I Will Live This Day as if It Is My Last

假如今天是我生命中的最后一天

I will live this day as if it is my last.

假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。

And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow’s sand flow through the glass before today’s? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow’s deeds while standing in today’s path? Can I place tomorrow’s gold in today’s purse? Can tomorrow’s child be born today? Can tomorrow’s death cast its shadow backward and darken today’s joy? Should I concern myself over events which I may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.

我该怎么办？忘记昨天，也不要痴想明天。明天是一个未知数，为什么要把今天的精力浪费在未知的事上？想着明天的种种,今天的时光也白白流逝了。企盼今早的太阳再次升起，太阳已经落山。走在今天的路上，能做明天的事吗？我能把明天的金币放进今天的钱袋里吗？明日瓜熟，今日能蒂落吗？明天的死亡能将今天的欢乐蒙上阴影吗？我能杞人忧天吗？我能为那未出现的问题折磨自己吗？不！明天和昨天一样被我埋葬。我不再想它。

I will live this day as if it is my last.

假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。

This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift my arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday’s sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today’s hours are but a bonus,undeserved.

这是我仅有的一天,是现实的永恒。我像被救免死刑的囚犯，用喜悦的泪水拥抱新生的太阳。我举起双手，感谢这无与伦比的一天。当我想到昨天和我一起迎接日出的朋友, 今天已不复存在时，我为自己的幸存，感激上苍。我是无比幸运的人，今天的时光是额外的奖赏。
