"It's not really all that important to send human beings sometime. Imagine what it would be like if we could send information back into the past, we could warn ourselves of future disasters and avert those catastrophes."
“有时候将人类送回过去并不那么重要。设想一下，如果将信息带回过去会是什么样。然而将人类送到未来，我们就可以预知未来会生什么疾病，就可以采取措施避免这样的灾难。”
One thing Doctor Mallet's device will not do is let him achieve the dream that inspired him.He still won't get to see his father.
有一件事马利特博士的时光机器做不到：让他实现自己的梦想。他还是看不到他的父亲。
"It's the device itself that's creating the effect. So prior to the time that devices turn down, you can't travel earlier than that."
“创造这种效果的是机器本身。因此你只能在机器停止时的时间范围内穿越，也就说你不能回到比这更早的时间。”
But what about later? Meaning the future. Will Doctor Mallet find himself surrounded by tomorrow scientists who will answer his questions?
但是之后呢？我是指未来。马利特博士会发现自己置身于未来的科学家之间吗？他们能回答他的问题吗？
"We are not gonna know the answer to that until we build a time machine. The Wright brothers back in 1903 had this rickety craft that they were able to get just a few hundred yards. By the middle of the century we had intercontinental jet travel.It's the same with time travel. Even if we are only be able to send subatomic particles back to the past,once that is done. Then the technological explosion that results could lead to the possibility of human time travel within this century."
“直到我们建成时光机器，我们才能知晓答案。回到1903年，怀特兄弟设计的摇摇晃晃的汽车只能把人送到几百码远。在20世纪中叶，我们可以在洲际间乘直升飞机旅行。即使我们只能把亚原子粒子送回过去，哪怕只有一次也成功了。这是个科技爆炸的时代，这必将使人们在这个世纪内穿越成为可能。”
Time travel is just one of the many futuristic fantasies we may soon see come to life. Here is what tomorrow's world will bring. We can expect to have a cute and helpful robot, and a robot that looks exactly like us. We will wear a power suit, see through walls, fly to work, make all our belongings at home, spend virtual time in nature,spend virtual time with a friend, live on Mars and just maybe, slow down time. Are you ready?
穿越时空只是人类对未来的许多幻想之一，我们会看到它们一一实现。这就是未来世界能够带给我们的。我们有望拥有一只可爱又有用的机器人，这种机器人看起来跟人类一样。我们还会穿上超能量外衣，能看穿墙壁，能飞着去上下班，能在自己家里制作物品，能在火星上生活，还有可能放慢时间的脚步。你准备好了吗？
