Europeans are constantly credited with inventions already done by other civilizations. It''s so frustrating that the history books haven''t been re-written to at least give some credit to innovators who came before.

歐洲人總是把他其文明已經(jīng)的擁有的發(fā)明記入自己賬上。 令人沮喪的是，歷史書還沒有重新編寫，沒有頒給以前的創(chuàng)新者一些起碼的贊譽(yù)。

問題是，印刷技術(shù)遠(yuǎn)在韓國(guó)文字出現(xiàn)之前就已經(jīng)發(fā)明了，韓國(guó)人總是偷別人的東西
