哥伦比亚大学的年轻科学家亚历山大·哈迪根乘坐自己研制的时间机器来到了802,701年之后,他看到了一片可以用奇妙美丽来形容的景象:人们居住在搭建于悬崖上的木房子里,这些房子像贝壳一样贴附在悬崖峭壁上,互相之间以曲折的木梯和栈道相连。这就是艾洛伊族(Eloi),他们的住所下面就是江河,可通过绳梯到达停在河面的船中。而他们的敌人莫洛克斯族(Morlocks)生活在地底,样貌凶猛可怖且四肢发达,他们的食物就是地面上的艾洛伊族人。这是电影《时间机器》中描绘的故事,这里的八十万年后,没有我们想象中的高科技,没有形态各异的外星人。而是,人类似乎又过上了原始社会形态的生活,回到了巢居和穴居,回到了原点。故事告诉我们,那些我们想象中的高科技建筑或交通工具已经是此时的过去式了。
Alexander Hardikan, a young scientist at Columbia University, came to 802 with his own time machine. After 701, he saw a scene that could be described as marvelous beauty: people lived in wooden houses built on cliffs, Attached to the cliffs on the same shell, with each other to the winding wooden ladder and the path connected. This is the Eloi, which is below the dwellings of their residence, and can reach the river stopping by a rope ladder. Their enemies, the Morlocks, live in the ground with fierce and horrifying limbs, and their food is the Aloys on the ground. This is a story portrayed in the movie The Time Machine, where, after 800,000 years, there is no high-tech we imagine and no aliens of all shapes and sizes. Instead, humanity seems to have lived a life of primordial social status, returned to nest homes and cave homes, and returned to the point of origin. The story tells us that those high-tech buildings or vehicles we imagine are already past tense at this time.
