我们来做图形吧。 文字与插画：凯瑟琳·库普曼

A line connects two points. A line is longer than it is wide. Lines can be short and lines can be long. Lines can be straight and lines can be curved.

一条线连接两个点。 线的长度大于它的宽度。 线可以很短，也可以很长。 线可以是直的，也可以是弯的。

You can bend lines to make a shape. You can join straight lines together to make a shape. You can join curved lines together to make a shape.

你可以把线弯折成一个图形。 你可以把直线拼接起来做成一个图形。 你可以把曲线拼接起来做成一个图形。

There are many kinds of shapes. Circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles are geometric shapes. We can use geometric shapes to draw many things.

图形的种类有很多。 圆形、正方形、长方形和三角形都属于几何图形。 我们可以用几何图形画出好多东西。

When a line goes all the way around, it makes a circle. You can use a circle, three small circles, and a curved line to make a face.

当一条线首尾相接围成一圈，就得到了一个圆形。 你可以用一个圆形、三个小圆形， 再加上一条曲线，画出一张小脸。

On another piece of paper, draw a circle. Then make it a mouse with eyes, ears, and whiskers. Use lines and more circles.

拿出另一张纸，画一个圆形。 然后给它加上眼睛、耳朵和胡须，把它变成一只小老鼠。 要用到线条和更多的圆形哦。
