衣袂當風,裙帶輕飄……當下,“漢服熱”愈發升溫,在城市的大街小巷尤其是熱門旅遊景點,越來越多的人身着漢服出行。有人因漢服外觀好看而對其着迷,也有人熱衷於其背後的深厚文化內涵。來看看法新社對這一文化現象的報道。

Dressed in a flowing long robe adorned with beaded floral embroidery from a bygone era, stylist Xiao Hang looks like she surfaced from a time machine as she strides across the bustling Beijing metro, attracting curious glances and inquisitive questions.

身穿一件以珠子和繡花裝飾的古代飄逸長袍,設計師肖航(音)彷彿剛剛從一臺時間機器裏走出來,穿行在熙熙攘攘的北京地鐵裏,引來好奇的目光和追問。

embroidery [ɪm'brɒɪd(ə)rɪ; em-]:n.刺繡;刺繡品

中國掀起“漢服”熱 爲何越來越多年輕人對此着迷?

China has embraced Western fashion and futuristic technology as its economy boomed in recent decades, but a growing number of young people like Xiao are looking to the past for their sartorial choices and donning traditional "hanfu", or "Han clothing".

在過去幾十年裏,隨着中國經濟繁榮發展,中國人接受了西方的時尚和先進的未來技術,但是越來越多的像肖航這樣的年輕人開始在穿着打扮上追求復古,穿起了傳統的漢服。

These historic costumes of the Han ethnic majority are enjoying a renaissance in part because the government is promoting traditional culture.

漢服這種歷史服飾正迎來複興,這在一定程度上是因爲政府致力於推廣傳統文化。

renaissance [rɪˈneɪsns]:n.(藝術等的)新生,復活

Period dramas have also contributed to the surge in interest for traditional Chinese garb -- "The Story of Minglan", a TV series set in the Song Dynasty, garnered more than 400 million viewers in three days when it debuted earlier this year.

此外,一些古裝電視劇的熱播也激發了人們對中國傳統服飾的興趣。今年初,以宋朝爲背景的古裝電視劇《知否知否應是綠肥紅瘦》首播後,三天內就吸引到了超過4億觀衆。

There is no uniform definition of what counts as hanfu since each Han-dominated dynasty had its own style, but the outfits are characterized by loose, flowing robes that drape around the body, with sleeves that hang down to the knees.

漢服沒有統一的定義,因爲漢人統治的每個朝代都有自己的風格,但漢服的共同特徵是寬鬆飄逸的披身長袍和長至膝蓋的袖子。

drape[dreɪp]:vi.成褶皺狀垂下

"When we were little, we would also drape sheets and duvets around ourselves to pretend we were wearing beautiful clothes," Xiao told AFP.

肖航告訴法新社記者說:“我們小時候也會用牀單和被子把自己包起來,假裝穿的是漂亮衣服。”

Xiao, who used to work at a state-owned machine manufacturing company, now runs her own hanfu business, where she dresses customers for photo shoots and even plans hanfu-style weddings.

曾在一家機械製造國企工作的肖航現在經營漢服生意,主要是爲漢服攝影顧客提供服裝搭配服務,有時還會策劃漢服形式的婚禮。

古裝範,新時尚

In modern China, the hanfu community spans the gamut: from history enthusiasts to anime fans, to students and even young professionals.

在現代中國,漢服愛好者遍及各個領域:從歷史愛好者到動漫迷,再到學生甚至是年輕的職場人士。

gamut ['gæmət]:n.整個範圍

Yang Jiaming, a high school student in Beijing, wears his outfit under his school uniform.

北京高中生楊佳明(音)把他的古裝穿在校服裏面。

"Two-thirds of my wardrobe is hanfu," he said, decked out in a Tang-style beige gown and black boots at a hanfu gathering, adding that his classmates and teachers have been supportive of his style.

他穿着唐代樣式的米色長袍和黑色靴子參加一場漢服聚會。他說:“我的衣櫥裏有三分之二是漢服。”他還說,他的同學和老師都支持他的穿衣風格。

deck out:裝飾,打扮;盛裝打扮

beige[beɪʒ; beɪdʒ]:adj.淺褐色的;米黃色的

Clothes are the "foundation of culture," said Jiang Xue, who is part of Beijing-based hanfu club Mowutianxia.

位於北京的漢服社團墨舞天下的成員江雪(音)說,衣着是“文化的基礎”。

"If we as a people and as a country do not even understand our traditional clothing or don't wear them, how can we talk about other essential parts of our culture?" she said.

她說:“如果我們作爲一個民族、一個國家甚至不瞭解我們的傳統服裝或者不穿它們,我們怎麼去談論我們文化的其他重要部分?”

奇裝異服?

There is some way before the style reaches mainstream acceptance in China.

不過,這種風格要在中國得到主流認可還有一段路要走。

Others say they're deterred by the odd looks they get when wearing hanfu in public.

有人表示,公共場合的異樣目光讓他們不敢穿漢服。

deter [dɪ'tɜː]:vt.制止,阻止;使打消念頭

"I used to be very embarrassed to wear (hanfu) out," screenwriter Cheng Xia told AFP.

編劇程夏(音)告訴法新社記者說:“我以前穿着漢服出去感到很尷尬。”

Yang, the high school student, is more upbeat.

然而,高中生楊佳明卻更加樂觀。

He said: "At the very least, we can wear our own traditional clothes."

他說:“至少,我們可以穿自己的傳統服裝。”
