Frank: Hello, I'm currently doing a research on the fringe on North American clothing. Could I ask you a few questions?
弗蘭克：你好，我目前在做一項關于北美服裝上流蘇裝飾的研究。我可以問你幾個問題嗎？
Richard: I'll answer as best as I can.
理查德：我會盡我所能回答你的問題。
Frank: What was the purpose of fringe on North American clothes?
弗蘭克：北美洲衣服上的流蘇邊有什么作用？
Richard: As far as I know, the fringe was used to help shed moisture. The fringe shed water drops faster by swinging back and forth. Perhaps they also serve a decorative purpose, since in some cases the fringe is quite long.
理查德：據我所知，流蘇邊可以幫助驅除濕氣。通過來回擺動，流蘇邊可以更快地把水珠甩出去。可能也是一種裝飾，因為有些流蘇很長。
Frank: Are the fringe boots limited to the northern regions or spread through the continent?
弗蘭克：流蘇邊的靴子只存在于北部地區，還是整個大陸都有？
Richard: I think only in some regions. In others, moccasins and leggings were preferred. However, there is really no reliable way to tell since there was not much recording in North America before the 16th century. But evidence suggests that fringe has also a symbolic function, because fringe elements that have not much practical use were found on war shirts.
理查德：我覺得是只有一些地區有。其他地區使用鹿皮靴和綁腿較多。但是沒有準確的答案，因為北美地區在16世紀以前很少有記錄。但證據顯示，流蘇還有象征意義，原因是在戰袍上存在沒有實際作用的流蘇。
Frank: I see. Thank you very much.
弗蘭克：我明白了，謝謝你。
Richard: My pleasure.
理查德：不客氣。
