长释义：
Before money was invented, people traded goods and services in order to acquire the things they needed. An individual might trade, for example, a cow in exchange for help building a shed, or a dozen eggs in exchange for several yards of cloth. To this day people continue to barter for goods and services although this method of commerce is no longer widespread. The verb barter has survived into modern times to refer to making a transaction that involves the exchange of goods or services rather than money.
在发明货币之前，人们通过交易商品和服务来获得所需的东西。例如，一个人可能会用一头母牛换取建造棚屋的帮助，或者用一打鸡蛋换取几码布。时至今日，人们仍在继续以物易物交换商品和服务，尽管这种商业方式已不再普遍。动词易货交易一直存在到现代，指的是进行涉及商品或服务而不是金钱交换的交易。

词源：
barter (v.)"to traffic or trade by exchanging one commodity for another," mid-15c., apparently from Old French barater "to barter, cheat, deceive, haggle" (also, "to have sexual intercourse"), 12c., which is of uncertain origin, perhaps from a Celtic language (compare Irish brath "treachery"). The connection between "trading" and "cheating" exists in several languages. Related: Bartered; bartering.As a noun, "act of exchanging, commerce by exchange of commodities" (rather than buying and selling for money), 1590s, from the verb.
