Using the points and examples from the lecture,
請用課上的觀點和例子
explain what unity and contrast are and how they make interior design more effective.
解釋一致和對比的含義，以及它們是如何使得室內設計更有效果的。
Listen to part of a lecture in an Interior Design class.
請聽室內設計課上的部分內容。
So we're talking about interior design, uh,
我們接下來要討論室內設計，
specifically the basic principles typically used in home and office decoration in the United States.
尤其是美國國內家庭和辦公室裝修時通常會用到的基本原則。
Effective designs create a delicate balance between two things: you need unity and you also need contrast,
有效的設計會在一致和對比之間創造出一種微妙的平衡，
which is essentially a break in unity.
其中對比本質上來說就是一致的一種突破。
Now, this might seem a little contradictory but let me explain why we need both of these for an effective design.
這聽起來可能有點矛盾，但是我會給你們解釋為什么這兩種東西在有效設計中缺一不可的。
So for the first principle, we need unity in our design.
第一個原則就是我們在設計時需要保持一致。
Think of it as a consistency.
你們可以把它當做相容性來理解。
Well, an easy and very effective way to do this is by bringing together similar elements,
要做到這一點有個很簡單有效的方法，就是把相似的元素集中在一起，
uh, common example is by matching colors.
比較常見的例子就是顏色搭配。
You pick a color and use it for different parts of the room.
比如你選了一個顏色，要把它用在房間的不同部分。
Say, you pick green and then use a light shade of green for the walls,
假設你選的是綠色，那么在墻面就可以用一種淺一些的綠色，
and maybe a somewhat darker shade for the fabric on the sofa and finally compliment that with a matching green rug.
沙發布料的顏色也許可以用個稍微深一點的綠色，最后再加一個相配的綠色地毯。
When elements match, the room is unified and gives its resident a sense of order and comfort.
當元素互相匹配的時候，房間就達到了一致，給住戶一種有序舒適的感覺。
OK, but there is such a thing as too much unity.
但是也存在過度一致的情況。
Remember, you need a balance of unity and contrast.
記住，在一致和對比之間你需要找到平衡。
If all you do is focus on unity, the result will be a boring room!
如果僅僅關注一致的話，房間的設計就會很無聊。
So what do you do?
那么，該怎么做呢？
Well, you apply the second basic principle of design, which is contrast.
這時候就要用上設計的第二個基本原則了，也就是對比。
Contrast serves to disrupt or break up unity in places, but, in a careful and intentional way.
對比能夠在某些地方打破一致，不過是以一種小心有意的方式。
Um, well, let's continue using color as an example.
我們繼續以顏色為例。
To create contrast, color contrast, you need to abruptly change your color scheme once in a while.
要創造出對比...顏色對比的話，需要偶爾突然改變配色方案。
Uh, let's see, you could throw bright red cushions on your dark green sofa for example.
比如可以在深綠色沙發上放上亮紅色的抱枕。
Contrast makes things stand out. The green will look even greener next to the red!
對比可以使事物更加突出。在紅色的映襯下，綠色看起來會更綠。
So, now your room is more interesting, not completely the same.
這樣房間的設計會更有趣一些，而不是千篇一律。
But watch out! Too much contrast is also dangerous.
不過千萬要注意！太多的對比同樣也很危險。
Just like too much sameness is. Too much contrast will make the room feel busy, chaotic.
就像過度一致會讓房間很無聊一樣，太多對比會讓整個房間看起來眼花繚亂，混亂不堪。
