clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers.

around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.

The Hindu-Arabic system
1. They used them to count things like the days of the
month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.
人们利用它们来数数,像每个月的天数,食物的数量还有他们所拥有的牲畜的数目。
amount 用作名词,意为“数量;总额”,通常用于a (great / large) amount of 短语中,表示“大量;许多”,其后通常接不可数名词。
例如: 他赚了很多钱。
He made a large amount of money.
Language points
注意the amount of 和the number of 的区别:
这两个短语都表示“……的数量”,其区别在于:前者与不可数名词连用,而后者与可数名词的复数形式连用。例如:
降雨量影响农作物的生长。
The amount of rain affects the growth of crops.
在过去的五十年里,老虎的数目锐减。
The number of tigers has reduced sharply in the last fifty years.
2. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily.
他们经常把代币悬在绳子上,这样他们可以轻松地四处携带它们。
【句型】
so that 引导目的状语从句时,意为“以便;为了”,
从句中常使用can,could,may 等情态动词。注意,so ... that ...引导的是结果状语从句,意为“如此……以至于……”,试比较:
为了赶上早班车,他今早很早就起床了。
He got up early this morning so that he could catch the early bus.
他今早起得太晚了,以至于错过了早班车。
He got up so late that he missed the early bus this morning.
3. ... and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9).
……然后这最终形成了阿拉伯数字系统。
lead to 可表示:
(1) (道路)等通往……。例如:条条道路通罗马。
All roads lead to Rome.
(2) 引起(结果等);导致。
常见搭配:lead to + n. / v.-ing。
那场大雨引起水灾。
The heavy rain led to a flood.
懒惰导致考试的失败。
Laziness leads to failing the exam.
注意以下搭配:
lead sb to some place 把某人带到某地
lead sb to do sth 带领某人做某事
