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 shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, yesterday’s defeats, yesterday's aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?
我要如何利用這最后、最寶貴的一天呢?首先,我要把一天的時間珍藏好,不讓一分一秒的時間滴漏。我不為昨日的不幸嘆息,過去的已夠不幸,不要再賠上今日的運道。
Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday's wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.
時光會倒流嗎?太陽會西升東落嗎?我可以糾正昨天的錯誤嗎?我能扶平昨日的創(chuàng)傷嗎?我能比昨天年輕嗎?一句出口的惡言,一記揮出的拳頭,一切造成的傷痛,能收回嗎?
不能!過去的永遠過去了,我不再去想它。
