THE VALUE OF TIME
Katharine Sun
To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realaize the value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
時間的價值
凱瑟琳·桑陳採霞譯
要想知道一年的價值，
那就去問期末考試不及格的學生。
要想知道一個月的價值，
那就去問生了早產兒的母親。
要想知道一週的價值，
那就去問週報的編輯。
要想知道一小時的價值，
那就去問等待見面的戀人。
要想知道一分鐘的價值，
那就去問誤了火車、汽車或者飛機的人。
要想知道一秒鐘的價值，
那就去問大難不死的人。
要想知道一毫秒的價值，
那就去問奧運會獲得銀牌的人。
時間不等人，
你擁有的每一刻都要珍惜。
