六级作文范文及点评 On the Importance of a Name According to the Bible, it is the almighty God who gave names to everything he created: he named the light Day and the darkness Night. In fact, a name is a word or phrase that man uses to denote and identify a specific person, place or thing. There is no inexorable correlation between the sign and the signified. For this reason, some claim that names are not so vital as they are supposed to be. However, I am fully convinced that they are of great importance. Take the name of a person as an example. It is known to all that a persons name is divided into two parts: given name and surname. The given name is the name our parents assign us. We ourselves might change it later in our life. Usually, when a name is given, it contains a lot of information. Say, li in the name of some Chinese females shows that we wish them to beautiful while wei in the names of some males reveals that we expect them to be great in their future life. As to the surname or family name, it is even more important, so important that some people may sacrifice their life for it. Originally, man had no such a name. But ever since a certain name was given, each member of the family carries it wherever he goes. Rather than merely a sign, it is the root from which we can trace back to our ancestor, the tie that helps bind us to other members of the same clan, the dignity most people hope to live for. |
