Paula: It has been said that changes in the style of clothing, especially clothing for women, reflect the culture of a historical period. What do you think?
保拉：有人说服饰风格的变化，尤其是女性服饰风格的变化反映了一定历史时期的文化，你怎么看？
Evelyn: I would agree. Clothing is not only about utilities, but also aesthetics. Women's clothing in particular holds up a mirror to the beliefs of the time and women's position in society.
伊夫林：我同意这种说法。服装不仅有实用价值还有审美价值，而女性的服装则反映出一个时期的观念和女性在社会中的地位。
Paula: Can you illustrate that?
保拉：你能具体说明一下吗？
Evelyn: For example, in the Han dynasty, officials wore silk garments with specific rules on color; while farmers, merchants and scholars dressed in the same style. Silk is a symbol of distinction. Rules on color and style signify the social hierarchy.
伊夫林：举个例子，汉代官员穿丝绸外衫，颜色也必须符合规定；而农民、商人和读书人则穿同种样式的衣服。绸缎是身份的象征，关于颜色和样式规定代表着社会等级。
Paula: That's right. What about in other times?
保拉：说的不错。那么其他时期呢？
Evelyn: Let's take the Tang Dynasty as another example. People's clothes were more varied than before because the society was more open and received influences from other countries.
伊夫林：我们再来看唐朝。这时衣服的样式更加多样化，是因为社会比较开放，并且受到了其他国家的影响。
Paula: I know women's clothing at that time is very showy, made of exquisite materials and the collar is often quite low.
保拉：我知道唐朝女子的衣服非常艳丽，衣料精美，领口通常很低。
Evelyn: Moral restrictions were loosed on women during this period. And sometimes women were even allowed to dress like men.
伊夫林：这一时期对于女性的道德束缚有所放松。有时女子甚至可以穿和男子一样的衣服。
