Sick and tired of useful inventions? Think you can get by in life without them? Follow along with one man who is attempting to avoid basic invention. Take a peek into his diary…
已經對身邊有用的發明感到厭倦?認為你可以在沒有他們的情況下生活?跟隨我們一起去看看下面這位老兄吧，他正試圖避免基本的發明生活。讓我們一窺他的日記吧…
Electricity
電力
I've turned off the power. No microwave (invented in 1945) , TV (invented in 1923), lights (first demonstrated in 1879) or telephones (invented in 1876).
我已經關閉電源。沒有微波(于1945年發明),電視(于1923年發明),燈光(1879年第一次展示)或電話(于1876年發明)，神馬都沒有了 。
I've disconnected my phone. I spent the day writing letters to friends and family. Only to realize that I couldn't apply a stamp. Glue is an invention; it's been around since 4000 B.C.
我已經斷了自己的電話。我用了一天的時間寫信給朋友和家人。但我馬上意識到到自己不能使用郵票。因為膠是一項偉大的發明,它早在公元前4000年左右就已經出現了。
Shelter
遮風擋雨地
Still... I'm surrounded by inventions: furniture (in existence since 3000 B.C.), paint (the first use of paint can be dated back to 15000 B.C.) , even the ceiling! I'm abandoning my home. I didn't lock the door because keys are an invention (the modern lock and key was developed in 1776). I've since found a more natural uninvented habitat: A cave.
不過…我周圍的發明:家俱(存在于西元前3000年),油漆(在第一次使用油漆可以追溯到公元前15000年),甚至天花板也是!我不得不放棄家。我沒有鎖門,因為鑰匙本身就是一項發明(現代鎖和鑰匙于1776年發明)。我已經找到了一個更為自然且無需用到發明的棲息地: 那就是洞穴。
It's been two days and my body has developed a disgusting odor. I'd forgotten that soap is an invention (first used in ancient Babylonia).
我已經在這里兩天,我的身體已經散發出一種惡心的氣味。我忘記了肥皂是一項偉大的發明(首次使用是在古巴比倫尼亞)。
Food
食物
My plan was to eat right from the can. Then I realized the tin can was invented 1810. On a side note, I've just realized what an amazing invention sliced bread is (invented in 1928).
我的計劃是吃罐頭。但我意識到罐頭于1810年被發明出來。從另一個方面講,我剛剛認識到切片面包是一項了不起的發明 (于1928年發明)。
Without food, I'm forced to hunt and gather. But without guns, a bow and arrow, or even a steel knife... all I can do is throw rocks at stuff.
沒有食物,我被迫出去打獵和尋找食物。但是沒有槍,弓和箭,甚至是鐵刀…我所能做的就扔石頭。
Hungr
饑餓難耐
I'm so hungry, Diary. I saw a man cook and eat his shoe in a movie once. I considered this option before realizing my shoe is yet another invention. As are my clothes (the sewing machine was invented in 1846).
我很餓。我曾在一部電影中看到一個男人煮了他的鞋然后吃掉。我曾想過這個提議，但又馬上意識到我的鞋是另一種發明。當然還有我的衣服(縫紉機于1846年發明)。
Naked
裸體
The nights are cold. Fire is natural, but a campfire is an invention (Man was able to control fire as early as 500,000 B.C.). I'm freezing my butt off, diary.
黑夜給了我黑色的眼睛，但黑夜又是寒冷難耐的?；鹗侨∽源笞匀?但一堆篝火就是一項偉大的發明(人類最早控制火在公元前500000年) 。我的屁股都要凍僵了。

Diary, I've invented the 21st century invention-free life. This is how it was meant to be. I don't need anything or anyone. Except paramedics and some 21st century medical attention (The ambulance was invented in the 11th century).
日記，我已經發明了二十一世紀沒有基礎發明的生活。這是命中注定的。我不需要靠任何人或任何事就能生存下去。除了醫護人員和一些二十一世紀的醫療設備(救護車發明于11世紀)。
詞語解釋:
1. microwave n. 微波
2. slice v. 切
3. campfire n. 篝火
