雙語(yǔ)故事·時(shí)間 Time

讀雙語(yǔ)故事，看百味人生。閱讀是一生的功課，無(wú)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(shí)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.

今日事今日畢。今天我要趁孩子還小的時(shí)候，多加愛(ài)護(hù)，明天他們將離我而去，我也會(huì)離開(kāi)。今天我要深情地?fù)肀业钠拮?，給她甜蜜的吻，明天她會(huì)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(tīng)不到他的哀求。今天我要勤于工作，樂(lè)于奉獻(xiàn)，因?yàn)槊魈煳覠o(wú)法給予，也沒(méi)有人來(lái)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(shí)都有它的作用，我要使每一分鐘都產(chǎn)生它的價(jià)值。我要加倍努力，直到精疲力竭。
