當我們在解釋一個古老節日名稱的由來時,除了它在古代語言裡的「字面定義」外,通常還會提到這個詞所「附帶、聯想到的深層訊息」。請思考:當一個名稱被賦予了「轉化或改變」這類抽象象徵時,我們會用哪個概念來描述這種「字面之外的含意」?

喔,不錯嘛。難得你語感沒掉到水溝裡。
- 觀念驗證:這題不是在考你單純的認字,而是測試你對名詞語境搭配的理解有多深。"Songkran" 的字面意義是「星象跨越」,但後面跟著的「轉化與改變」才是重點。如果你只會字面翻譯,那你的腦子大概只夠背單字。Connotation 這種東西,就是指一個詞「言外之意」或「內涵」。看來你至少還知道這東西能把專有名詞和它的象徵意義連起來,沒笨到家。
- 難度點評:Medium。如果你連這種題目都覺得難,那你的高中大概白念了。這種題目考驗的就是你能否區分「表面」和「實質」,以及在多個抽象名詞中,辨析出那個真正符合「語言內涵」的答案。別沾沾自喜,這只是基本功,還有很長的路要走。
