欢迎收听Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。在今天节目的开始，我想谢谢大家的到来，我很高兴你们在新的一周又来到了这个网络英语电台节目。我希望这个节目伴随你一切顺利，充实和快乐地生活，同时这里的内容可以帮助你去思考，去成长，去做你自己。

 

Everyone has a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.

 

每个人都有一个银行，它的名字叫"时间"。每天早晨，它在你的帐户里存入86,400秒钟。不管你是否很好地利用了这笔时间，每天晚上它会照例把这笔时间作为遗失注销。它没有设置余额，也不允许透支。

 

Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.

 

每天它会为你开一个新帐户，每晚它会把该天的记录全部删除。如果你没有好好地利用当天的这笔时间，那么损失由你自己承担。

 

There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today: "Seize the day!"

 

没有回头路，也不能向"明天"借时间。你必须以今天的时间"存款"为基础生活在现在。有效地投资这笔时间以便从中获取有关健康，快乐及成功最大的收益。时钟正在旋转。好好地利用今天："抓住每一天!"

 

So, you see, time is important, make the most of it. After all, life is either a daring adventure or nothing!

 

你看，时间挺重要的吧，一定要好好利用它。毕竟，生活要么是大胆的尝试，要么就什么都没有。

 

This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to have your time. And remember time waits for none.

 

这里是Faith主持的Faith轻松电台。珍惜你所拥有的每一分钟!你要更加珍惜它，因为你与某个特殊的朋友一起在分享它，这位朋友特殊到拥有你的时间。记住：时间不等人。
