Americans think a great deal about time.From childhood they learn to value time.As children,they are taught to be on time to go to school,to do work and to do everything.When they are having a good time,they say that time flies.When a person is dying,they say he is living on borrowed time.
美國(guó)人的時(shí)間觀念很重要,從他們的童年開始就有很強(qiáng)的時(shí)間觀念,但他們還是小孩的時(shí)候,就開始按時(shí)上學(xué)做作業(yè),并處理好每天的事情,他們每天過的很充實(shí),是他們的時(shí)間觀念比較強(qiáng),當(dāng)一個(gè)人死亡的時(shí)候,他們就是說他是生活在借來的時(shí)間里.
Time is money.Time is knowledge.Time is everything in America.A working American has to work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week.This is the working time. In his spare time,he also works hard for more money.Even Saturday and Sunday are filled with activities.In the street you can hardly see a man who walks slowly. They walk very fast.In fact,they are running.
在美國(guó)時(shí)間就是金錢,時(shí)間就是知識(shí),時(shí)間就是一切,一個(gè)有工作的美國(guó)人每天努力工作8個(gè)小時(shí)或一周工作40個(gè)小時(shí),這是工作的時(shí)間,在他的業(yè)余時(shí)間里,他仍然努力掙更多的錢,甚至星期六和星期天也是安排的滿滿的.在大街上很難看到一個(gè)走的很慢的人,他們走的都很快,事實(shí)上他們都在和時(shí)間賽跑.
