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.
聲音1:在納瓦霍文化中,人們經常使用陶器或用泥土做的容器。制作這種陶器的藝術家通常會納入一些缺陷。他們從不在陶器上畫可以連成一圈的線。藝術家從不將線條連接起來。他們認為,如果用完美的線條將陶器圈起來,那他們的靈魂就會被困在陶器里。
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.
聲音2:我們可以在被子上找到不完美的另一個例證。被子是用多塊布料做成的毯子。非洲裔美國奴隸過去經常在被子上展現出不完美。他們說,這會“在夜晚分散惡魔的注意力”。他們認為完美的被子是不吉利的。
