For instance, one night in Haocha Village of Wutai, I witnessed Chiu Chin-shih (or Auvuni as he is known among the Rukai) dip his index finger in his drink and flick it at the sky and the ground before drinking himself. He did so to show that he had not forgotten the gods and his ancestors, to display his desire to share goo d things with them.
例如，有一晚到霧台鄉好茶村，歐威尼．卡露斯（邱金士）喝酒前先用食指沾酒灑向天、地，以示飲酒前不忘天神和祖先，好東西要和他們一起分享，這個習俗漢人就不太瞭解。
