求大家给翻译几篇文章啊 谢谢 有高分奖励? 7、 paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. the invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge. 纸是人类发明中最重要的一种产品。如果没有廉价的特殊材料用于书写,书写语言广泛地普及使用是不可能的。纸的发明,意味着更多的人因为更多的书本可以印刷、分散而得到教育。与印刷机一起,纸为交流知识提供了一个重要途径。 how much paper do you use every year? probably you cannot answer that question quickly. in 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. countries like the united states, england and sweden use more paper than other countries. 每一天我们是用多少纸张呢?你可能不能很快回答这个问题。在19世纪,一个人一年使用大约1公斤。现在有些国家一个人一年使用约50公斤纸。美国、英国和瑞典,比其他国家使用了更多的纸。 paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in china. in egypt and the west, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. the egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. we have learnt of the most important facts of european history from records that were kept on parchment. 纸,象其他我们今天使用的东西一样,最早在中国发明。在14世纪以前,在埃及和西方,纸还没有普及使用。埃及人书写在一种水生植物作成的材料上。欧洲人使用了几百年的羊皮纸。羊皮纸很结实,是由一定物种的年幼动物皮革制成。从保存至今的羊皮纸记录的史实上,我们学到了很多的欧洲历史知识。查看更多
