The Mayans, who were good-enough astronomers and timekeepers to predict Venus's position 500 years in the future, deserve better than this.
玛雅人在天文学和记录时间方面足够出色。他们在那个年代就预言了500年后金星的位置。而值得称颂的还不仅于此。

Mayan time was cyclic, and experts like Dr. Krupp and Anthony Aveni, an astronomer and anthropologist at Colgate University, say there is no evidence that the Mayans thought anything special would happen when the odometer rolled over on this Long Count in 2012. There are references in Mayan inscriptions to dates both before the beginning and the ending of the present Long Count, they say, just as your next birthday and April 15 loom beyond New Year's Eve, on next year's calendar.
玛雅人的时间是循环的，包括克虏伯博士和科尔盖特大学天文学和人类学家安东尼·阿韦尼在内的专家们说，没有证据证明玛雅人认为有什么特别的事情将在2012年“长历法”一轮回结束时发生。专家们说，在玛雅人的石刻里，有关于目前“长历法”轮回开始和结束前的日子的标识，正像你知道你的下一个生日和4月15日将出现在明年日历的新年前夜之后一样。
