第 156 课:The Time Message 时间信息-2

Control! 控制!

Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. 时间是危险的。你不控制它,它就会控制你。

If you don't make it work for you, it will work against you. You must become the master of time, not the servant. 你不让它为你工作,它就会成为你的对头。你必须做它的主人而不是佣人。

Study hard and play hard is an old proverb, but is still makes sense. 刻苦学习,开心玩耍是句老话,但依然有意义。

You have plenty of time for classes, study, work, and play if you use your time properly. 如果合理安排时间就会有足够的时间上课、学习、玩耍。

It is not how much time you allocate for study that counts but how much you learn when you do study. 重要的不是分配了多少时间学习,而是学习时你到底学到了多少。

Too much wasted time is bad medicine. The more time you waste, the easier it is too continue wasting time. 浪费太多时间就跟吃了治不好病的药一样。时间浪费得越多,就越容易继续浪费时间。

Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can't break. It becomes a drug. 很快无所事事就成了改不掉的习惯,就会上瘾。

When this happens, you lose your feeling of accomplishment and you fall by the wayside. A full schedule is a good schedule. 如果这样,你会失去成就感,半途而废。安排得满满的时间表就很好。

Some students refuse to hear the time message. They refuse to accept the fact that college life demands some degree of time control. 有的学生拒绝听取时间。信息他们不愿意接受大学生活要求一定程度的时间控制这一事实。
