量贝壳 = ukur cangkerang 贝壳的左端已经对准 0。看右端：先找经过的最后一个数字，再往右数小格，每格 1 mm，两者相加就是长度。 例子：右端停在 10 后面第 7 小格，读数是 17 mm。 注意：右端如果刚好在长线上，就不用再数小格。

measuring a shell = ukur cangkerang The left end of the shell is already on zero. Look at the right end: find the last number it passes, then count the small spaces to the right, 1 mm each, and add the two together to get the length. Example: 7 spaces after 10 reads 17 mm. Watch out: if the end lands exactly on a long line, there are no extra spaces to count.

量小豆子 = ukur biji kacang 很小的东西也一样量：一端对准 0，另一端先看过了哪一个数字，再数后面的小格。中等长度的线表示 5，数到它的时候可以直接从 5 继续往下数。 例子：过了 20 再走 5 小格，读数是 25 mm。 注意：过了数字 10 就要从 10 开始加。

measuring a small seed = ukur biji kacang Tiny objects are measured the same way: one end on zero, then see which number the other end has passed and count the small spaces after it. The medium line marks 5, so you can carry on counting from there. Example: 5 spaces past 20 reads 25 mm. Watch out: once the end passes the number 10, start adding from ten.

cm 数字的尺 = pembaris bernombor cm 尺上印的是厘米数字，每个数字代表十毫米。先把叶子经过的最后一个数字乘十，变成毫米，再加上后面的小格数。 例子：过了数字 4 再走 9 小格，是 40 mm 加 9 mm，等于 49 mm。 注意：长度要用毫米表示，数字要记得乘十。

a centimetre-numbered ruler = pembaris bernombor cm The ruler prints centimetre numbers, and each one stands for ten millimetres. Multiply the last number the leaf passes by ten to get millimetres, then add the small spaces after it. Example: 9 spaces past the number 4 is 40 mm and 9 mm, which is 49 mm. Watch out: the length must be given in millimetres, so remember to multiply the number by ten.

起点 = titik mula 量长度时，我们希望另一端的读数刚好就是物件的长度，不必再加或再减。想一想：尺子上哪一个读数表示“还没有任何长度”？物件的一端放在那里，另一端的读数才会等于它的长度。 例子：读另一端时，要看端点对着哪一条刻度线，而不是看数字印在哪里。 注意：起点的位置决定读数准不准，量以前先检查一次。

starting point = titik mula When measuring, we want the reading at the other end to be the length itself, with nothing to add or take away. Think: which reading on a ruler means there is no length yet? Put one end of the object there, and the reading at the other end will equal its length. Example: when reading the far end, look at which line the end touches, not at where the number is printed. Watch out: where you start decides whether the reading is right, so check it before you read.
