3.還有一題講活版印刷，說最先是德國的Gutenberg等人發明瞭，它劃分了中世紀甚麼的
，有一道指代題，this指代甚麼。而且還是一個倒裝句，To this was added XXX. 前一
句有個單詞是VELLUM，是牛皮紙的意思，我覺得也只有這個符合邏輯了，還有幾個單詞也
不認識，都是活版印刷的技術。

這題this 考試時看不大懂 也忘了原題是什麼了

只記得有這幾個字 parchment, vellum, calf skin, ?

One sort of parchment is vellum, a word that is used loosely to mean
parchment, and especially to mean fine parchment, but more strictly refers to
parchment made from calf skin (although goat skin can be as fine in quality).
The words "vellum" and "veal" come from Latin vitulus, "calf", or its
diminutive vitellus. In the Middle Ages calfskin and split sheepskin were the
most common materials for making parchment in England and France, while
goatskin was more common in Italy.
