본문내용

A. About 9,500 years ago, ancient accountants in Sumer invented a way to keep track of farmers’ crops and livestock. They began using small pieces of baked clay, almost like the tokens used in board games today. One piece might signify a measure of grain, while another with a different shape might represent a farm animal or a jar of olive oil.

A. 약 9,500년 전에 수메르의 고대 회계사들은 농부의 농작물과 가축을 추적하는 방법을 발명했습니다. 그들은 오늘날 보드 게임에서 사용되는 토큰과 거의 같은 작은 구운 점토 조각을 사용하기 시작했습니다. 한 조각은 곡물을 의미할 수 있고 다른 모양은 농장 동물이나 올리브 오일 한 병을 나타낼 수 있습니다.

B. Those little ceramic shapes might not seem to have much in common with today’s $100 bill—or with the credit cards and online transactions that are rapidly taking the place of cash—but the roots of our modern methods of payment lie in those Sumerian tokens.
