划词翻译

I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action. Doubt I will bury with faith. Fear I will dismeber with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not. Where there are idle hands I will linger not. Where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.

The duties of today I shall fulfill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I.Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.

And if it is the last, it will be my great monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute; I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief.

【参考译文】

我非常憎恨那些浪费时间的行为。我要用行动来戒除拖延,我要以真诚埋葬怀疑,我要用信心消灭恐惧。我不听闲话,我要远离不游手好闲者,我不会与不务正业的人来往。我终于醒悟到,若是懒惰,无异于从我所心爱的人手中窃取食物和衣裳。我不是贼,我有爱心,今天是我最后的机会,我要证明我的爱心和伟大。

今日事今日毕。今天我要趁孩子还小的时候,多加爱护,明天他们将离我而去,我也会离开。今天我要深情地拥抱我的妻子,给她甜蜜的吻,明天她会离去,我也是。今天我要帮助落难的朋友,明天他不再求援,我也听不到他的哀求。今天我要勤于工作,乐于奉献,因为明天我无法给予,也没有人来领受了。

如果这是我的末日,那么它就是不朽的纪念日。我把它当成最美好的日子。我要把每分每秒化为甘露,一口一口,细细品尝,给予感激。我要使每一小时都有它的作用,我要使每一分钟都产生它的价值。我要加倍努力,直到精疲力竭。
