题目内容
The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture,and this is shown in traditional dress.You often find three colours—red,gold and green—in the clothing.The first colour stands for(象征)the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隶);the second is for the rich resources(资源)of the African earth;and the third represents the grasslands of home.
Because clothing has a strong social meaning,people are very careful in choosing what to wear.It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing,or to wear clothes in the wrong way,For example,in Ghana.a woman should wear her waistband(腰带)differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life.African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing.Tile climate,with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges(变化),requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.
Although many people wear Western clothes,particularly in the big cities in Africa,traditional African dress is very highly valued.This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
