故事：
Once upon a time, in a situated village near a coal mine, a pendulum clock was the only source of timekeeping. The horizontal clock face was simple, with an index for each hour and a single hand to indicate the time.
从前，在一座坐落在一座煤矿附近的村庄里，一只摆钟是唯一的时间记录工具。这只钟的钟面是水平的，简单明了，每小时都有一个刻度，只有一个指针来指示时间。
As autumn arrived, the villagers prepared for the annual harvest. They went to the fields early in the morning, but the noise from the mine made it difficult to hear the clock ticking. The villagers didn't want to contend with being late, so they set up a transient makeshift clock using a piece of wood and a stone.
随着秋天的到来，村民们开始为每年的收获做准备。他们一大早就去田地，但是矿井传来的噪音让他们很难听到钟声。村民们不想冒着迟到的风险，所以他们用一块木头和一块石头搭建了一个临时的时钟。
The makeshift clock wasn't very aesthetic, but it was advisable for keeping track of time. They tied a peach to the end of a string and hung it from the wooden piece, which acted as the clock's pendulum. The villagers would adjust the position of the stone underneath to keep the pendulum swinging at a steady tone.
这个临时的时钟并不美观，但它是记录时间的好方法。他们把一只桃子系在绳子的一端，挂在木头上，用桃子作为摆的替代品。村民们会调整石头的位置，让摆能够以稳定的频率摆动。
The harvest went well, and the villagers were pleased with their makeshift clock. However, one day they received a caution from the local government about the use of unlicensed timekeeping devices. They were told that it was condemnable to use anything other than an approved clock.
收成很好，村民们对他们的临时时钟很满意。但是有一天，他们收到了当地政府的警告，称使用未经许可的计时设备是不被允许的。他们被告知，使用未经批准的时钟是不可取的。
The villagers comprised of people from different ethnic backgrounds, and they felt that the government's policy preceded their cultural traditions. They contended that the makeshift clock was an effective solution to their timekeeping needs and that it was more modern than the old pendulum clock.
村民们包括来自不同的民族背景，他们觉得政府的政策违背了他们的文化传统。他们争辩说，临时时钟是他们计时需求的有效解决方案，比老式钟摆更现代化
They decided to bring the matter to the attention of the Congress and requested a change in the policy. They also pointed out that the makeshift clock was not a patent infringement since it was a simple device made from commonly found materials.
他们决定将这个问题呈报给国会，并请求政策上的改变。他们还指出，这个临时的时钟不是侵犯专利，因为它只是用常见的材料制成的一个简单的设备。
The government was hesitant to make any changes, but after a qualitative analysis, they realized that the makeshift clock was a viable solution. They cautioned the villagers to ensure that their device met certain safety standards and that they would have to register their device with the local authorities.
政府犹豫是否做出任何改变，但经过一次定性分析，他们意识到这个临时时钟是可行的解决方案。他们提醒村民确保他们的设备符合某些安全标准，并且必须向当地政府登记他们的设备。
The villagers were pleased with the government's decision and registered their makeshift clock. They continued to use the device during the harvest season, and it became an affair of pride for the village.
村民对政府的决定感到满意，并注册了他们的临时时钟。他们在收获季节继续使用这个设备，并且它成为了村庄的骄傲之事。
Although the makeshift clock was elementary, it served its purpose well, and the villagers no longer had to contend with the noise from the mine. They continued to use the clock for many years, even after the old pendulum clock stopped working.
虽然这个临时时钟很基础，但它很好地达到了它的目的，村民们不再受到矿井的噪音的影响。他们在许多年后仍然使用这个时钟，即使旧的摆钟停止工作了
