记账英语说 "bookkeeping"。这个词来源于古英语中的 "boc" 和 "keeping"，"boc" 指书，"keeping" 指保存、记录。因此，"bookkeeping" 原意指记录在书里的信息，后来演变为现在常用的记账的意思。

例句：

The accountant is responsible for the bookkeeping of the company. (会计负责公司的记账。)

I need to update the bookkeeping records. (我需要更新记账记录。)

It's important to keep accurate bookkeeping records. (保持准确的记账记录是很重要的。)
