecture was as important as sculpture to Egyptian artists
○ offer 3 further explanation for the frontal pose of Egyptian statues
○ explain how the display of statues replaced other forms of architectural
decoration
○ illustrate the religious function of Egyptian statues

我是選第四個答案,但是給的參考答案是第二個。

我找不到是哪三個further explanation for the frontal pose of Egyptian statues

(囧)

麻煩各位解答了 ( ̄□ ̄|||)a

第一個向前看的目的是跟宗教儀式有關

第二個是放在凹室中,所以向前也很合理
第三個就是和pillar這些architecture結合,向前也
非常的合適,所以這是支持雕像都向前的第三個理由
