之前写的《搭积木》(链接见结尾)很受欢迎,应大家在评论中的要求,今天带来乐高专题,欢迎继续评论,告诉我们你想看的主题。

Child: Mommy, can we build my new Lego set?
宝宝:妈妈,咱们能搭我的新乐高套装吗?
不说build Lego,可以说build something with Legos,或者build something out of Legos。
Mom: Yes, that sounds like a great idea.
妈妈:行啊,好主意。
Let's open the box and pour out what's inside.
咱们打开盒子,把里面的东西倒出来。
Lego这个词可以泛指其他品牌的与乐高类似的玩具,注意L要大写。
Look, there are 3 bags full of Lego pieces.
看,里面有满满3袋乐高块。
And an instruction manual to show us how to put the police set together step by step.
还有说明书一步一步教咱们怎么拼警察套装。
说明书还可以叫instruction booklet,但不叫instruction book。
Child: Which one do we open first?
宝宝:咱们先打开哪个呢?
Mom: Let's look for the one with the number 1 on it.
妈妈:咱们找找哪个上面写着数字1。
Child: This one has 1 on it!

Okay, so let's open up the manual and find the first step.

Child: What are they?
宝宝:都有什么?

妈妈:两个灰色的底座、两个蓝色的矮方块、两个白色的矮方块、两个白色的高方块、两个黄色的薄片、两个黄色的不规则形状、一个黄色的长条、两个黄色的超长条,和一个白色的半圆。
