I will live this day as if it is my last.

假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。

And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?

我要如何利用這最后、最寶貴的一天呢?首先，我要把一天的時間珍藏好，不讓一分一秒的時間滴漏。我不為昨日的不幸嘆息，過去的已夠不幸，不要再賠上今日的運道。

seal up 把..封起來，密封

[si:l ?p]

container n. 集裝箱;容器

[k?n’te?n?]

Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday’s wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.

時光會倒流嗎?我可以糾正昨天的錯誤嗎?我能扶平昨日的創傷嗎?我能比昨天年輕嗎?不能!過去的永遠過去了，我不再去想它。

I will live this day as if it is my last.

假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。

And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe?

我該怎么辦?忘記昨天，也不要癡想明天。明天是一個未知數，為什么要把今天的精力浪費在未知的事上?

I will live this day as if it is my last.

今天是我生命中的最后一天。

This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday’s sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today’s hours are but a bonus, undeserved.

這是我僅有的一天，是現實的永恒。我像被赦免死刑的囚犯，用喜悅的淚水擁抱新生的太陽。我舉起雙手，感謝這無與倫比的一天。當我想到昨天和我一起迎接日出的朋友，今天已不復存在時，我為自己的幸存，感激上蒼。我是無比幸運的人，今天的時光是額外的獎賞。

reprieve v.給...帶來緩解

gratitude n.感謝，感激

I will live this day as if it is my last.

今天是我生命中的最后一天。

Each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the tomorrow, for who can trap the wind? I will make them priceless!

我珍惜今天的一分一秒，因為它們將一去不復返。我無法把今天存入銀行，明天再來取用。時間像風一樣不可捕捉。我無法計算時間的價值，它們是無價之寶。
