Make a Drum

做??? 鼓

You and your friend can each make a drum and drumsticks. Your drum can be simple or fancy. It's up to you.

你和你的朋友可以一人做一面鼓和一對(duì)鼓槌。至于做得簡(jiǎn)單還是別致，全在你個(gè)人。

The most important thing you need to make a drum is a box with a lid. The box should be round and made from cardboard. An empty oatmeal box works well. The box will vibrate, or shake, like a drum.

做一面鼓最重要的是你必須有一個(gè)帶蓋子的盒子。這個(gè)盒子必須是圓的，而且是由硬紙板做的。一個(gè)空的燕麥片盒子就是不錯(cuò)的選擇。這個(gè)盒子還必須能像鼓一樣振動(dòng)。

You will also need these thing:

除此之外，你還需要下列材料：

1. Two new, unsharpened pencils

1. 兩個(gè)新的沒(méi)有削過(guò)的鉛筆

2. Aluminum foil

2. 鋁箔

3. Tempera paint and a small paintbrush

3. 蛋彩畫(huà)顏料和小的畫(huà)筆

4. Colored construction paper

4. 彩色美術(shù)紙

5. Glitter, or other shiny things

5. 小發(fā)光物或其它明亮的小東西

6. Glue

6. 膠水

7. Heavy cord or string

7. 粗線或細(xì)線

8. Art apron or old shirt

8. 圍裙或舊襯衫

9. Old newspapers

9. 舊報(bào)紙

Make the drumsticks first. Wrap each pencil in foil. Put the drumsticks away until you have finished making your drum.

先做鼓槌。把兩支鉛筆用鋁箔紙包起來(lái)，鼓槌就做好了。然后，把鼓槌放在一邊，再做你的鼓。

Put on your apron. Spread old newspaper on your worktable. Now you are ready to decorate your drum.

圍上圍裙，把舊報(bào)紙鋪在工作臺(tái)上，接下來(lái)就準(zhǔn)備做鼓了。

First, paint the outside of the box but not the lid. Let the box dry.

首先，用顏料涂盒子的外部，但不涂蓋子。然后，晾干盒子。

Next, cut out a round piece of colored paper to cover the box lid. Glue the paper to the lid. Cut out extra pieces of colored paper to decorate the sides. Glue the pieces to the sides of the drum. You may want to glue glitter or other shiny objects on your drum, too.

接下來(lái)，從彩色紙上剪出一塊圓形蓋在紙盒的蓋子上，用膠水把彩紙與蓋子粘在一起。再剪出幾片彩紙用來(lái)裝飾盒子的側(cè)面，并把它們粘在盒子的側(cè)面。這時(shí)，你也可以用膠水把小發(fā)光物和明亮的小物品粘到鼓上。

Now you need to make a cord for your drum. The cord lets you hang the drum around your neck while you use your drumsticks. Hold one end of the cord at your waist. Pull the other end around your neck. Let it fall to your waist again. Cut the cord.

現(xiàn)在你需要為你的鼓做一根繩，以便你敲鼓的時(shí)候可以把鼓掛在脖子上。把繩子的一端系在腰上，把另一端繞在脖子上，讓它自然下垂到腰際，剪斷繩子。

Ask an adult to help you punch one hole on each side of your box. The holes should be about one inch below the lid. Thread the cord through one hole. Tie two knots in the cord outside the hole. Thread the other end of the cord through the second hole. Tie two knots in the cord.

請(qǐng)一位成年人幫你在盒子的兩側(cè)各打一個(gè)小孔?？椎奈恢脩?yīng)該在蓋子下1寸左右的位置。把線穿過(guò)一個(gè)小孔，在小孔外面打兩個(gè)結(jié)，把線的另一頭穿過(guò)第二個(gè)小孔，也在線上打兩個(gè)結(jié)。

Now the drum is ready. Hang the drum around your neck. Use your drumsticks to practice drumming. You may form a small band with your friends if you wish.

這時(shí)鼓就做好了。把鼓掛在你的脖上，用你的鼓槌擊鼓。如果你愿意，你也可以和你的朋友組建一個(gè)小樂(lè)隊(duì)。
