Have you ever wanted to know how paper is made? Paper is often made with machines in big mills. But you can make your own paper at home or school. You just need a few supplies and some help from an adult.

你有没有想过纸是怎么造出来的呀？ 纸通常都是在大工厂里用机器制造的。 不过你在家或者学校也能自己造纸哦。 你只需要准备几样材料，再找一位大人帮忙就可以啦。

Here are the supplies you will need. One, newspaper. Two, sponge. Three, wire hanger. Four, old paper, cards, magazines, newspaper, paper bags, etc. Five, old pair of pantyhose. Six, flat pan, 9 inches by 13 inches. Seven, two pieces of felt. Eight, scissors. Nine, blender. Ten, water.

下面是你需要准备的材料： 第一，报纸。 第二，海绵。 第三，铁丝衣架。 第四，旧纸张、卡片、杂志、 报纸、纸袋等等。 第五，旧连裤袜一双。 第六，平底盘，尺寸为9英寸×13英寸。 第七，毛毡两块。 第八，剪刀。 第九，搅拌机。 第十，水。

The first step to making paper is to find old paper. Rip the paper into small pieces. Rip enough paper to fill one cup.

造纸的第一步是收集旧纸张。 把纸张撕成小碎片。 撕够装满1杯的碎纸量就可以啦。

Second, put all the paper pieces in a blender. Pour three cups of warm water into the blender. Blend the paper and water on high for 10 seconds.

第二步，把所有碎纸片放进搅拌机里。 往搅拌机里倒入三杯温水。 开高档将纸和水搅拌10秒钟。

The paper and water will turn into pulp. The pulp should look like thick soup.

纸和水会变成纸浆。 纸浆的状态看起来要像浓粥一样。
