释义

名词

印度女性的一种传统服装，以一段长绸布披着肩膀及围着身体。也称莎丽、沙丽、沙里、沙厘、沙利等。

DEFINITION

Noun

A traditional costume for Indian women that covers the shoulders and wraps around the body of the wearer with a long piece of silk. Also known in Mandarin as “莎丽”, “沙丽”, “沙里”, or “沙利”.

由来

Sari 或 saree 的音译，源于印地语。据说 Sari 来自梵文（即印地语的源头）中 “一条长布” 的意思。
纱丽有上百种穿法之说。根据不同印度族群的习惯，有的会披在肩膀的右边，有的披在左边，有的从胯下穿过，有的同时用来盖头等。一般在喜庆节日，印度女性会穿丝质纱丽。纱丽有不同的长度，通常介于五到八米长。
纱丽的起源虽然已经无从考证，但古印度的陶文物上有穿着一条长布绕全身的裤式装的女性，说明纱丽自古就是印度的服装。
纱丽在印度文化中有多重象征意义。因为衣物无需接缝，因此纱丽象征纯洁。印度女孩穿上纱丽也象征长大成人。此外，纱丽作为定情信物也是印度女性出嫁时的必备服饰，展现了夫家的经济能力。

ETYMOLOGY

The Mandarin term “纱丽” is a transliteration of the word sari or saree, which originated from Hindi. It is believed that sari came from Sanskrit (which Hindi descended from), meaning “a long piece of cloth”
There are said to be hundreds of ways to wear the sari. According to the customs of different Indian communities, some will drape it on the right shoulder while others will drape it on the left, while some will wrap it under the crotch and others use it to cover the head at the same time. Indian women usually wear silk sari on festive occasions. The sari also has different lengths, usually between five and eight metres long.
Although the origin of the sari is unverifiable, ancient Indian pottery relics feature women wearing trousers and wrapping a long piece of cloth around their whole body. This shows that the sari has been worn in India since ancient times.
The sari has multiple symbolic meanings in Indian culture. As it is seamless, the sari symbolises purity. Wearing the sari also symbolises adulthood for Indian girls. In addition, the sari is a token of love which Indian women must prepare when they get married, and it demonstrates the financial status of their in-laws.
