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.
美国人的时间观念很重要,从他们的童年开始就有很强的时间观念,但他们还是小孩的时候,就开始按时上学做作业,并处理好每天的事情,他们每天过的很充实,是他们的时间观念比较强,当一个人死亡的时候,他们就是说他是生活在借来的时间里.
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.
在美国时间就是金钱,时间就是知识,时间就是一切,一个有工作的美国人每天努力工作8个小时或一周工作40个小时,这是工作的时间,在他的业余时间里,他仍然努力挣更多的钱,甚至星期六和星期天也是安排的满满的.在大街上很难看到一个走的很慢的人,他们走的都很快,事实上他们都在和时间赛跑.
