LESSON 47 A VISIT TO THE BLACKSMITH'S SHOP
第四十七课 参观Blacksmith的小店铺

Come, let us go to the smith's shop. What is he doing? He has a forge: he blows the fire with a great pair of bellows, to make the iron hot.
过来，让我们走进smith的店铺。他正在忙什么呢？他有一个铁匠铺：他用一双风箱吹火让铁烧的更红。
Now he takes it out with the tongs, and puts it upon the anvil. Now he beats it with a hammer. How hard he works! The sparks fly about; pretty bright sparks.
现在他用铁钳把铁拿出来放在了铁板上。现在他用锤子锤打铁。工作很辛苦，火花四射相当明亮。

What is the blacksmith making? He is making nails, and horse-shoes, and a great many things.
Blacksmith正在制作什么呢？他在做钉子，马掌，还有好多其他的东西。
What are nails and horse-shoes made of? They are made of iron. Iron is of great use to us. It is used to make ploughs, wheels, ships, steam-engines, and all kinds of things. We could not do without iron.
钉子和马掌是由什么制成的呢？是铁，铁对我们来说用途很大。被用来做犁子，轮子，船，蒸汽机还有其他的很多东西。我们离不开铁。
Steel is made of iron. Steel is very bright, and sharp, and hard. Knives and scissors are made of steel.
钢是由铁制成的。钢很亮，很尖，很硬。刀片和剪刀都是由钢制成的。
