各位同学好！来，首先我们揉土，让湿度均匀一些，等会儿在拉胚机上才不容易歪斜。我们先把这块泥放在拉胚器的正中间，双手沾水，这样能起润滑的作用。手势只要稳定不晃动，随着转盘的转动，马上就能变成正圆形了。

去的尽管去了，来的尽管来着；去来的中间，又怎样地匆匆呢？早上我起来的时候，小屋里射进两三方斜斜的太阳。太阳他有脚啊，轻轻悄悄地挪移了；我也茫茫然跟着旋转。于是——洗手的时候，日子从水盆里过去；吃饭的时候，日子从饭碗里过去；默默时，便从凝然的双眼前过去。

And, without knowing it, I am already caught in its revolution .Thus the day flows away through the sink when I wash my hands; vanishes in the rice bowl when I have my meal; passes away quietly before the fixed gaze of my eyes when I am lost in reverie
