Number sequences

  1. Dengdeng

    亮亮(liàngliàng)，这些(zhèxiē)数字(shùzì)有(yǒu)一个(yīgè)序列(xùliè)，你(nǐ)看出来(kànchūlái)了(le)吗(ma)？

    Liangliang, these numbers form a sequence. Can you see it?

  2. Liangliang

    二(èr)、四(sì)、八(bā)、十六(shíliù)……下一个(xiàyīge)是(shì)三十二(sānshíèr)！

    Two, four, eight, sixteen... the next is thirty-two!

  3. Dengdeng

    对(duì)！这个(zhège)序列(xùliè)的(de)规则(guīzé)是(shì)每次(měicì)乘(chéng)二(èr)。

    Right! The rule of this sequence is to multiply by two each time.

  4. Liangliang

    那(nà)这个(zhège)序列(xùliè)呢(ne)：一(yī)、一(yī)、二(èr)、三(sān)、五(wǔ)？

    Then what about this sequence: one, one, two, three, five?

  5. Dengdeng

    下一个(xiàyīge)是(shì)八(bā)。每个(měigè)数(shù)是(shì)前(qián)两个(liǎnggè)数(shù)的(de)和(hé)。

    The next is eight. Each number is the sum of the two before it.

  6. Liangliang

    我(wǒ)只(zhǐ)喜欢(xǐhuan)这个(zhège)序列(xùliè)：早饭(zǎofàn)、午饭(wǔfàn)、晚饭(wǎnfàn)。

    I only like this sequence: breakfast, lunch, dinner.
