摘要

“上星期四我对你们中的一些人讲了时间机器的原理,并给你们看了实物,在车间里还没有完成。它现在就在那儿,确实有点饱经风霜;一根象牙栏杆裂了,一根铜栏杆弯了;但剩下的就够好了。我原打算星期五完成它;但是在星期五,当组装快完成的时候,我发现有一根镍棒短了一英寸,我不得不重新做。所以这件事直到今天早上才完成。今天十点钟,第一台时间机器开始了它的事业。我最后轻敲了一下,又试了一遍所有的螺丝,在石英棒上又滴了一滴油,然后坐在马鞍上。我想,一个拿枪顶着脑袋的自杀者,对接下来会发生什么也会像我当时一样感到惊奇。我一手拿着启动杆,另一手拿着停止杆,按了第一个,几乎立刻又按了第二个。我似乎摇摇晃晃;我有一种坠落的噩梦般的感觉;我环顾四周,看到的是和以前一模一样的实验室。发生什么事了吗?有那么一会儿,我怀疑我的智力欺骗了我。然后我注意到了钟。就在刚才,它似乎还停留在十点一分左右;现在已经快三点半了!

Time Travelling
‘I told some of you last Thursday of the principles of the Time Machine, and showed you the actual thing itself, incomplete in the workshop. There it is now, a little travel-worn, truly; and one of the ivory bars is cracked, and a brass rail bent; but the rest of it’s sound enough. I expected to finish it on Friday; but on Friday, when the putting together was nearly done, I found that one of the nickel bars was exactly one inch too short, and this I had to get re-made; so that the thing was not complete until this morning. It was at ten o’clock to-day that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last tap, tried all the screws again, put one more drop of oil on the quartz rod, and sat myself in the saddle. I suppose a suicide who holds a pistol to his skull feels much the same wonder at what will come next as I felt then. I took the starting lever in one hand and the stopping one in the other, pressed the first, and almost immediately the second. I seemed to reel; I felt a nightmare sensation of falling; and, looking round, I saw the laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? For a moment I suspected that my intellect had tricked me. Then I noted the clock. A moment before, as it seemed, it had stood at a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half-past three!
