Australia澳大利亚风土人情(英文版).pptVIP

Indigenous Australians  居住在澳大利亚的土著人（也称原住民），仍然保护着自己的风俗习惯。他们以狩猎为生，“飞去来器”（boomerang）是他们独特的狩猎武器。他们很多仍居住在用树枝和泥土搭成的窝棚里，围一块布或用袋鼠皮蔽体，并喜欢纹身或在身上涂抹各种颜色。平时仅在颊、肩和胸部涂上一些黄白颜色，节庆仪式或节日歌舞时彩绘全身。纹身多为粗线条，有的像雨点，有的似波纹，对经过成年礼的土著人来说纹身不仅是装饰，而且还用以吸引异性的爱慕。在狂欢舞会上，人们头戴五彩装饰，身画彩纹、围着篝火跳集体舞。舞蹈纯朴，多反映狩猎生活等。 Australia 对外汉语一班 GROUP 2 赵佳华 仝蒙 孙爽 韩末 Quiz Q1: What’s the capital of Australia?
