  托福阅读词汇题:whereas

  【Paragraph 5】Just as painted designs on Greek pots may seem today to be purely decorative, whereas in fact  they were carefully and precisely worked out so that at the time, their meaning was clear, so it is with Chinese pots. To twentieth-century eyes, Chinese pottery may appear merely decorative, yet to the Chinese the form of each object and its adornment had meaning and significance. The dragon represented the emperor, and the phoenix, the  empress; the pomegranate indicated fertility, and a pair of fish, happiness; mandarin ducks stood for wedded bliss; the pine tree, peach, and crane are emblems of long life; and fish leaping from waves indicated success in the civil service examinations. Only when European decorative themes were introduced did these meanings become obscured or even lost.(Chinese Pottery)

  ○ while

  ○ previously

  ○ surprisingly

  ○ because
