George: You can always recognize something Islamic by the patterns and motifs, whether it's a carpet or a mural.
乔治：你总是能通过装饰图案和形状而认出伊斯兰教的东西，不管是地毯还是壁画。
Laura: That's why it has got a distinct name — arabesque.
劳拉：因此它才有一个特殊的名字——阿拉伯式花纹。
George: Really? I didn't know that.
乔治：真的吗？我之前不知道。
Laura: Yeah. It often consists of interlacing vines and flowers, and used for decoration. Islamic art emphasizes ornamentation rather than art for art's sake.
劳拉：是啊。这种花纹通常由相互交缠的藤蔓和花构成，并用于装饰。伊斯兰教艺术强调其装饰性而非艺术本身的价值。
George: One could see that. Does this form of decoration have to do with the essence of the Islamic faith?
乔治：这倒可以看出来。这种装饰方式和伊斯兰教的主旨有什么关系吗？
Laura: Sure it does. Art is the mirror of a culture and its world view. The repetition of patterns in Islamic art symbolizes that Allah is infinite.
劳拉：当然有了。艺术是一面反映其文化和世界观的镜子。伊斯兰教绘画艺术中图案的重复象征着安拉是无穷尽的。
George: So that explains it.
乔治：原来是这样。
