尽管玛雅人预言2012年世界末日就要来临,可眼前的圣诞购物依然热火朝天。心有不甘的购物者或许憎恨这个消息,但被等待已久、大加渲染的玛雅大灾变也不过如此——考古学家正迫不及待等着事情快些过去,自己好无需再费口舌去解释为什么它根本不会发生了。“我奉劝大家不要急着卖房、辞职、离婚,也不要对那些我们自认为永无见面机会的人恶语相向,”伊利诺伊大学考古学教授丽莎·卢塞罗如是说。她的学生该做作业还得做作业。到12月21日左右,古玛雅日历将进入又一个时长394年的白克顿周期。事实很可能就是如此,尽管作家、制片人不遗余力传递着一个信息——玛雅人预言今年地球将要毁灭。
Despite the Maya prophecy 2012 Doomsday is coming, the immediate Christmas shopping is still in full swing. The unwilling shopper may hate the news, but the long-awaited, caricatured Mayan cataclysm is even more so - archaeologists are waiting to wait for things to pass faster and better without having to waste the tongue to explain why It does not happen at all. “I advise everyone not to hurry to sell, resign, divorce, nor to those who we think never meet the opportunity to whisper, ” said University of Illinois Archeology professor Lisa Lucero said. Her students have to do their homework assignments. By December 21 or so, the ancient Mayan calendar will enter yet another cycle of 394-year Beringdon. This may very well be the case, though writers and producers spared no effort in sending a message that the Maya predicted this year the Earth would be destroyed.
