While these names might sound as if they have a derisive edge to them, the Iwan invest them with no such meaning. "Names that are a mixture of praise and reproach are the history of a person's life in miniature," says Huang with great animation. "If you have many nicknames, it means that you have had a colorful past."
這些聽起來有嘲諷意味的綽號，對宜灣人來說卻是別具意義，因為「毀譽參半的綽名正（是）個人生命史的縮影，綽名越多表示其過去的生活多采多姿。」
