Hello, I've come along to tell you about an invention of mine called the Party Popper Machine.
你們好，我來(lái)這里是想告訴你們我的一項(xiàng)新發(fā)明，叫
Here is a diagram of the machine and I'll just explain how it works.
這是機(jī)器的圖紙，我會(huì)解釋其工作原理。
It's basically a set of interconnected cogs and wheels that rotate in turn and cause a party popper to pop!
基本上這就是一組相互連接的齒輪和輪子，循環(huán)旋轉(zhuǎn)，讓派對(duì)禮花爆炸。
The process begins with what I like to call the party starter! It's located on the top of the base at the front.
整個(gè)過(guò)程開(kāi)始于我想命名為“派對(duì)前菜”的裝置，它在基座頂端前方。
I was very fond of wind-up toys when I was young, but sadly I couldn't find a way to attach a winder to this contraption, but I think this big round button looks nice and dramatic and my children fight over getting to push it!
我還小的時(shí)候，非常迷戀發(fā)條玩具，但令人傷心的是，我找不到任何方法能把上發(fā)條的鑰匙裝到這個(gè)精美的裝置上，但我認(rèn)為這個(gè)巨大的圓形按鈕看起來(lái)也不錯(cuò)，富有戲劇性，我的孩子們搶著去按下它!
The button activates a mall motor that's housed directly under the box at the front.
這個(gè)按鈕會(huì)激活一個(gè)小馬達(dá)，其正位于前面這個(gè)盒子的底下。
It generates enough power to get everything going but not so much that it overheats and needs a cooling fan!
這能產(chǎn)生足夠的能量完成任務(wù)，但不至于太過(guò)分使其過(guò)熱，需要散熱風(fēng)扇。
The legs elevate the base and help with that.
這些支架會(huì)升起基座，幫助前面環(huán)節(jié)的運(yùn)行。
The base also has another use as it can also hold up to 10 spare party poppers, so you never need to worry about running out.
基座還有另一個(gè)用處，它能容納10個(gè)備用派對(duì)禮花，所以你永遠(yuǎn)不用擔(dān)心會(huì)用光。
Once the motor is running, it turns the spiky wheel that is attached to the loaded party popper.
一旦馬達(dá)開(kāi)始工作，它會(huì)帶動(dòng)裝有大釘?shù)妮喿?，和裝好的派對(duì)禮花相連。
I call this the detonator!
我稱之為“引爆器”。
As it turns, the string of the party popper slowly wraps around it and is pulled tighter and tighter until it explodes! So much fun!
在輪子旋轉(zhuǎn)時(shí)，派對(duì)禮花的線會(huì)緩慢纏繞上去，拉得越來(lái)越緊，最后爆炸!多么有趣啊!
