Mandarin course hong kong – Today things to do today

Mandarin Lesson

There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? I’d say, way too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here’s why.

有句古老的西班牙諺語:明天常常是一周中最忙碌的一天。有多少次我們曾把夢想托付給明天?要我說,太多次。夢想不應等待,也經不起等待。我們必須馬上行動。道理如下:

Yǒu jù gǔlǎo de xībānyá yànyǔ: Míngtiān chángcháng shì yī zhōu zhōng zuì mánglù de yī tiān. Yǒu duōshǎo cì wǒmen céng bǎ mèngxiǎng tuōfù gěi míngtiān? Yào wǒ shuō, tài duō cì. Mèngxiǎng bù yìng děngdài, yě jīng bù qǐ děngdài. Wǒmen bìxū mǎshàng xíngdòng. Dàolǐ rúxià:

 

1. Tomorrow is not promised

Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.

明天不一定到來

沒人願意談論死亡,但現實是——死亡必然到來。哪一天或哪一刻沒人能說得清。所以,我們真正擁有的是今天。不要因未實現夢想抱憾而終。夢想,或偉大或平凡,不論怎樣,從即刻起,作出追逐每個夢想的決定。

Míngtiān bù yīdìng dàolái
Méi rén yuànyì tánlùn sǐwáng, dàn xiànshí shì——sǐwáng bìrán dàolái. Nǎ yītiān huò nǎ yīkè méi rén néng shuō de qīng. Suǒyǐ, wǒmen zhēnzhèng yǒngyǒu de shì jīntiān. Bùyào yīn wèi shíxiàn mèngxiǎng bàohàn ér zhōng. Mèngxiǎng, huò wěidà huò píngfán, bùlùn zěnyàng, cóng jíkè qǐ, zuòchū zhuīzhú měi gè mèngxiǎng de juédìng.

 

2. The world is waiting on your gift

I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can duplicate. Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don’t deprive the world of your gift. It’s the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.

世界需要你

我知道,可能你不相信,但是世界的確需要你!是的,就是你!你在這個世界上獨一無二,地毬上無人可以替代。當然,有的人可能歌唱得好,但是,他們的風格卻總是有別於你的。有的人擅長寫作,但是他們卻永遠不能站在你的視角來描述事物。不要對世界吝惜你的天賦。它是我們生存需要的氧氣。因此,髮掘並利用自己的天賦,承擔起改善自己和他人生活的責任。

Shìjiè xūyào nǐ

wǒ zhīdào, kěnéng nǐ bù xiāngxìn, dànshì shìjiè díquè xūyào nǐ! Shì de, jiùshì nǐ! Nǐ zài zhège shìjiè shàng dúyīwú’èr, de qiú shàng wúrén kěyǐ tìdài. Dāngrán, yǒu de rén kěnéng gēchàng de hǎo, dànshì, tāmen de fēnggé què zǒng shì yǒu bié yú nǐ de. Yǒu de rén shàncháng xiězuò, dànshì tāmen què yǒngyuǎn bùnéng zhàn zài nǐ de shìjiǎo lái miáoshù shìwù. Bùyào duì shìjiè lìnxī nǐ de tiānfù. Tā shì wǒmen shēngcún xūyào de yǎngqì. Yīncǐ, fà jué bìng lìyòng zìjǐ de tiānfù, chéngdān qǐ gǎishàn zìjǐ hé tārén shēnghuó de zérèn.

3. Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true

You can dream about writing the great American play all you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. In other words, dreams don’t work unless you do. They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!

如果跨不齣第一步,夢想將終歸是夢想

寫齣一部偉大的美劇是你的最大夢想,但是,如果不拿起筆,這部偉大的美劇將永遠不會問世。你夢想找到治癒癌癥的良方,但是,如果你不學習,不用髮現良方所需的工具和手段來武裝自己,那僅是紙上談兵。換句話說,除非身體力行,否則夢想終歸是夢想。實現夢想要求你別再做白日夢,而是朝著夢想努力。所以,馬上行動吧!
