去年暑假，我去九寨沟旅游。看见了许多藏族人手里拿着像拨浪鼓一样的东西。经过多方打听，我知道这个东西叫转经筒。我很喜欢，就买了一个。
Last summer vacation, I went to Jiuzhaigou for a tour. I saw many Tibetans holding something like a rattle in their hands. After many inquiries, I know this thing is called a warping tube. I like it very much, so I bought one.
转经筒是西藏僧人念经用的。它的顶上有个尖尖的东西，旁边有四颗塑料块做的，还挺逼真的呢！塑料宝石旁边有几个我认不出来的文字，不管我怎么想也想不出来。在塑料宝石和认不出来字的中间，有一条一拃长的铁链子，铁链子的一头在转经筒里面，另一头上有一个水滴似的东西，转起来飞快。转经筒的颜色大部分是黄色和棕色，除了以上两色外，还有少量的红、绿、紫色。
The Sutra tube is used by Tibetan monks to chant sutras. There is a sharp thing on the top of it. There are four plastic blocks beside it. It"s very lifelike! There are several words beside the plastic gem that I can"t recognize, no matter how I think about them. In the middle of the plastic gem and the unrecognizable words, there is a long iron chain. One end of the iron chain is in the warping cylinder, and the other end has something like a water drop. It turns fast. Most of the colors of the warping tube are yellow and brown. In addition to the above two colors, there are a small amount of red, green and purple.
我喜欢转经筒，喜欢它那逼真的假宝石；喜欢它那认不出来的文字；喜欢它那尖尖的顶儿。摇动着它，就觉得自己仿佛置身于西藏那片古老神奇的土地上。
I like the warping cylinder, its lifelike fake gem, its unrecognizable writing, its pointed top. Shaking it, I feel as if I am in the ancient and magical land of Tibet.
