The Value of Time Nobody knows what time is like, for we cannot see it, nor can we touch it. Tim　　The Value of Time　　Nobody knows what time is like, for we cannot see it, nor can we touch it. Time is abstract, which we can only imagine in our mind.　　But we do know that time passes very quickly. Some students, however, do not know the value of time, nor do they know how to make the best use of it, for they waste it in going to films, playing games and doing other useless things. Why do we go to school early in the morning? Why do trains run so fast? Why do most people prefer taking buses instead of walking? The answer is very simple: we wish to save time because time is precious.　　Today we are living in the twentieth century. We know that time is life. When a person dies, his time has ended. Since life is short, we must devote our time and energy to our studies so that we may be able to serve our country and the people. But since time is invisible, we often neglect it. Lazinss. is the thief of time, for lasiness not only brings us a lot of harm, it also brings us failure. If it is necessary for us to do some work today, let us do it today and not leave it until tomorrow. Remember that time is more valuable than money.　　作者強調了時間的珍貴性，并勸告每個人應盡可能多地利用時間多做些事情，不要養成懶惰的習慣。論點雖然有些道理，但不夠全面，將看電影等娛樂放松活動當做無用的浪費時間之事，似乎有些偏激。　　時間的價值　　誰也不知道時間是什么樣子，因為我們既看不見它，也摸不著它。時間是抽象的東西，我們只能憑腦子去想像它。　　但是我們的確知道時間流逝得很快。然而，有些學生卻不知道時間的價值，也不知道如何充分利用時間，他們把時間浪費在看電影、玩游戲和其他一些無聊的事情上。我們為什么一大早要去上學呢?火車為什么跑得那么快?為什么大多數人愿乘汽車而不愿步行辦事呢?答案非常簡單：我們想節約時間，因為時間非常寶貴。　　如今我們生活在20世紀，我們知道時間就是生命。當一個人去世的時候，他所有的時間便用完了。既然生命短暫，我們必須把時間和精力用于學習，以便為祖國和人民服務；但由于時間是看不見的，我們經常忽視它。懶惰是時間的盜賊，它不但給我們帶來許多危害，也會使我們失敗。如果今天我們有什么要做的工作，讓我們就把它做完，不要拖到明天。記住時間比金錢更寶貴。
