◆This diagram illustrates the process of paper-making./This diagram shows how paper is made.这个图说明了造纸的过程。
◆First / First of all, logs are delivered to a paper mill, where the bark is removed and the wood is cut into small chips.首先，原木被运送到造纸厂，在那里去掉树皮，然后被切成木片。
◆Next / Second, the wood chips are pulped, either using chemicals or in a pulping machine.接下来，用化学品或磨浆机把木片化成浆。
◆Pulping breaks down the internal structure of the wood and enables / allows the natural oils to be removed.制浆过程使木材的内部结构分解，从而去除木材里的天然油。
◆Once / After the wood has been pulped, the pulp is bleached in order to remove impurities. /…is bleached so that impurities can be removed.木材制成浆后，将其漂白以去除杂质。
◆The next stage is to feed the pulp into the paper machine, where it is mixed with water and then poured onto a wire conveyor belt.下一步便是将纸浆送入制纸机，与水混合后再倒入金属传送带。
◆As the pulp travels along the conveyor belt, the water drains away. This causes the solid material to sink to the bottom, forming a layer of paper.当纸浆沿传送带传送时，水分蒸发，使得固体物质沉到底部，形成一层纸。
◆At this point the new paper is still wet, so it is passed between large heated rollers, which press out the remaining water and simultaneously dry the paper/…dry the paper at the same time.这时，新出的纸仍然是湿的，故让其经过几个巨大的热滚筒，挤压脱水并同时烘干。
◆The final stage is to wind the paper onto large rolls./ Finally, the paper is wound onto large rolls.最后一步是将纸卷在巨大的卷轴上。
