总之，这三个词，有很深的渊源关系。
Assets、Liabilities
这三个词分别是资产、负债和所有者权益，是会计等式的三个要素。
Assets 这个词表示资产时一定要用复数形式，即词尾要有 “s”。如果不用复数形式，就成为“宝物，天赋、技能”的意思。例如：
1、 Assets are properties that are owned and have monetary values;for instance，cash，inventory，buildings，equipment。
资产是指企业所拥有的'、具有货币价值的财产，如现金、存货、建筑物、设备。

资本是企业所有者的利益，也称为业主权益。
3、 Owner's equity include owner “s investment in a business and accumulated operating results since the beginning of the operation。

上述会计要素相互之间的关系用一个简单的数学公式来表示，就是
Assets=Liabilities+Owner's equity
资产=负债+业主权益
Ledgers 和 Journals
Ledgers 在簿记上是分类帐的意思，可以和其他词汇搭配，构成许多会计词汇。如ledger accounts（分类帐户）、general ledger（总分类帐）、subsidiary ledger（明细分类帐）等。例如：
1、 Ledger accounts are used to record business transactions' effect on an accounting entity。
分类帐户被用来记录交易对会计主体的影响。
2、 A ledger account is simply a record of changes （increase and decrease）and balances in value of a specific accounting item。

4、 Further simplification of the general ledger is brought about by the use of subsidiary ledger。
使用明细分类帐使总分类帐更加简化明了。
5、 The advantages of subsidiary ledger are as following：（1）reduces ledger detail ;（2）permits better division of labor;（3）permits a different sequence of accounts;（4）permits better internal control。
明细分类帐的优点如下;（1）减少分类帐的细节;（2）使劳动分工更合理;（3）允许不同的帐户排序（4）便于更好地内部控制。
Journal 比较常用的意思是“日记、日志;杂志、刊物”，如keep a journal （记日志）、a ship's journal （航海日志），a monthly journal （月刊），单词 diary 也有“日记”的意思，但journal 比 diary 更强调“正式记录”。Journal 在会计词汇上的意思是“日记帐”。例如：
1、 In a western accounting system ，the information about each business transaction is initially recorded in an accounting record called a Journal。
在西方会计体系中，有关每笔经济交易的资料最初是记在一本叫做“日记帐”的会计帐上。
2、 A journal is a chronological（arrange in order of time ） record of business transactions。

早期的会计主要是为了帮助业者记忆，而会计的受众也仅仅是业主或者薄记员。比较原始的会计已经无法应付牵扯多个投资者的企业实体所要面临的各种问题，于是在十四世纪初期的意大利北方地区首次出现了复式计帐法，当时那里的贸易所需资本就已经开始超过单个投资者的能力了。股份公司的发展为会计创造了范围更广的受众，这是因为无法掌握这些运作第一手资料的投资者需要依靠会计来提供所需的信息。{6}这一进展造成了会计体系分成内用（即管理会计）和外用（即金融会计）两种，随后还催生了会计准则和信息公开准则以及由审计师对外部会计进行独立证实的要求日渐增多。{7}时至今日，会计被称为“企业的语言”，这是因为会计是向很多不同人群报告某个企业实体财务信息的方式。主要向企业实体内部人员报告的会计被称做管理会计，它用来向雇员、经理、业主-经理和审计师提供有关信息。管理会计主要关注的是为管理决策或运营决策提供决策依据。向企业实体外部人员提供信息的会计被称为金融会计，它用来向当前和潜在的股东、诸如银行或卖方等债权人、金融分析师、经济学家以及各政府部门提供有关信息。由于这些用户具有不同的需要，金融会计的呈示要求结构严谨并且需要遵守的规定比管理会计要多。管理金融会计的一系列原则叫做公认会计原则，简称GAAP。{8}手工翻译的。
