《趣味七巧板》 马西奥·卡塔拉诺 旁白 朱莉·埃利斯 著

A tan gram is a very old puzzle game that came from China. It has seven parts. The parts are called tans. The tans can be used to make shapes.

七巧板是一种源自中国的古老益智游戏。 它一共有七个部件。 这些部件叫做七巧块。 七巧块可以拼成各种形状。

The puzzle is made of the seven tans cut from one square. They can be made out of paper or wood.

这套益智玩具的七个块是从一整块正方形裁剪出来的。 它们可以用 纸或者木头制作。

There are only three rules for the game. Number one, you have to use all of the seven tans. Number two, every tan has to touch another tan. Number three, the tans can't go over the top of other tans.

这个游戏只有三条规则。 第一条，你必须用到 全部七个七巧块。 第二条，每个七巧块 都必须和另一个七巧块相接触。 第三条，七巧块不能叠在 其他七巧块的上面。

You could make letters and numbers with tans. How old are you? Can you make the first letter of your own name?

你可以用七巧块拼出字母和数字。 你今年几岁啦？ 你能拼出你名字的首字母吗？

What animals can you make? Can you make a rabbit or a dog or a cat? There is more than one way to make them.

你能拼出哪些动物呢？ 你能拼出兔子、小狗或者小猫吗？ 拼这些动物的方法可不止一种哦。
