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…

已经对身边有用的发明感到厌倦?认为你可以在没有他们的情况下生活?跟随我们一起去看看下面这位老兄吧,他正试图避免基本的发明生活。让我们一窥他的日记吧…

Electricity

电力

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).

我已经关闭电源。没有微波(于1945年发明),电视(于1923年发明),灯光(1879年第一次展示)或电话(于1876年发明),神马都没有了 。

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.

我已经断了自己的电话。我用了一天的时间写信给朋友和家人。但我马上意识到到自己不能使用邮票。因为胶是一项伟大的发明,它早在公元前4000年左右就已经出现了。

Shelter

遮风挡雨地

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.

不过…我周围的发明: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!我不得不放弃家。我没有锁门,因为钥匙本身就是一项发明(现代锁和钥匙于1776年发明)。我已经找到了一个更为自然且无需用到发明的栖息地: 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).

我已经在这里两天,我的身体已经散发出一种恶心的气味。我忘记了肥皂是一项伟大的发明(首次使用是在古巴比伦尼亚)。

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).

我的计划是吃罐头。但我意识到罐头于1810年被发明出来。从另一个方面讲,我刚刚认识到切片面包是一项了不起的发明 (于1928年发明)。

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.

没有食物,我被迫出去打猎和寻找食物。但是没有枪,弓和箭,甚至是铁刀…我所能做的就扔石头。

Hungr

饥饿难耐

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).

我很饿。我曾在一部电影中看到一个男人煮了他的鞋然后吃掉。我曾想过这个提议,但又马上意识到我的鞋是另一种发明。当然还有我的衣服(缝纫机于1846年发明)。

Naked

裸体

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.

黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛,但黑夜又是寒冷难耐的。火是取自大自然,但一堆篝火就是一项伟大的发明(人类最早控制火在公元前500000年) 。我的屁股都要冻僵了。

???

???

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).

日记,我已经发明了二十一世纪没有基础发明的生活。这是命中注定的。我不需要靠任何人或任何事就能生存下去。除了医护人员和一些二十一世纪的医疗设备(救护车发明于11世纪)。
