We usually use two kinds of money . One kind is money made of paper and the other kind is money made of metal . But in the past people used many things instead of money . Some countries used salt , tea or stones (石头). Other countries even used some animals . Today people in some places in the world still do not use paper money all the time .
我们通常使用两种钱币。一种钱币是纸质的,另一种是用金属制的。但是在过去,人们用很多东西代替钱币。一些国家用盐,茶或者石头。另一些国家甚至用一些动物作钱币。今天,人们在这个世上的一些地方并不是一直用纸币。
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 come from this island . The Yap men have to go to the islands over 600 kilometres away to get them.
在Yap这个岛上,人们使用着世界上最重的钱币——Yap的石头。它们外形圆圆的,是白色的,有一个洞在中间。这种Yap石头并不是来自于这个岛上。Yap上的人必须到距岛超过600公里的岛上去取到它们。
Rich people do not carry Yap stones . Servants (仆人)follow the rich . Each servant carries a stone on a long stick over his shoulder (肩) . Today people on the island of Yap use paper money for everyday shopping . But for other things they still prefer Yap stones to paper money .
富裕的人们并不一直携带着Yap的石头。有仆人跟着这些富人。每一个仆人在肩上扛着长棍来携带石头。今天Yap岛上的人们用纸币来购买日常所需的东西。但是,对于其他的东西,他们还是喜欢用Yap的石头超过喜欢纸币。
这是考察it做形式主语的用法。
真正的主语是后面的that从句,也就是括号中的部分:
It's crucial (that I study for it) because it makes up 30% of the final exam.
后面的because是原因状语从句。
翻译:
我学习它非常重要,因为它占到了终考的30%。
