Dozens of pairs of eyes stare at us curiously.Huang gives us Ami names: one is Sla (meaning earth or source) and the other is Nipon (meaning Japan, also the name of the current village chief.) Then the chief and an old woman named Sla pour wine for us in a naming ceremony.
幾十雙眼睛好奇地盯著我們，黃貴潮為我們取了阿美族的名字，一個叫斯拉（土地、根源之意），一個叫尼蹦（日本之意，也是現今頭目的名字），然後由同名的老婦及頭目向我們斟酒，是為取名禮。
