奥拉AURA

但愿我也能这样吹笛子。
Wish I could play the flute like this.

我觉得,你、我和大自然有一些共同的东西,十分美好。无论你是谁,如果你在这个世界上,你就会与四季同步。这都与我们围绕恒星的运动有关。所以当天气寒冷的时候,一些人迎来了圣诞节,霍皮人迎来了索亚尔节,我们把它翻译成克奇纳神回归。每个人都有自己的故事,而我们所在的宇宙飞行激发了我们的故事。霍皮人的一年开始于12月底或1月初的索亚尔节,克奇纳神回归;泼瓦姆,即豆子舞,在2月下旬;3月和4月的基瓦夜舞;尼曼,即回家舞,在6月底或7月初;蛇在秋天起舞;乌悟寝,即入会仪式,在11月下旬举行。
I think there’s something beautiful about how much we have in common with each other and with the rest of nature. It doesn’t seem to matter what you are, you are in synch with the seasons if you’re in this world. And it all has to do with our movement around our star. So when it’s cold it may be Christmas for some or Soyal for the Hopi, or as we’ve translated it, the return of Kachina. Everybody has their own story, but it’s the voyage of the spaceship we’re on that inspires it. The Hopi year starts with Soyal, or Kachina Return, in late December or early January; Powamu, or Bean Dance, in late February; Night Kiva Dances in March and April; Niman, or Going Home Dance, in late June or early July; Snake dances in the fall; Wuwuchim, or Initiation, in late November.

它们都与萌发、生长和收获的周期有关。生,长,死,然后不断循环。
They’re all connected with cycles of germination, growth, and then harvest. Of birth, life, death and then repeat.

乌悟寝, 索亚尔和泼瓦姆与种子萌发有关;尼曼、蛇、笛子与成长有关;而女人们的仪式则以收获果实和周而复始有关。
Wuwuchim, Soyal and Powamu have to do with the germination ; Niman, Snake and Flute with growth; and the women’s ceremonies with fruition and repeat.

“这张莫拉的照片,描述了在11月举行的部落入会仪式上,
一个女人用“污水”泼向一群乌悟寝人。
更多关于神秘剧的内容,
载歌载舞的霍皮人盛会是一种宗教体验...... ”

“In this Mora photo, a woman douses a group of Wuwuchim men
with ‘foul water’ during a tribal initiation ceremony held in November.
More in the order of mystery plays, the theatrical song-dance
pageants of the Hopi are religious experiences...”
