When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today. But in the past people used many things in place of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco, tea or stones. Today there are still some places in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean.
当我们想到钱时,我们想到的硬币和纸币.这就是今天的金钱.但在过去人们用很多物品代替钱.一些国家使用牛.其他国家使用的盐,烟草,茶或石头.今天在世界上仍然有一些地方不使用纸币.有一个地方是太平洋上的雅浦岛的一个地方.
On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world —Yap stones. These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. The Yap stones do not originate from the land. The Yap men have to go to the islands four hundred miles away to fetch them.Big stones can be twelve feet high —as big as two tall men. Small stones are as big as a dinner plate.
在雅浦岛上,人们使用在世界上最重的钱-雅浦石.这些是圆形,白色的石头,中间有个洞.雅浦石不源于土地.雅浦人必须前往四百英里远的地方去获取它们.大石头有十二英尺高相当于高高的男人的两倍.小石子也大如餐盘.
Rich people do not carry the Yap Stones. Servants follow the rich. Each servant carries a stone on a pole over his shoulder. Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still prefer Yap stones.
有钱的人不把雅浦石带在身上.仆人们跟着有钱人把石头上扛在他的肩上.如今这个岛上的人们每天都用纸币购物.但在其他方面,他们还是喜欢雅浦石.有没有相关的任务型阅读？啊 没有好吧，没事，谢了
