第五行至第七行有提到frontality在Egypt扮演的功能
(以上內容由美加 林子育老師提供)
※ 引述《sandymirror (好想告訴你,但已經來不及)》之銘言：
: 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.
: 4. According to paragraph 2, why are Egyptian statues portrayed frontalty?
: ○ To create a psychological effect of distance and isolation
: ○ To allow them to fulfill their important role in ceremonies of Egyptian
: life
: ○ To provide a contrast to statues with a decorative function
: ○ To suggest the rigid, unchanging Egyptian philosophical attitudes
: 正確答案是B
: 但我都認為是D，不知道B的答案從哪裡得知的呢?
