制作电影

It was movie day at Kids Central. The kids had just watched a cartoon. When it was over, Miss Shelly turned on the lights. “ I love cartoons, especially space adventures, ” Jason said. “ Miss Shelly, can we draw pictures from the movie?” “ Jason is really good at drawing, ” Ethan said.

那天是儿童中心的电影日，孩子们刚刚看了一部动画片。 结束后，雪莉小姐打开了灯。 “我喜欢动画片，尤其是太空冒险，”杰森说。 “雪莉小姐，我们能从电影中画画吗？” “杰森真的很擅长画画，”伊森说。

“ My mom just signed me up for art lessons, ” Jason said. “ My first lesson is today. ” “ Fun! ” Izzie said. Jason looked unsure. “ I hope the teacher doesn’t tell me what to draw. I like drawing my own stuff. ”

“我妈妈刚给我报了艺术课，”杰森说。“我的第一课是今天。” “有趣！”伊兹说。 杰森看起来不确定。“我希望老师不要告诉我画什么。我喜欢自己画东西。”

“ Well, I think you’ll like today’s drawing activity, Jason, ” Miss Shelly said. “ We’re going to make flip books. We’ll draw cartoons and turn them into movies. ” “ That’s called animation! ” Jason said. “ Right! ” Miss Shelly smiled and held up a small booklet. “ This is my flip book. I made a movie with a dancing dot. Watch. ”

“我想你会喜欢今天的绘画活动，杰森，”雪莉小姐说。 “我们将制作翻书。我们将画漫画并将其转化为电影。” “这叫动画！”杰森说。 “对！”雪莉小姐笑着举起一本小册子。 “这是我的翻书。我拍了一部有跳舞圆点的电影。看。”

Miss Shelly flipped the pages of her book. A dot with feet danced across the paper. “ It looks like that dot is really moving, ” Izzie said. Miss Shelly handed out three sheets of paper to everyone. “ Stack the sheets of paper and fold them in half, ” she said.

雪莉小姐翻了翻她的书。 一个有脚的圆点在纸上跳舞。 “看起来那个点真的在移动，”伊兹说。 雪莉小姐给每个人发了三张纸。 “把纸叠起来，对折，”她说。

“ Cut along the fold so you get two stacks of paper. ” “ Next fold each stack in half lengthwise. Cut each fold and now you’ll have—” “ Twelve strips, ” Jason said. “ Yep. Now stack the strips and fold that stack in half. ” “ Now we staple the pages on the folded side, right?” Ethan asked. “ That makes a booklet with 24 pages. ”

“沿着折痕剪，这样你就可以得到两叠纸了。” “下一步，将每一摞纵向对折。剪下每一折，现在你就……” “十二条，”杰森说。 “是的。现在把纸条叠起来，然后把那叠叠对折。” “现在我们把书页钉在折叠的一面，对吗？”伊森问道。“这就是一本24页的小册子。”
