The Bedouin people, a tribe living in the deserts of Arabia and Northern Africa, think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’ s family and tribe.
The Bedouin people are proud of their ancestors(祖先). They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They especially respect those who have inherited (继承) a good family name and then have passed it on to their children.
A man’ s position among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are
disgraced
, he, too, is disgraced. Therefore, one carefully guards the honor of his family and his tribe.
A man can protect his family’ s honor by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.
A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done something wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue (美德).
The word "disgraced" (Para. 3) means "______".
选项
A、disappeared
B、disappointed
C、dishonored
D、discouraged
答案
C
解析
根据第三段第二、三句“If they are honored,he is also honored.If they are disgraced,he,too,is disgraced.”可推知,disgrace和honor应该是反义词,而dishonor从构词法上来说是在honor前加上否定前缀“dis-”,因此disgraced应该和dishonored同义。
