If you are worried that the world will end next year based on the Mayan calendar, relax. Mayan specialists meeting in Mexico said it merely marks the termination of one period of creation and the beginning of another, Reuters reported.

如果你担心按照玛雅日历世界将于明年终结，你就放心好了。据路透社报道，玛雅专家们日前在墨西哥举行会议指出，2012仅仅意味着一个"创世纪"的结束，和另一个"创世纪"的开始。

The Mayan calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year-old cycle around Dec 21, 2012. But the date only reflects a transition from one era to the next in which Bolon Yokte, a Mayan god associated with war and creation, returns. There is nothing apocalyptic, said experts.

玛雅日历认为，一次5126年的大轮回周期将于2012年12月21日之际结束。但这个日期仅意味着世界将过渡至下一个时代，即战争与创造之神博隆·约克特再度降临的时代。专家表示，这并不意味着世界末日。

Vocabulary:
