If our time is usefully employed,it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time, remember this;let them remember that all hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a bank-note;and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold ; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time.如果我们的时间使用得当,就能生产出有用和重要的东西,在市场上卖得一定的价钱;或者它能丰富我们的经验,增长我们的才干,使我们在时机适当时能挣到钱。因此,毫无疑问时间可以转化为金钱。让那些对浪费时间不以为然的人记住这一点。让他们记住,浪费一小时等于丢了一张钞票,而利用一小时就等于得到许多金银。这样,在他们同意浪费时间之前或许会三思而后行。
Moreover, our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains,no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. A day or an hour wasted is therefore so much life forfeited. Let us bear this in mind,and waste of time will appear to us in the light of a crime as culpable as suicide itself.此外,我们的生命无非就是我们的时间,因此消磨时间也就是一种自杀。一想到死我们会感到震撼,因而不遗余力、不怕麻烦、不惜代价以求保全生命。可是我们却往往认为损失一个钟头或者一天时间是无关紧要的,而忘记了生命就是我们生活的每一小时、每一天的总和。因此,浪费一天或一个小时就是丧失一天或一小时的生命。让我们记住这一点,这样就会把浪费时间看作一种罪过,跟自杀一样应该受到谴责。
