特别广播英语第 160 课：The Time Message 时间信息-6

Message 7. Study first - fun later. 信息7：先学习，后娱乐。

You will enjoy your fun time more after you have completed your study responsibilities. So, where possible, schedule your study hours in advance of fun activities. 完成学习任务之后再玩会更加愉快。所以只要可能，把学习时间安排在娱乐之前。

This is a sound principle to follow, so keep it in mind as you prepare your first schedule. 这是要遵从的合理原则，所以在准备第一个日程表的时候就牢记在心。

Message 8. Study some each class day. 信息8：每个学习日都学到一些东西。

Some concentrated study each day is better than many study hours one day and nothing the next. 每天集中学一会儿比一天学几个小时、第二天又不要学强。

As you work out your individual schedule, attempt to include a minimum of two study hours each day. 做个人日程表时，尽量每天安排至少两个小时学习。

This will not only keep the study habit alive but also keep you up to date on your class assignments and projects. 这不仅让你保持学习习惯，还使你了解学习任务和计划。

Few beginning freshmen can control their time effectively without a written schedule, so why kid yourself into thinking you don't need one? You do. 很少大学新生能够没有日程表就有效地控制时间，所以干嘛骗自己以为你不需要时间表？你需要。

Later on, when you have had more experience and you have the time-control habit, you may be able to operate without it. 到后来，更有经验，养成了控制时间的习惯以后，你可能就不需要了。

Of course the schedule is only the first step. Once you have it prepared, you must stick with it and follow it faithfully. 当然日程表只是第一步。一旦把这个准备好了，必然坚持，忠实遵循。

You must push away the many temptations that are always present or your schedule is useless.得推开那些不断出现的诱惑，否则你的日程表就没用了。

Your schedule will give you control only if you make it work. 只有让日程表起作用，你才能用它支配时间。
