13、ney“. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money intoour pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either produce some useful and important piece of workwhich will fetch its price in the market,

14、or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as toenable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time isconvertible into money. Let those who think nothing o

15、f wasting time remember this; let them remember thatan hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a banknote; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so muchsilver or gold; and then they will probably think twice befo

16、re they give their consent to the loss of any part oftheir time.1、諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)：“時(shí)間就是金錢(qián)?！边@句話的意思是，一時(shí)片刻只要用得有效， 都會(huì)讓我們的口袋增添一些錢(qián)。如果我們的時(shí)間使用得當(dāng)，就能生產(chǎn)出有用 的、重要的產(chǎn)品，在市場(chǎng)上賣(mài)得一定的價(jià)錢(qián)；就能充實(shí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，增長(zhǎng)才干，等 到適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)機(jī)來(lái)臨時(shí)，我們就能掙得金錢(qián)。因此，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，時(shí)間可以轉(zhuǎn)化 為金錢(qián)。讓那些對(duì)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間滿不在乎的人記

17、住這一點(diǎn)。讓他們記住，浪費(fèi)一 小時(shí)等于損失一張鈔票，而利用一小時(shí)就等于得到若干金銀。這樣，他們想 浪費(fèi)時(shí)間時(shí)或許會(huì)三思而后行。2.Moreover, our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We areshocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains,

18、 no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But weare too often indifferent to loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days andof the hours we live. A day or an hour wasted is ther

19、efore so much life forfeited. Let us bear this in mind, andwaste of time will appear to us in the light of a crime as culpable as suicide itself.2、再說(shuō)，我們的生命無(wú)非就是我們活在人世的時(shí)間 。因此，浪費(fèi)時(shí)間也 就是一種自殺。我們想到死，便驚恐不已，因而不惜一切努力、麻煩和費(fèi)用 來(lái)保全我們的生

20、命?？墒?，我們對(duì)于損失一個(gè)小時(shí)或者一天的時(shí)間卻往往漠 不關(guān)心、無(wú)動(dòng)于衷，忘記了我們的生命原本就是我們生活的每一天、每一小 時(shí)的總和。因此，浪費(fèi)一天或一小時(shí)也就是喪失一天或一小時(shí)的生命。讓我 們記住這一點(diǎn)，這樣就會(huì)把浪費(fèi)時(shí)間看作一種罪過(guò)，跟自殺一樣應(yīng)該受到懲 罰。3.There is a third consideration which will also tend to warn us against loss of time. Ou

21、r life is a brief spanmeasuring some sixty or seventy years in all, but nearly one half of this has to be spent in sleep; some yearshave to be spent over our meals; some over dressing and undressing; some in making journ

22、eys on land andvoyages by sea; some in merry-making, either on our own account or for the sake of others; some incelebrating religious and social festivities; some in watching over the sick-beds of our nearest and deares

23、trelatives. Now if all these years were to be deducted from the term over which our life extends, we shall findabout fifteen or twenty years at our disposal for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willinglywast

24、e a single moment of his life. “It is astonishing“ says Lord Chesterfield, “that anyone can squander awayin absolute idleness one single moment of that portion of time which is allotted to us in this world. Know thetrue
