Paper Making written by John Lockyer

约翰·洛克耶写的《造纸

We can find paper in lots of places. Look around you. Can you see something made from paper? What are some other things that are made from paper? Paper is easy to make. We can use old paper to make new paper.

我们可以在很多地方找到纸。 看看你的周围。你能看到纸做的东西吗? 还有哪些东西是用纸做成的? 纸很容易制造。我们可以用旧纸制造新纸。

To make your own paper you will need: old pieces of paper, scissors, a bowl, some water, a whisk, a splatter screen, (used to cover a frying pan) a tray. Set everything out so you can get it when you need it.

要自己做纸，你需要:一些旧纸，剪刀，一个碗，一些水，一个打蛋器，一个防溅屏，(用来盖煎锅的)一个托盘。 把所有的东西都准备好，这样当你需要的时候就能得到。

First Steps: 1. Rip or use scissors to cut the paper into small pieces. 2. Place the paper in a bowl. 3. Put some water in with the paper. 4. Leave the paper in the water until it turns very soft.

第一步:1;撕开或用剪刀把纸剪成小块。 2. 把纸放在碗里。 3.用纸放一些水进去。 4. 把纸放在水里，直到它变软。

Second Steps: 5. When the paper is very soft, whisk it together. 6. Keep whisking until the paper looks and feels mushy. Mushy paper is called pulp. 7. Next, place the splatter screen on the tray. 8. use your hands or a spoon to get some pulp from the bowl. 9. Put the pulp all over the splatter screen.

第二步:当纸变软时，把它们搅拌在一起。 6. 继续搅拌，直到纸张看起来和摸起来都是糊状。 糊状的纸叫做纸浆。 7. 接下来，将防溅屏放在托盘上。 8. 用你的手或勺子从碗里舀出一些果肉。 9. 把纸浆弄得到处都是。

Third Steps: 10. use your hands or the spoon again to push the water out of the pulp. 11. Keep pushing the pulp until the water stops dripping into the tray. 12. Tip the water out of the tray and dry the tray. 13. Now turn the screen and the paper over and onto the tray. The new paper will drop off the screen in one piece.

第三步:10。再次用手或勺子把水从果肉中挤出来。 11. 继续推动纸浆，直到水停止滴入托盘。 12. 把盘子里的水倒掉，擦干盘子。 13. 现在把屏幕和纸翻过来放到托盘上。 这张新纸会完整地从屏幕上掉下来。
