“今日事今日畢”，是一句自古流傳下來(lái)的諺語(yǔ)，提醒并激勵(lì)人們要珍惜時(shí)間。明日復(fù)明日，明日何其多。本文則從一個(gè)新的角度詮釋了這句名言。
　　Never Put off until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
　　We have been told that never put off until tomorrow what you can do today since childhood. However, there are still many people who like putting off the things that should do today until tomorrow.① They have no plans for their work and their time. As a result, they will not accomplish their goals in the end. For example, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finish my homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morning so that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning I was not able to get to school in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher. It taught me a lesson. From then on I made a determination that I would never put off anything important until the next day. Please remember: Work today, for you don’t know how much you may be hindered tomorrow. Seize the present day，cherish every minute you have now and trust the tomorrow as little as possible.②

　　行文點(diǎn)評(píng)
　　本文可分為三個(gè)部分，首尾部分相互呼應(yīng)，是對(duì)中心論點(diǎn)的概括和總結(jié)，第二部分中，作者通過(guò)自己的親身經(jīng)歷來(lái)說(shuō)明拖延時(shí)間的糟糕后果。
　　本文短小精悍，首尾呼應(yīng)，脈絡(luò)清晰。以諺語(yǔ)作題目并在開(kāi)篇重復(fù)題目，使主題更加突出鮮明。舉例子是常用的說(shuō)理方式，使得文章更加具體生動(dòng)。文章結(jié)尾處連用兩個(gè)祈使句不僅增強(qiáng)了語(yǔ)氣，也升華了主題。
　　好文妙譯
　　今日事今日畢
　　我們從小就接受“今日事今日畢”的教育。然而許多人還是喜歡把今天的事情推遲到明天去做。他們從不計(jì)劃安排工作和時(shí)間，結(jié)果導(dǎo)致他們最終無(wú)法完成他們的目標(biāo)。例如，有一個(gè)星期日，我踢完足球比賽后感覺(jué)太累了，直到深夜也沒(méi)完成家庭作業(yè)。我想第二天早點(diǎn)起來(lái)到學(xué)校，以便上課前完成作業(yè)。但是第二天，由于交通堵塞我沒(méi)能及時(shí)趕到學(xué)校，我受到了老師的懲罰。這件事情給了我一個(gè)教訓(xùn)，從那時(shí)起，我就痛下決心絕不把重要的事情推遲到第二天去做。請(qǐng)記?。航裉熳霭?，因?yàn)槟銦o(wú)法預(yù)知明天又會(huì)有什么樣的干擾。抓住今天，珍惜你現(xiàn)在擁有的每一分鐘，盡可能少依賴明天。
