(To those who think time is not worth to cherish)
(獻給那些不珍惜時間的人)
It’s as fast as a glance of lightning, 像一條閃電那樣快,
As little as a drop of rain. 小得就像一滴雨點兒。
But sometimes people say, 但有時候人們會說,
It’s as slow as an old, old snail, 它就像很老、很老的蝸牛,
Or even, a long, long tail. 甚至一條長長的、長長的尾巴。
But whatever it’s like, 不管它像什么,
You must understand: 你一定要懂得:
One second, one minute, 一秒、一分、
One hour, one day, 一小時、一日、
One year, one century, 一年、一個世紀,
Every one of them, 每一個時間,
Has only one chance. 只有一次存在的機會。
It goes, but never comes. 他們一去不復返。
It leaves, but never stops. 他們只顧走,但不會回頭。
You see how time is precious, 所以你看他們多珍貴,
How can you let them away? 你怎能讓他們逃之夭夭?
Or even a rainy day? 甚至,一個陰雨天?
