新墨西哥的陶斯普魏布勒
您知道什么是普魏布勒(pueblo：念做pway-blow)吗？
这是由一大群建筑物所组成的印地安社区，而这些建筑物可容纳许多家庭。陶斯普魏布勒是新墨西哥境内的普魏布勒印地安社区，应有约600年的历史，而且仍是可供人居住的社区。建筑物的墙是用晒干的泥砖 (adobe) 建成，某些地方的泥砖约有两英尺厚。而屋顶则是由西洋杉原木、草席、树枝、草及晒干的泥砖组成。原本住在此处的居民是由矮小的门或由与屋顶入口相连的梯子进入建筑物内，这样的入口迫使入侵者必须弯腰或攀爬入内，但因为入侵的威胁已渐渐降低，所以这样的入口已逐渐失去它的必要性，因而现今的普魏布勒都设有许多较大的门及窗户。时至今日，游客可以前来参观这些住所及观看仪式以了解常规的普魏布勒印地安人的生活。
Do you know what a pueblo (pronounced pway-blow) is?
It is an Indian community made up of a large cluster of buildings meant to house many families. Taos Pueblo is a Pueblo Indian community in New Mexico that is thought to be around 600 years old and is still used as a residence. The buildings' walls are made of adobe, or sun-dried mud brick, that is two-feet thick in some places. The roofs consist of cedar logs, mats, branches, grass, and adobe. The pueblo's residents originally entered the building through small, low doors or climbed down ladders through rooftop entrances. These entryways would have forced invaders to stoop or climb in order to enter the building. The entrances became less necessary as threat of invasion decreased, and today the pueblo has many more large doors and windows. Today visitors may come to see the dwellings and watch ceremonies in order to learn about traditional Pueblo Indian life.
