參考范文
“Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.” This remark tells us that we should treasure every minute and do something meaningful. 1
Time is money. 2 Time flies and never waits for anyone. We cannot reclaim time once it passes by no matter how much money you have. For this reason, time is even more precious than money. When money is spent, we can earn more. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.
Time is life. 2 As we all know, life is limited and every minute is extremely precious for us. However, if one kills time, such as doing nothing all day or spending much time playing computer games, he will be good for nothing. In this sense, wasting time is equal to wasting a part of one’s valuable life. On the contrary, if one makes full use of every minute to do something meaningful, he will make a great achievement over a long period of time.
Money and life are two of the most important things for us. Therefore, treasure every moment you have. Seize the time, seize the day! 3
“生活中發(fā)生的每一件事都是在為你的未來做準備。”這句話告訴我們,要珍惜每時每刻,做有意義的事情。
時間就是金錢。時間如流水,歲月不待人。一旦時間流走,即使有再多的錢我們也買不回來。因此,時間要比金錢更加寶貴。錢花了,我們可以再掙。然而,時間沒了就再也回不來了。這就是我們?yōu)槭裁匆湎r間的原因。
時間就是生命。眾所周知,生命是有限的,對于我們來說,每一秒都異常珍貴。然而,如果一個人消磨時間,比如成天什么事都不做或者花大量的時間玩電腦游戲,他將一事無成。從這種意義上講,浪費時間就等于浪費一個人寶貴生命的一部分。相反,如果一個人爭分奪秒地做有意義的事,經過較長的一段時間他就可以獲得重大的成就。
金錢和生命對我們來說是兩項最重要的東西。因此,珍惜每時每刻,抓緊時間,抓緊每一天。

句法點評
1. However, if one kills time, such as doing nothing all day or spending much time playing computer games, he will be good for nothing.
此句中用到了such as這一介詞短語,因此后面接動名詞短語doing nothing all day or spending much time...。such as表示列舉,意為“例如……”。
2. In this sense, wasting time is equal to wasting a part of one’s valuable life.
本句采用的是動名詞短語wasting time作主語,而句中的動名詞短語wasting a part of one’s valuable life作介詞to的賓語。
