  Early books were all scrolls.
  早期的书都是卷轴
• 
  
  So if you had a book as long as the Gospel of Matthew,
  如果你有本书和马太福音一样长
• 
  
  it'd take up a pretty thick scroll.
  那卷起来会很厚
• 
  
  Now, what happens if you want to read not the whole book of Matthew,
  如果你们不想读整卷马太福音
• 
  
  but you just want to read Matthew 13:13?
  而只需要看13章13节呢
• 
  
  Well, you have to unroll your scroll, and unroll,
  你得展开卷轴 拉啊拉
• 
  
  roll, roll, roll,roll, roll, roll,
  拉啊拉啊拉啊
• 
  
  You have to find the place, then, roll it all back up.
  然后找到那个地方 再卷回去
• 
  
  And what happens if you want to move back and forth
  如果要在一大堆不同的书信里找来找去
• 
  
  between a bunch of different letters?
  又要怎样呢
• 
  
  Well, you have to unroll different scrolls.
  你要展开不同的卷轴
