Some people seek to correct mistakes, to change something in the past. The Time Machine will help us with this. Unfortunately, we have not yet invented it. For many people this is a huge pity. This does not bother time. Time will reveal itself and tell all the secrets.
Некоторые люди стремятся исправить ошибки, что-то изменить в а некоторые узнать свое будущее. Машина Времени нам в этом. К сожалению, мы еще не изобрели ее. Для многих людей это огромная жалость. Но для других - это повод не тревожить время. Время само себя раскроет и расскажет все тайны.
With the help of the Time Machine you can correct your past, replace something. Cut one slide from your life. But on the other hand, people will be in great danger: because if something is wrong in the past, everything will turn out completely different in the future.
С Машины Времени можно исправить свое что-то заменить. Вырезать один слайд из своей жизни. Но с другой стороны, люди будут подвергаться большой опасности: ведь если что-то не так сделать в в будущем выйдет все совсем по другому.
In the future, too, not everything is so easy. Of course, it is very curious to find out what awaits us next, but people can find out their future and go crazy: what if there will be something terrible there? Something that touched the very essence of man? It seems to me that it is better not to know
В будущем тоже не все так легко. Конечно очень любопытно узнать, что ждет нас дальше, но люди могут узнать свое будущее и сойти с ума: а вдруг там будет что-то ужасное? Что-то такое, что затронуло самую суть человека? Мне кажется, что лучше не знать свое будущее. Лучше жить тем, что есть. А не ходить по времени и изменять его.
