Sounds All Around

Sounds All Around

到处都有声音

Snap your fingers. Clap your hands Whistle! Clatter some pans. You're making sounds! Crinkle-crunch through dry leaves. Splish-splash in a puddle.

弹弹手指头，拍拍两只手，吹吹口哨，敲敲锅!你在制造声音呢! 嘎吱嘎吱地踩过枯树叶。啪嗒啪嗒地踩过小水坑。

Sad sounds! Make happy sounds! Scary sounds! Mad sounds! Shake a can of marbles. . . rattle, rattle, rattle. Shake a can of cheese puffs. . . pluff, pluff, pluff. Shake a can of pencils. . . clank, clank, clank. Your sounds fill the air. Make more sounds. Sing. Talk. Hum. Thesesounds come out of your mouth, but they start inyour throat.

摇一摇弹珠罐·……··哐!哐!哐! 摇一摇奶片盒······啪!啪!啪! 摇一摇笔筒······ 咚!咚!咚!到处都是你制造的声音。 你可以制造更多的声音，唱一唱，说一说，哼一哼······这些声音从你的嘴巴冒出来，其实是从喉咙里发出来的。

Feel your throat as you sing, talk, or hum. Your fingertips tingle because your vocal cordsshake to make sounds. They shake back and forth very fast. This is called vibrating. And that makes the air around them vibrate. These vibrations move through the air in wavescalled sound waves. Now, be quiet. Feel your throat. Your vocalcords are still. They're not vibrating, so there's no sound.

你唱歌，说话或哼出声音时，摸摸自己的喉咙。 你的手指会抖，因为你的声带在抖，这样才能发出声音。 它来回抖得很快。这叫做振动。它会使周围的空气也跟着振动。 这样的振动会形成声波，在空气中移动。 嘘，保持安静。摸摸你的喉咙，声带不抖了。没有振动，所以不会发出声音。

You can't see sound waves, but when they reach your ear, tiny bones in your ear vibrate. Then you hear the sound. Beating a drum makes it vibrate, and then the air around it vibrates. These vibrations ripple throughthe air. They travel from the drumto your ears, and you hear thesound of the drum.

你看不见声波，不过，当声波进入你的耳朵时，里面的小骨头会振动，你就能听见声音。 敲鼓会让鼓面振动，围绕在四周的空气也跟着振动，振动会一波波地穿越空气，钻进你的耳朵里，你就能听到鼓声了。

Long ago, people used drum sounds to sendmessages. They beat high sounds, low sounds, fast sounds, slow sounds. These sounds traveledthrough the air, from village to village. Differentdrumbeats sent different messages, such as Rain clouds are forming or A new leader has been chosen.

很久很久以前，人们用鼓声传递信息。 他们敲鼓的声音有高有低、有快有慢，这些声音通过空气，从一个乡村传到另一个乡村。 不同的鼓声代表不同的信息，比如:天空乌云密布或者选出了新领导。
