“ I, Gong Cheng De, together with Jiu Jiang Man, who are guards of the king’s tomb, hereby fishing on order of the king, sends our regards to future generations!”
The 19 characters in Chinese , is a stone inscxtion which was forgotten after writing for next 2200 years until 1937, when a farmer in China founded and brought it home to be used as a tool.
The archaeologists brought it to Hebei Museum in 1970s where it sits today.
After research, the text was deciphered, and the king refers to head of the Zhongshan State , who reigned between 309BC to 296BC，the State is one of the five medium states in terms of military strength during the Warring States period, located in the mountain area between modern-day Hebei and Shanxi provinces.
來自2300年前的“漂流瓶”
“吾乃公乘得，與舊將曼同為守陵衛(wèi)士，今奉王命垂釣于此，愿后世安康！”
（譯者注：這里按英語文本翻譯，該文本與中文原文有較大出入，但是下面的回復(fù)是按這個英文文本為基礎(chǔ)的，所以翻譯也以此為上下文）
這段由19個漢字組成的石刻銘文，在沉寂了2200多年后，于1937年重見天日。當(dāng)時，一位中國農(nóng)民發(fā)現(xiàn)了這塊石頭，并將其帶回家中用作工具。20世紀(jì)70年代，考古學(xué)家將其收歸河北省博物館，至今仍珍藏于此。
經(jīng)過專家考證，銘文中的“王”指的是中山國國君，其在位時間為公元前309年至公元前296年。中山國是戰(zhàn)國時期五個軍事實力中等的諸侯國之一，位于現(xiàn)今河北省和山西省之間的山區(qū)。

It's like a 2,300-year-old time capsule. Its original artifact has never been exhibited.
這就像一個塵封了2300年的時間膠囊，而且這件文物從未對外展出過。
We got your message bro.
兄弟，我們收到你的消息了！

Simply incredible.
簡直令人難以置信。

太可愛了，我都看哭了。
Yes, China is widely recognized as a country with a remarkably rich and diverse culture, boasting a long history dating back thousands of years.
是的，中國是舉世公認(rèn)的文化古國，擁有數(shù)千年豐富多彩的歷史。
hi gong cheng de :) i hope the fish were biting
嗨，公乘得！希望你釣到了不少魚。
GONG CHENG DE!! YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN RECEIVED. THE FUTURE IS A STRANGE PLACE BUT IM SURE YOUR PRESENT WAS STRANGE ASWELL, SOMETHING NEVER CHANGE. I HOPE THE DAY YOU FISHED WAS WARM AND I HOPE YOU GOT TO EAT WAFFLES (PROBABLY NOT BUT WHO KNOWS) IN YOUR LIFE.
公乘得！你的消息我們收到了！未來是個神奇的地方，不過我相信你所處的時代也同樣奇妙，有些東西是永恒不變的。希望你釣魚的那天陽光明媚，也希望你這輩子能有機(jī)會嘗嘗華夫餅（雖然不太可能，但誰知道呢）。
Gong Cheng De and Jiu Jiang Man would've loved smartphones and steamboats
公乘得和舊將曼一定會喜歡智能手機(jī)和火鍋的！

Wow. How widespread was literacy in 300 BC China?
哇！公元前300年中國的識字率有多高？
More so than in today’s USA.
比今天的美國還高。
Wouldn’t be surprised. We’re only 60% White these days.
這毫不奇怪，畢竟我們（美國）現(xiàn)在只有60%是白人了.
It must be hard to have to sound out all the words you read and figure out a way to blame that on black people
你必須把你讀到的所有單詞都大聲讀出來，然后想辦法把這歸咎于黑人，這一定很難吧。
Not just blaming blacks. Latinos are almost as bad as blacks on PISA scores, and there are way more of them.
不僅僅是責(zé)怪黑人。拉丁裔在PISA（國際學(xué)生評估項目）測試中的得分幾乎和黑人一樣差，而且他們的人數(shù)要多得多。

They are guards of a king’s tomb, they are probably more learned than the average Chinese
他們是守衛(wèi)王陵的人，可能比普通中國人更有學(xué)問。
hello people from the past, how's life. lot changed since you died.
來自過去的人們，你們好??！生活如何？自從你們過世后，世界變化很大。
one of my dreams to be rich enough to just travel the world and visit as many museums and libraries as possible
我的夢想之一就是變得足夠富有，可以環(huán)游世界，盡可能多地參觀博物館和圖書館。
thank you for your message gong cheng de, hope the fishing went well
感謝你的留言，公乘得，希望你釣魚順利！
This is so cool i love humanity
這太酷了，我愛人類
we really are just homies of different times
我們其實只是不同時代的朋友。
It's intriguing me that at some point, those two were alive and existed. With their own thoughts, wishes and stories. And then they're gone. It's intriguing me that at that point of time, I do not exist. And then I existed. And just like them, I will also cease to exist.
這讓我感到好奇，在某個時刻，這兩個人曾經(jīng)活生生地存在過，擁有自己的思想、愿望和故事。然后，他們消失了。更讓我好奇的是，在那個時候，我并不存在。然后，我出現(xiàn)了。就像他們一樣，終有一天我也會不復(fù)存在。
All men are brothers, even those from 2300 years ago.
四海之內(nèi)皆兄弟，即使是2300年前的人也是如此。

Imaging writing a message saying "Whats good, me and my homie are security guards chilling out at the cemetary, just shooting the shit. Hope the future is treating you nice!" and in the year 4300 some dude found it and said "Been better"
想象一下，你寫了一條消息：“真不錯，我和我的哥們兒是墓地的保安，在這兒閑著呢。希望未來對你們好點兒！” 到了公元4300年，有個人發(fā)現(xiàn)了這條消息，然后說：“已經(jīng)好多了?！?/b>
我真的很喜歡這類故事，雖然相隔千年，但他們留下的只言片語卻讓我感覺仿佛認(rèn)識他們一樣，也更讓我對他們曾經(jīng)的生活充滿好奇。
do you think they ever wondered how long it would take for people to find their message. were they like "yeah i expect it to be like 2000 years in the future" or like "maybe it'll be found in 50 years" or they were just like "whenever they find it"
你覺得他們有沒有想過，人們要過多久才能發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的信息？他們會覺得“大概2000年后吧”，還是“可能50年后就被發(fā)現(xiàn)了”，又或者他們只是想“不管什么時候被發(fā)現(xiàn)都行”？
así como las tragedias y la maldad son inseparables del ser humano, la amistad y el juego también. me emociona que nosotros, las futurisimas generaciones, le hayamos cumplido la fantasía a estos dos chads que estaban al pedo en el trabajo y buscaban entretenerse.
正如悲劇和邪惡與人類如影隨形，友誼和玩樂也同樣如此。這讓我很感動，我們這些未來的后代，竟然實現(xiàn)了這兩個在工作中無所事事、尋找樂子的“猛男”的愿望。
It's a bit simpler, but it reminds me of a note on the Hagia Sophia by a Viking that translates to 'Halvdan was here.'
雖然文字更簡單，但它讓我想起了維京人在圣索菲亞大教堂上留下的字跡：“哈爾夫丹到此一游?！?/b>
These are cool asf and shows that it's like an instinct or something to do this throughout generations it's like 2000y later they find us writing shit like this too from now
這些東西真是太酷了，這表明這似乎是一種本能，或者說是某種代代相傳的東西。就像2000年后，人們也會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們現(xiàn)在留下的類似痕跡。
Cudowna historia. Dwóch stra?ników królewskich tu? przed upadkiem ich państwa ryje na kamieniu pozdrowienia dla przysz?ych pokoleń, które zostaj? odczytanie 2300 lat pó?niej.
多么精彩的故事！在王國覆滅前夕，兩名皇家衛(wèi)兵在一塊石頭上刻下了對后世的祝福，而這祝福直到2300年后才被人們解讀。
This is really beautiful and touching.
這真是太美、太感人了。
Time, making poetry of simple messages.
時間，將簡單的訊息化為詩篇。

Dude was really like "Hello from me and my bro to you of the future!!" and we legit got the message 2300 years later
這哥們兒真的就像在說：“我和我的兄弟向未來的你問好！” 而我們竟然在2300年后才收到這條消息！
Hello to you too, guy from ~300BC
There's something touching about this
也向你問好，來自公元前300年左右的朋友！
這件事里有些東西很觸動人心。
this made me feel something profound today and it was sorely needed
這讓我今天有了一些深刻的感觸，而這正是我所需要的。
So cool. We send our regards back Gong and Jiu!
太酷了！我們也向公乘得和舊將曼致以問候！
Assuming they didn’t really need to interpret any further than just reading it, it’s pretty cool how unchanged the Chinese language is
假設(shè)他們不需要過多解讀就能直接讀懂，中文的穩(wěn)定性真是令人驚嘆。
A marvelous time capsule.
一個奇妙的時間膠囊。

This makes me very emotional
這讓我非常感動。
we are all just silly little human even since 2300 years ago
即使是2300年前, 我們都只是渺小而有趣的人類。
China has excellent record keeping, beautiful civilization fr
中國的記錄保存工作做得非常出色，真是個美麗的文明。
I love humans. we really are all the same no matter what time in history
我愛人類。無論身處哪個歷史時期，我們本質(zhì)上都是一樣的。
I have weakness for stuff like this, from Onfim's doodles to the time capsule of USSR; I legit cry seeing these letters. I don't see them as marks of blissful ignorance of the future from the past but rather a message caught in-between its destination: a future of a free mankind.
我對這類東西毫無抵抗力，無論是Onfim的涂鴉，還是蘇聯(lián)的時間膠囊，看到這些文字，我真的會感動落淚。我不認(rèn)為它們是過去對未來無知的標(biāo)記，而是認(rèn)為它們是卡在傳遞途中的信息：一個屬于自由人類的未來。
evidence continues to suggest that mankind has been chilling for millennia and that chilling is one of the most distinct characteristics of intelligent life
越來越多的證據(jù)表明，數(shù)千年來，人類一直在“chill”（放松、享受），而“chill”正是智慧生命最顯著的特征之一。

The original text kinda gave me flashback of having to learn how to interpret old Chinese text for my spm Chinese exam, 文言文you're not for me
原文讓我想起了在SPM（馬來西亞教育文憑）中文考試中學(xué)習(xí)如何解讀古文的經(jīng)歷，文言文真的不適合我。
This reminds me of the sense of memento mori my younger self felt when gazing into cryptic Mesopotamian writing in a museum and realising that those great civilizations were no longer with us millennia later…
這讓我想起了年輕時在博物館凝視美索不達(dá)米亞神秘文字時感受到的“memento mori”（拉丁語，意為“記住你終將一死”），意識到那些偉大的文明在數(shù)千年后已不復(fù)存在。
I wonder if Gong Cheng De expected the rest of the world to read that.
我想知道公乘得是否預(yù)料到世界其他地方的人會讀到這些文字。
a china é muito legal cara como assim eu acabei de receber uma mensagem de 2300 anos no passado me dando oi
中國真是太酷了，天哪，我剛剛收到一條來自2300年前的問候！
This is so fucking cute omg
這也太可愛了吧！
這是值得你動起筆來的第473902個理由！你永遠(yuǎn)不知道未來的哪位航海家會發(fā)現(xiàn)你的文字！
中國の歴史、難しくてよくわかりませんが
老子が好きなので興味を惹かれました。
漢字っぽい、文字
中國的歷史太復(fù)雜了，我不太了解。
但我很喜歡老子，所以對這個很感興趣。
這些文字看起來很像漢字。
oh how this put a genuine smile on my face
哦，這讓我露出了真心的笑容。

如果這讓我有點情緒化，會很奇怪嗎？
“fishing on the order of the king” sounds like the ideal job tbh.
“奉王命垂釣”聽起來確實像是一份理想的工作。
Thank you for your kind regards Gong Cheng De and Jiu Jiang Man. Hope you caught some nice fish.
感謝公乘得和舊將曼的友好問候，希望你們釣到了大魚。
The discussions they had on that shift that led to talking about the future generations which eventually led to writing stuff must have been peak.
Would give anything to see that.
他們在那次值班期間的對話，引發(fā)了對后世的討論，并最終促使他們寫下了這些文字，這過程一定很有意思。
我愿意付出一切去見證那一刻。
Obrigado Gong Cheng De e Jiu Jiang Man. Vocês s?o de verdade
謝謝你們，公乘得和舊將曼。你們真了不起。
isso literalmente me fez chorar pqp a humanidade é mt linda
這真的讓我感動落淚，人性真是太美好了。
n?o me conformo com o qu?o antiga a China é
我無法想象中國竟然如此古老。
2300 anos
quase 5 Brasils
2300年，
差不多相當(dāng)于5個巴西的歷史。
there is something extremely touching about this story: two men writing a message on a stone, hoping that their descendants would read it
--- and their wish would be fulfilled, twenty-three centuries later
這個故事有著極其動人之處：兩個人，在石頭上寫下一段信息，希望他們的后代能夠讀到——而他們的愿望，在二十三個世紀(jì)后實現(xiàn)了。
wow i wonder if they care about the slaughter of 400K++ soldiers buried alive at the time
哇，不知道他們是否關(guān)心當(dāng)時被活埋的40多萬士兵的慘劇。
so cancel culture is coming for Gong Cheng De and Jiu Jiang Man now. Wow
所以現(xiàn)在“取消文化”要找上公乘得和舊將曼了？哇哦。

One of the biggest reasons I love history is because when you read primary sources, a lot of time, you'll find something that feels like the person who wrote it a long time ago was speaking to you. Always good to be reminded people in history books were still ultimately humans.
我熱愛歷史的一大原因就是，當(dāng)你閱讀原始資料時，很多時候，你會感覺仿佛很久以前寫下這些文字的人正在和你對話。這總是能很好地提醒我們，歷史書中的人物終究也是人。
It's ya boy Kongming!
是你，派對孔明！
Cdramaland plz write a story about Gong Cheng De and Jiu Jiang Man.
電視劇制作方，請以公乘得和舊將曼為原型創(chuàng)作一個故事吧！
Humans being silly at times has always been a thing since day 1, I guess. I hope these two lived well despite the harsh times.
看來，人類時不時地會“犯傻”，從一開始就是如此。希望這兩個人盡管身處亂世，也能過得很好。
