Alma: Clothes have rich symbolic functions for a traditional African society. One resulting phenomenon is that Africans are very specific about the fabric of cloth.
阿爾瑪：對于傳統非洲社會來說，服飾有重要的象征作用。因此非洲人對于布料的質地非常講究。
Daniel: How do they differentiate between the different types of cloth?
丹尼爾：他們怎么區分不同種類的布料呢？
Alma: The value of the different cloth types is determined concerning how it's made and dyed.
阿爾瑪：不同布料種類的價值是按它們的制作和染色方法來確定的。
Daniel: Really? How?
丹尼爾：是嗎？具體方法是什么？
Alma: The finest cloth is woven with pattern. Tie dyes follow. The third type is batiks while industrial prints come the last.
阿爾瑪：最上等的布料是帶圖案的織布，其次是扎染的布，第三種是蠟染，最后才是工業印染的布。
Daniel: Is the first category valued because it's more time-consuming?
丹尼爾：第一種布最珍貴是因為制作起來更耗時嗎？
Alma: Partly, and partly because it is handed down from generation to generation, and serves as an ancestral link.
阿爾瑪：一部分原因是這樣，還有一部分原因是織布是代代流傳下來的，是與祖先的一種聯系。
