第583期:英語美文Time Is A Bank
上帝很公平，他公平地給每一個(gè)人每天24個(gè)小時(shí)，今天我們能就來分享一篇將時(shí)間比作銀行的文章。這篇文章中，用到了很多銀行中常用的術(shù)語，如：注銷，遺失，余額，透支，存款，取錢等，這些比喻非常的精巧，也恰恰說明了時(shí)間的重要性，而且遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)比真實(shí)的存款還要重要。
New Words:
credit vt. 相信，信任；把…歸給，歸功于；贊頌
overdraft vt. [金融] 透支
deposit n. 存款；
treasure vt. 珍愛；珍藏
Everyone has a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.
每個(gè)人都有一個(gè)銀行，它的名字叫"時(shí)間"。每天早晨，它在你的帳戶里存入86,400秒鐘。不管你是否很好地利用了這筆時(shí)間，每天晚上它會(huì)照例把這筆時(shí)間作為遺失注銷。它沒有余額，也不允許透支。
Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
每天它會(huì)為你開一個(gè)新帳戶，每晚它會(huì)把該天的記錄全部刪除。如果你沒有好好地利用當(dāng)天的這筆時(shí)間，那么損失由你自己承擔(dān)。
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today: "Seize the day!"
沒有回頭路，也不能向"明天"借時(shí)間。你必須以今天的時(shí)間"存款"為基礎(chǔ)生活在現(xiàn)在。有效地投資這筆時(shí)間以便從中獲取有關(guān)健康，快樂及成功最大的收益。時(shí)鐘正在流逝。好好地利用今天："抓住每一天！"
So, you see, time is important, make the most of it. After all, life is either a daring adventure or nothing!
你看，時(shí)間挺重要的吧，一定要好好利用它。畢竟，生活要么是大膽的嘗試，要么就什么都沒有。
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to have your time. And remember time waits for none.
珍惜你所擁有的每一分鐘！你要更加珍惜它，因?yàn)槟闩c某個(gè)特殊的朋友一起在分享它，這位朋友特殊到擁有你的時(shí)間。記住：時(shí)間不等人。
