The Inevitable Slew of “Is the World Ending?” News Stories
无休止的“世界末日”新闻报道

You know how when December’s over the year starts over again with January? Yeah, that’s sort of how the Mayan calendar works, too. After one cycle, it repeats, which is what happens after the current cycle finishes up this year. It’s just that simple. But that won’t stop intrepid reporters from filing ludicrous stories that examine the possibility of Earth combusting in a ball of flames. We encourage you to treat these as humor pieces and laugh accordingly.
旧年结束于12月，新的一年从1月重新开始，你知道为什么是这样的吗？这也是玛雅历法的计算方式。一个轮回之后再重新开始，今年结束，又是来年。其实再简单不过。但是却不能阻止勇于进取的记者们收集调查地球成为火球的可能性，写出荒唐的新闻故事来。我们奉劝你别把这些当真，一笑置之。
