Voice 1: In Navajo culture, people often use pottery, or containers made from earth. The artists who make this pottery also include an imperfection. They never make a line that makes a circle around the pottery. The artists never connect the lines. They believe that if they make a perfect circle around the pottery, their spirit will be trapped inside the container.
声音1:在纳瓦霍文化中,人们经常使用陶器或用泥土做的容器。制作这种陶器的艺术家通常会纳入一些缺陷。他们从不在陶器上画可以连成一圈的线。艺术家从不将线条连接起来。他们认为,如果用完美的线条将陶器圈起来,那他们的灵魂就会被困在陶器里。
Voice 2: We can find another example of imperfection in quilts. A quilt is a blanket made from many pieces of cloth. African American slaves used to put imperfections in their quilts. They said it would "distract the devil at night." They thought perfect quilts were unlucky.
声音2:我们可以在被子上找到不完美的另一个例证。被子是用多块布料做成的毯子。非洲裔美国奴隶过去经常在被子上展现出不完美。他们说,这会“在夜晚分散恶魔的注意力”。他们认为完美的被子是不吉利的。
