讀雙語故事,看百味人生。閱讀是一生的功課,無論順境逆境,我們總能在文字里找到共鳴。以下是小編整理的時間 / Time的內(nèi)容,讀一下吧,也許恰好是你喜歡的那一篇。
I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action. Doubt I will bury with faith. Fear I will dismeber with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not. Where there are idle hands I will linger not. Where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.
The duties of today I shall fulfill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I.Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.
And if it is the last, it will be my great monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute; I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief.

【參考譯文】
我非常憎恨那些浪費(fèi)時間的行為。我要用行動來戒除拖延,我要以真誠埋葬懷疑,我要用信心消滅恐懼。我不聽閑話,我要遠(yuǎn)離不游手好閑者,我不會與不務(wù)正業(yè)的人來往。我終于醒悟到,若是懶惰,無異于從我所心愛的人手中竊取食物和衣裳。我不是賊,我有愛心,今天是我最后的機(jī)會,我要證明我的愛心和偉大。
今日事今日畢。今天我要趁孩子還小的時候,多加愛護(hù),明天他們將離我而去,我也會離開。今天我要深情地?fù)肀业钠拮?,給她甜蜜的吻,明天她會離去,我也是。今天我要幫助落難的朋友,明天他不再求援,我也聽不到他的哀求。今天我要勤于工作,樂于奉獻(xiàn),因?yàn)槊魈煳覠o法給予,也沒有人來領(lǐng)受了。
如果這是我的末日,那么它就是不朽的紀(jì)念日。我把它當(dāng)成最美好的日子。我要把每分每秒化為甘露,一口一口,細(xì)細(xì)品嘗,給予感激。我要使每一小時都有它的作用,我要使每一分鐘都產(chǎn)生它的價值。我要加倍努力,直到精疲力竭。
