  Travel through time

  It was a fanatical fantasy, but Dr. Hathaway was determined to find fame by being the first to travel through time. Working deep in the research facilities of his university, Hathaway was an expert at using his faculty status to get research money from faithful supporters. They would do anything to facilitate his success, even though they knew that Hathaway might be fallible. The money they gave Hathaway was fantastic, and he was sure he was making progress.

  When Hathaway showed up to a meeting in fancy clothing from another era, his peers thought he was faking success. Hathaway faltered in his description of what he had experienced, however, and fainted.No one had factored in the possibility that he might have succeeded, but they took care of him until he could give them more factual information.

  Those familiar with Hathaway were fairer, however, and when Hathaway awoke to say that he had done it, they erupted with loud fanfare. Their faith in Hathaway was confirmed and his fame spread instantly.

  But Hathaway was not prepared to show how he had traveled through time. He said that there was a large fallacy in his understanding of time travel that he still had to work out. After several weeks had passed and Hathaway was no longer to be found, his followers burst into the research facility. They found Hathaway lying on the ground and turned him around. They jumped back when they saw his face; he was suddenly an old man.

  "I can't fix the problem.''' He said. "Regardless of where you travel in time, you continue to age. I just spent thirty years in the future and still was not able to solve the problem." With that he uttered his last breath, never to tell anyone how he had traveled through time.

  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-穿越時間的旅行

  雖然那是個狂熱的幻想，但哈撒韋博士卻決意要做穿越時間旅行第一人并藉此出名。他利用大學的研究設備進行深入研究，還特別善于利用自己的教員身份向忠實的支持者們募集研究資金。那些支持者知道他難免出錯，但只要有助于他的成功，他們在所不惜。這些人給哈撒韋提供的錢極多，哈撒韋也相信自己在取得進步。

  當哈撒韋穿著另一個時代的花哨衣服參加一個會議時，他的同事認為他在假裝自己成功了。但是，在描述自己的經歷時他不僅聲音發抖，而且還昏了過去。誰也沒考慮到他也許已經成功這種可能性，但他們一直照料他，直到他能向他們提供更真實的信息。

  不過那些熟悉哈撒韋的人待他更加公平。當他醒來告訴這些人他已成功地穿越時間旅行時，他們頓時大吹大擂起來。他們對哈撒韋的信任得到了證實，哈撒韋頓時名聲大噪。

  但哈撒韋不準備展示他是如何穿越時間旅行的。他說自己對時間旅行的理解有一大錯誤，他還得弄清楚到底是怎么回事。幾個星期過去了，哈撒韋不見了。追隨者們闖入他的研究室，結果發現哈撒韋躺在地上。他們給他翻了個身，看到他的臉時嚇了一跳：他突然成了一個老頭。

  “我無法解決這個問題，”他說，“無論在哪個時間段旅行，你都會繼續變老。我剛才在未來待了 30 年，但仍然未能解決衰老問題。”說完這句話，他就咽了氣，再也無法告訴任何人他是如何穿越時間旅行的。
