If you hadn’t heard, today is October 21, 2015, the day that Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled to the future in the popular movie Back to the Future 2!
也许你还不知道,今天是电影“回到未来”中马蒂-麦福来和布朗博士去未来旅行的日子。
What does that mean for us?
这对我们来说意味着什么?
How accurate were the movie’s gadgets?
电影里的“小玩意”到底有多精确?
How about the sports predictions!?
电影中对未来的体育有怎样脑洞大开的预测?
Let’s take a look! 让我们来一探究竟!
Hover Board
悬浮滑板
Prediction: a stylish pink board that anybody can jump on and use with ease… but don’t try over water!
预测:一款新潮的粉色滑板,任何人都可以轻松跳上去使用它,不过请注意,此款滑板不可以使用于水上哦!
Reality: We get these little people movers that require balance training and stability… Hendo Company & Mercedes are also working on boards that actually hover, but they are way too expensive for the average person, though. Maybe you can find them on Taobao?
现实中:只有少数人可以玩滑板,因为这项运动既需要训练你的平衡性又需要训练你的稳定性。Hendo公司正努力开发悬浮滑板,但即使悬浮滑板问世,对我们来说,价钱也会非常昂贵。不过到时候,你也许可以在万能的淘宝上找到它。
Auto-Fitting Clothes
“随身变”服装
Prediction: Put on a huge jacket and it will automatically adjust to your size! Put on awesome Nike shoes and they’ll instantly adjust.
预测:当你穿上任意一款肥大的夹克时,它可以立刻自动变的非常合身!当你穿上任意一双帅气的耐克鞋,它同样会立刻变的非常合脚!
Reality: We’ve got compression shirts and yoga pants.
现实:真以为穿衣可以如此随心所欲?“压缩T-Shirt”和瑜伽裤奉上!
Food Hydrator
食物膨胀机
Prediction: Buy a small packet from Pizza Hut, put it in your hydrator and you’ve got an instant pizza!
预测:在必胜客买一小袋的披萨回家放到你的食物膨胀机里,很快你就可以得到一份速食披萨。
Reality: An app on our phone that can deliver any food to our door within 30 minutes?
现实:我只想知道有哪个外卖APP可以让我在30分钟内吃上饭?
Jaws 19
《大白鲨19》
Prediction: That the movie Jaws will have its 19th sequel in Holomax!
预测:大白鲨第19部续集会被拍成立体电影!
Reality: The joke still stands that Hollywood loves making sequels of every movie. And while we don’t have holomax, we get IMAX 3D!
现实:把每一部电影拍成续集一直是好莱坞所热衷的,这个梗在现在也依然适用。虽然我们还没有立体电影,但我们有IMAX3D!
And finally…
Chicago Cubs
芝加哥童子军队
Will the Chicago Cubs baseball team actually win the World Series this year!? They still have a chance!
棒球队芝加哥童子军真的会在今年世锦赛夺冠吗?也许他们还有机会!
This might be the biggest coincidence of all. In reality, they haven’t won a national championship since the year 1908, the longest drought in American professional sports. To put that in perspective, the Chicago Cubs haven’t won since China was under Qing Dynasty rule! But as the movie predicts, this might be their lucky year!
这也许电影里所有预测中最令人惊奇的偶然了。事实上,自1908年至今,他们再也没在国家级赛事上夺冠,导致了美国职业运动史上最长的冠军荒。客观来说,自中国还在清朝时起芝加哥童子军就没赢过!不过既然电影如此大胆的预测了,那么也许今年会是这支队伍的幸运年。
(The newspaper also says the USA has a female president… didn’t happen!)
(报纸同样预言美国会有女性总统,然而这并没有发生…)
