This Day, Yesterday, Tomorrow 今天,昨天,明天 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? 我要如何利用这最后、最宝贵的一天呢?首先,我要把一天的时间珍藏好,不让一分一秒的时间滴漏。我不为昨日的不幸叹息,过去的已够不幸,不要再赔上今日的运道。 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 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. 时光会倒流吗?太阳会西升东落吗?我可以重温并纠正纠正昨天的错误吗?我能比昨天年轻吗?一句出口的恶言,一记挥出的拳头,一切造成的伤痛,能收回吗?不能!过去的永远过去了,我不再去想它。 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. 我该怎么办?忘记昨天,也不要痴想明天。明天是一个未知数,为什么要把今天的精力浪费在未知的事上?想着明天的种种,今天的时光也白白流逝了。企盼今早的太阳再次升起,太阳已经落山。走在今天的路上,能做明天的事吗?我能把明天的金币放进今天的钱袋里吗?明日瓜熟,今日能蒂落吗?明天的死亡能将今天的欢乐蒙上阴影吗?我能杞人忧天吗?明天和昨天一样被我埋葬。我不再想它。
