Time Never Returns
Small machines have been invented to measure(测量) time. They are clocks and watches. The invention was a great success.
Today almost everyone wears a watch on his arm to tell the time. Same watches also tell the date. Men, women and children wear them. Now good watches are almostcompletely correct. Repairs and oiling are seldom necessary.
A clock wakes us. The clock at the office records the time we arrive at work, and the one in the kitchen tells us when dinner is ready. We try to be on time forconferences, we try to save time for important things and not to waste time on stupid things, and we pay for time to park on a busy street. People often say that time is money . Truly we can create wealth by using time in a proper way.
Time passes rapidly, and it never returns. We want to be always young, but that's impossible. That is the magic of time.We can't catch time. Time isdifficult to control and easy to waste. In fact, time is dangerous. If we don’t control it, it will control us. So we must become the master of time, not its servant.
Time is fair to everyone. Let's make good use of our time! Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.
【汉语翻译】
时间永不复返
人们已经发明(invent)测量时间的小机器(machine)。它们是钟表(clock)和手表。这项发明是一个伟大的成功。
如今几乎每个人都在胳膊上戴着一块手表来看时间，有些也可看日期(date)。男女老少都戴手表。现在好的手表几乎是完全准确的(completely correct)，很少需要修理(repair)或上油。
钟表可以叫醒我们。办公室的钟表记录我们上班时到达的时间，厨房的钟表告诉我们什么时间饭做好了。我们尽力及时参加会议(conference)，我们尽力为重要事情节省时间而不把时间浪费(waste)在愚蠢的事情上，在繁忙的街道我们为停车的时间付费。人们常说“时间就是金钱”。确实我们可以通过合理利用时间而创造财富(create wealth)。
时间快速地(rapidly)逝去，永不复返。我们想要永远年轻，但那是不可能的，这就是时间的魅力(magic)。我们无法抓住时间。控制(control)时间是困难的(difficult)，但浪费时间很容易。实际上，时间是危险的。如果我们不去控制时间，它将控制我们。因此我们必须成为时间的主人(master)而不是它的仆人(servant)。
时间对每个人都是公平的(fair)，让我们好好利用(make good use of)我们的时间吧！今天能做的事不要拖延(put off)到明天（今日事今日毕）!?
