2017下半年翻譯考試中級(jí)口譯模擬試題（41）

　【中譯文】

　　鐘表上的秒針一下一下地移動(dòng)，每移動(dòng)一下就是表示我們的壽命已經(jīng)縮短了一部分。再看看墻上掛著的可以一張張撕下的日歷，每天撕下一張就是表示我們的壽命又縮短了一天。

　　因?yàn)闀r(shí)間即生命。沒有人不愛惜他的生命，但很少人珍視他的時(shí)間。如果想在有生之年做一點(diǎn)什么事，學(xué)一點(diǎn)什么學(xué)問，充實(shí)自己，幫助別人，使生命成為有意義，不虛此生，那么就不可浪費(fèi)光陰。這個(gè)道理人人都懂，可是很少人能積極不懈地善為利用他的時(shí)間。

　　【參考譯文】

　　Our life is shortened by every tick of the second hand of the clock. Each page peeled away from the wall calendar marks a bygone day. Time is life, while life is cherished by everybody, but time, by few. How can we achieve something in our brief life? To learn some knowledge! To replenish ourselves! To help those in need! To add significance to our life! Time should not be squandered if we want to make our life meaningful (to get a lot out of our life). This principle is accepted by all, but wisely observed by very few.
