Instead, they were mined on the Palau Islands, 460 km away from Yap.
대신그것들은Yap 섬에서460킬로미터떨어진Palau 섬에서채굴되었다.
Because Yap islanders used narrow boats, the stones often fell overboard and got lost in the sea.
Yap 섬사람들이좁은배를사용했기때문에그돌은종종배밖으로떨어졌고바다속으로유실되었다.
What is interesting is that even when rai fell into the sea, people agreed that the incident didn't change either the value of the stone or its owner's ownership.
The average speed that money circulated increased by fourteen times, which consequently revived the economy of the town.
돈이순환하는평균속도는14배증가했고, 그것은결과적으로마을의경제를되살렸다.
In less than two years, Wörgl became the first town in Austria to reach full employment.
2년이채되지않아Wörgl은오스트리아에서완전고용을이룬첫번째도시가되었다.
The experiment in the small town of Wörgl might suggest that money, as the medium of exchange, should be circulated appropriately, and that its smooth flow helps to vitalize the economy.
If someone asked you whether 25 dollars was a little or a lot of money, what would you say?
누군가가25달러가적은돈인지큰돈인지당신에게묻는다면무엇이라고말하겠는가?
To answer this question, imagine what you could do with 25 dollars.
이질문에답하기위해당신이25달러를가지고무엇을할수있는지상상해보아라.
For example, you and your friends could watch a movie.
예를들어당신과당신의친구들은영화를한편볼수있을것이다.
However, do you know that the same amount of money that you spend on simple entertainment could be used completely differently for people on the other side of the planet?
After retiring from the police force, Steve and Anna Tolan moved to Zambia and set up a charitable organization that provides conservation education programs for children.
Steve Tolan과Anna Tolan 부부는경찰직에서은퇴한후잠비아로이주했고어린이에게자연보호교육프로그램을제공하는자선단체를설립했다.
Since it is a nonprofit organization, they rely on financial donations to keep the organization running.
이단체는비영리단체이기때문에그들은단체를계속운영하기위해재정적후원에의존한다.
With 25 dollars, the Tolans could pay for one of the following:
25달러로Tolan 부부는다음중한가지를지불할수있다.
• a full school uniform for a student
• 학생한명의교복한벌
• two 25 kilogram bags of corn (the staple food), which is enough to feed a family of six for a month
• 6인가족이한달동안먹기에충분한25킬로그램짜리옥수수(주식) 두포대
• two good quality blankets (most children in Zambia don't have one)
• 품질좋은담요두장(잠비아의어린이대부분은그것을가지지못함)
• four mosquito nets to help prevent malaria
• 말라리아를예방하는데에도움이되는모기장네개
Isn't that amazing?
놀랍지않은가?
That's possible because the value of money is relative, just as Gulliver is little in the land of giants and huge in the land of tiny people.
그것은걸리버가거인국에서는작고소인국에서는거대한것처럼돈의가치가상대적이기때문에가능하다.
The same amount of money may have different meanings to different people.
같은액수의돈도다른사람들에게는다른의미를가질수있다.
Therefore, take some time and think about how to spend your money more meaningfully.
