Jones [archaeologist of A.D. 5139] potters about for a while in the region which we have come to regard as New York, finds countless ruins, but little of interest to the historian except a calcified direction sheet to something called a "Time Capsule." Jones finds the capsule but cannot open it, and decides, after considerable prying at the lid, that it is merely evidence of an archaic tribal ceremony called a "publicity gag" of which he has already found many examples. [Princeton Alumni Weekly, April 14, 1939]
Jones [公元5139年的考古学家] 在我们现在认为是纽约的地区闲逛,发现无数遗迹,但对历史学家来说除了一个被称为“时间胶囊”的钙化方向表外,几乎没有什么有趣的东西。Jones 找到了这个胶囊,但无法打开它,并在多次撬动盖子后决定,这只是一个名为“宣传噱头”的古老部落仪式的证据,他已经找到了许多这样的例子。[普林斯顿校友周刊,1939年4月14日]
