双语美文:若今天是生命中的最后一天(2)

编辑:admin


  生命只有一次,而人生也不过是时间的累积。我若让今天的时光白白流逝,就等于毁掉入生最后一页。因此,我珍惜今天的~分一秒,因为它们将一去不复返。我无法把今天存入银行,明天再来取用。时间像风一样不可捕捉。每一分一秒,我要用双手捧住,用爱心抚摸,因为它们如此宝贵。垂死的人用毕生的钱财都无法换得一口生气。我无法计算时间的价值,它们是无价之宝。
  I will live this day as if it is my last.
  今天是我生命中的最后一天。
  I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember 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.
  我憎恨那些浪费时间的行为。我要摧毁拖延的习性。我要以真诚埋葬怀疑,用信心驱赶恐惧。我不听闲话、不游手好闲,不与不务正业的人来往。我终于醒悟到,若是懒惰,无异于从我所爱之人手中窃取食物和衣裳。我不是贼,我有爱心,今天是我最后的机会,我要证明我的爱心和伟大。
  I will live this day as if it is my last.
  今天是我生命中的最后一天。
  The duties of today I shall fu1fill 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.
  今日事今日毕。今天我要趁孩子还小的时候,多加爱护,明天他们将离我而去,我也会离开。今天我要深情地拥抱我的妻子,给她甜蜜的热吻,明天她会离去,我也是。今天我要帮助落难的朋友,明天他不再求援,我也听不到他的哀求。我要乐于奉献,因为明天我无法给予,也没有人来领受了。
  I will live this day as if it is my last.
  今天是我生命中的最后一天。
  And if it is my last, it will be my greatest 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, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.
  如果这是我的末日,那么它就是不朽的纪念日,我把它当成最美好的日子。我要把每分每秒化为甘露,一口一口,细细品尝,满怀感激。我要每一分钟都有价值。我要加倍努力,直到精疲力竭。即使这样,我还要继续努力。我要拜访更多的顾客,销售更多的货物,赚取更多的财富。今天的每一分钟都胜过昨天的每一小时,最后的也是最好的。
  I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.
  假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。如果不是的话,我要跪倒在上苍面前,深深致谢。
  procrastination:耽搁,拖延
