13、ney“. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money intoour pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either produce some useful and important piece of workwhich will fetch its price in the market,

14、or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as toenable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time isconvertible into money. Let those who think nothing o

15、f wasting time remember this; let them remember thatan hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a banknote; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so muchsilver or gold; and then they will probably think twice befo

16、re they give their consent to the loss of any part oftheir time.1、諺語說：“時間就是金錢?！边@句話的意思是，一時片刻只要用得有效， 都會讓我們的口袋增添一些錢。如果我們的時間使用得當(dāng)，就能生產(chǎn)出有用 的、重要的產(chǎn)品，在市場上賣得一定的價錢；就能充實經(jīng)驗，增長才干，等 到適當(dāng)?shù)臅r機來臨時，我們就能掙得金錢。因此，毫無疑問，時間可以轉(zhuǎn)化 為金錢。讓那些對浪費時間滿不在乎的人記

17、住這一點。讓他們記住，浪費一 小時等于損失一張鈔票，而利用一小時就等于得到若干金銀。這樣，他們想 浪費時間時或許會三思而后行。2.Moreover, our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We areshocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains,

18、 no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But weare too often indifferent to loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days andof the hours we live. A day or an hour wasted is ther

19、efore so much life forfeited. Let us bear this in mind, andwaste of time will appear to us in the light of a crime as culpable as suicide itself.2、再說，我們的生命無非就是我們活在人世的時間 。因此，浪費時間也 就是一種自殺。我們想到死，便驚恐不已，因而不惜一切努力、麻煩和費用 來保全我們的生

20、命。可是，我們對于損失一個小時或者一天的時間卻往往漠 不關(guān)心、無動于衷，忘記了我們的生命原本就是我們生活的每一天、每一小 時的總和。因此，浪費一天或一小時也就是喪失一天或一小時的生命。讓我 們記住這一點，這樣就會把浪費時間看作一種罪過，跟自殺一樣應(yīng)該受到懲 罰。3.There is a third consideration which will also tend to warn us against loss of time. Ou

21、r life is a brief spanmeasuring some sixty or seventy years in all, but nearly one half of this has to be spent in sleep; some yearshave to be spent over our meals; some over dressing and undressing; some in making journ

22、eys on land andvoyages by sea; some in merry-making, either on our own account or for the sake of others; some incelebrating religious and social festivities; some in watching over the sick-beds of our nearest and deares

23、trelatives. Now if all these years were to be deducted from the term over which our life extends, we shall findabout fifteen or twenty years at our disposal for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willinglywast

24、e a single moment of his life. “It is astonishing“ says Lord Chesterfield, “that anyone can squander awayin absolute idleness one single moment of that portion of time which is allotted to us in this world. Know thetrue
