求 英语阅读 中文的翻译 感激···
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.
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.
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.
麻烦咯
哥们,我来试试吧:
我们一想到钱,就会想起硬币和纸币.这就是钱现在的样子.但是在过去,人们用很多东西来作为钱的替代品.许多国家采用奶牛.其他的一些国家用过盐,烟草,或者是石头.现在世界上仍有一些地方不采用纸币.一个地方就是太平洋的雅浦岛,在这个岛屿上,人们采用世界上最沉的钱币——雅浦石.这种石头是一些中间带孔的圆圆的白色石头,它们并不起源于本地.雅浦人必须前往400英里的地方来寻取它们.比较大的石头有12英尺那么高——和两个高个男士一样高.小点的石头也像一个吃晚餐的盘子一样大.富人自己不搬运雅浦石,仆人们跟着一同前往,每个仆人都将石头用木杆担在他们的肩膀上.如今这个岛上的人们每天都用纸币购物,但是对于其它的一些物品,他们仍然更喜欢采用雅浦石.
