算盤(abacus)是中國傳統的計算工具，也是中國古代的一項重大發明。阿拉伯數字出現以前，算盤在世界各地廣泛使用。算盤是矩形的木框，木框上固定着帶算珠的木杆。木框中間的橫樑(beam)將木杆分成兩部分：木杆上方的兩顆算珠 (counting beads)每個代表5,下方的五顆算珠每個代表1。隨着算盤的應用，人們總結出很多計算技巧，提高了計算速度。由於算盤易於製造，而且計算口訣易於記憶和操作，因此算盤在中國十分流行。

　　參考譯文：

As a traditional Chinese calculation tool and an important ancient Chinese invention,the abacus was widely used before the invention of Arabic numerals in the world. The abacus is a rectangle with a wooden frame. Within the frame,rods with stringed beads are fixed. The beam in the middle of the frame divides each rod into two parts. The two counting beads in the upper part of each rod represent five and the rest five beads in the lower part represent one. With the application of the abacus, people summarized many calculation tips to help improve the speed of calculation. As the abacus is simple to produce, and its calculation tips are easy to memorize and operate, it is quite popular in China.
