1. There are several American Indian groups in the Southwest that still make beautiful pottery. Some of this pottery may be sold at fairly high prices. But the makers consider their work as more than a commercial enterprise. By using methods handed down for generations, the potters express their pride in their cultural inheritance.

美国的西南部仍然有许多印第安部落在制作美丽的陶器。其中一些陶器可能会以相当高的价格卖出。但是制作者考虑到他们的作品不仅作商业用途。通过采用世代相传的制作方法，陶器展示了它们在文化遗产中的骄傲。

2. Some of the most interesting pottery is made by the Pueblo Indians. There are 21 individual pueblos in Arizona and New Mexico. Several are famous for their craftsmanship.

To make a pot, these potters use a clay base and add long thin coils of clay to it in a spiral pattern. When they have reached the size they want, they use an implement such as a rock or shell to smooth the surfaces of the pot.

有一些有趣的陶器是普韦布洛印第安人制作的。在亚利桑那州和新墨西哥州有21个独立的普韦布洛印第安部落。他们中有一些部落以擅长工艺而闻名。这些制陶工人使用黏土制作底座，再添加又长又薄的黏土将底座按螺旋状做成罐子。当他们做成他们想要的尺寸时，他们再用一个工具，比如一块石头或贝壳，来把罐子的表面抚平。

3.How a pot is decorated and fired depends on the traditions of the group making it. Traditional pottery produced by the Acoma, who have lived for centuries on a high mesa in New Mexico, is first painted with a clay slip.

The resulting pots: which are prized for their delicacy and strength, may be left white. They may also be painted with black and white patterns or with a combination of black, orange, and brown.

一个罐子如何装饰和烧制取决于制作它的部落的传统。传统的陶器早是用泥浆装饰，是由阿科马部落发明的，他们已经在新墨西哥的高平顶山上住了几个世纪了。用传统方法烧制的陶瓷可能只是白色，但其以精美坚固得到赞誉。他们可以被绘制成黑色或白色，或者是黑色、橙色和褐色的结合。

4. Very distinctive black pottery comes from the San Ildefonso and Santa Clara pueblos. The black color is the result of carbon being released from the animal manure in which the pot is fired. Some artisans hand –rub this ware to a shiny gloss.

Others cut patterns into it: resulting in a part shiny: part flat surface. Potters at SailIldefonso make many types of wares. Potters at Santa Clara are especially known for wedding jars-jars with two necks connected by a handle.

具有特色黑色陶器是由圣伊尔德丰索部落和圣克拉拉部落的普韦布洛人制作的。黑色是由用于烧制罐子的动物肥料中的碳释放出来形成的。一些工匠用手揉擦罐子表面，使它光泽平滑。其他人将样式分开，使得罐子一半表面光泽，另一半表面扁平。圣伊尔德丰索部落制作的陶器有多种类型。圣克拉拉部落的陶器尤其以他的婚礼罐子文明——罐子的两个颈部由一只把手连接。

5. Other groups such as the Hopi and the Cochiti also make pottery. Each group uses distinctive methods and produces distinctive forms and designs.

其他部落比如霍皮和柯契地族也制作陶器。每个部落都用独特的方法制作出特别形式和样式的陶器。
