粮食多了，阿禾替粮仓想办法。怎样让不在场的人读懂记录？With more grain to count, Ahe helps a storehouse. How can a message reach someone who is absent?
第 1 步：图画不一定是文字Step 1: Pictures are not always writing
画一头羊，可以提示羊这种东西。A sheep picture can suggest an animal.
文字还要按约定记录语言。语言能表达名字、动作和关系。图案看起来复杂，不代表已经是文字。Writing records language through shared conventions. Language can express names, actions and relationships. A complex-looking pattern is not automatically a writing system.
第 2 步：声音也能变成符号Step 2: Signs can represent sounds
泥板早期常用于管理记录。Early tablets often served administration.
符号后来也可表示声音。这样能写更多词和句子。楔形文字曾记录多种语言。文字系统与语言不是同一个概念。Signs also came to represent sounds, expanding what could be written. Cuneiform was adapted for several languages. A script is a system of signs; it is not identical to the language recorded with those signs.
第 3 步：没有唯一的出发点Step 3: More than one beginning
世界不同地区出现过文字传统。Writing traditions arose in different parts of the world.
它们的起源与传播并非完全相同。阿禾标清年代范围，不编造唯一发明者。新发现还可能修改最早证据。Their origins and connections were not identical. Ahe records date ranges rather than inventing one universal inventor. New discoveries can change which surviving evidence is considered earliest.
🎮 把账目变成可读记录🎮 Make a readable record
把四张过程卡按本页示意顺序排列。点击上移、下移，再检查。它是教学模型，并非所有地区的唯一路径。Arrange four process cards in the illustrated order using the up and down buttons, then check. This is a teaching model, not the only path in every community.
一句话记住它：文字按约定记录语言。Remember: Writing records language conventionally.
文字按约定记录语言。Writing records language conventionally.同一文字可记录不同语言。One script can record several languages.最早证据不等于唯一发明时刻。Earliest evidence is not an exact invention date.
