And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow's deeds while standing in today's path? Can I place tomorrow's gold in today's purse? Can tomorrow’s child be born today? Can tomorrow's death cast its shadow backward and darken today's joy? Should I concern myself over events which l may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.

我該怎么辦？忘記昨天，也不要癡想明天。明天是一個未知數(shù)，為什么要把今天的精力浪費(fèi)在未知的事上？想著明天的種種，今天的時光也白白流逝了。企盼今早的太陽再次升起，太陽已經(jīng)落山。走在今天的路上，能做明天的事嗎?我能把明天的金幣放進(jìn)今天的錢袋里嗎？明日瓜熟，今日能蒂落嗎？明天的死亡能將今天的歡樂蒙上陰影嗎？我能杞人憂天嗎？明天和明天一樣被我埋葬。我不再想它。

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．

This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday's sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be? Is there a purpose in nature? Is this my day to excel?

這是我僅有的一天，是現(xiàn)實(shí)的永恒。我像被赦免死刑的囚犯，用喜悅的淚水擁抱新生的太陽。我舉起雙手，感謝這無與倫比的一天。當(dāng)我想到昨天和我一起迎接日出的朋友，今天已不復(fù)存在時，我為自己的幸存，感激上蒼。我是無比幸運(yùn)的人，今天的時光是額外的獎賞。許多強(qiáng)者都先我而去，為什么我得到這額外的一天？是不是因?yàn)樗麄円汛蠊Ω娉?，而我尚在途中跋涉？如果這樣，這是不是成就我的一次機(jī)會，讓我功德國滿？造物主的安排是否別具匠心？今天是不是我超越他人的機(jī)會？
