Distant Time by Rabindranath Tagore
I know not from what distant time
thou art ever coming nearer to meet me.
Thy sun and stars can never keep thee hidden from me for aye.
In many a morning and eve thy footsteps have been heard
and thy messenger has come within my heart and called me in secret.
I know not only why today my life is all astir,
and a feeling of tremulous joy is passing through my heart.
It is as if the time were come to wind up my work,
and I feel in the air a faint smell of thy sweet presence.（这是泰戈尔写的）
1.整点表达法：如果时间是整点，就用“钟点数+o'clock”这种形式来“报时”.有时也可只读“钟点数”，而不说o'clock.如：It's ten(o'clock)a.m.now.现在是上午十点.2.顺读法：按“钟点数+分钟数”的顺序直接读出来的方法叫顺读法.如：4:35读作 four thirty-five,9:58读作nine fifty-eight,5:04读作five O four,11:00读作eleven o'clock等.3.逆读法：按“分钟数+to/past+钟点数”的顺序读时间的方法叫逆读法.A：分钟数不超过30时，用“分钟数+ past +钟点数”表示“几点几分”.如：10:20读作：twenty past ten 注意：①分钟数是15时，一般不说“fifteen past +钟点数”而要说“a quarter past +钟点数”.②分钟数是30时，一般用逆读法“half past +钟点数”.B：分钟数超过30时，用“分钟数+to+钟点数”，其中“分钟数”为60减去原分钟数，“钟点数”为“下一个钟点数”，表示“差几分几点”.如：6:54读作six to seven(six=60-54,seven =6+1) 9:45读作：fifteen to ten(a quarter to ten) at,in and on都可以与time or date 相连构成短语，但是一般来说：1、at 5 o'clock--at后常与时间连接 2、in july/in 1979--in后常跟月份和年代 3、on Monday/on May 5th--on后常跟星期几或表示一个具体的日子。

摘自"Crazy English Reader" Deadline suddenly,i have to confront the deadline of love,so unpreditable ,totally unstoppable. it feels like a car-wreck,and a run-away driver。
her words"i will be right back"beating in my heart,but still she is gone. when exactiy is "right back"? how do you define the time,a second,a hour,day,week,month,a year。how long is "right back"? for eons animals have tread a slow path,following the natural steps,their spirits intertwined with the body. now,man's transportation is too fast. the body moves but the soul is left behind. we try to free ourselves in convenience but we only imprison the soul. shorten the time',shorten the deadline',but the time saved can't be stored. in the end the only thing apparent is our loneliness. the lights of the city cloud the stars above. while our ancestors looked up to the stars in wonder they now lie unreachable to our gaze in the mountains or by the seaside you can still see。
.. i saw a shooting star there once i thought to make a wish. but found tears in my eyes. i keep thinking about you i keep thinking about you. assuming you would appear if i miss you hard enough but no.no the only thing that returned is my memory of you. i know it's time to leave this box,but i can't find the courage to make the jump. 译文： 突然地， 我必须面对我爱情的期限， 无法预料，所以不能阻止， 听起来有点像出车祸的感觉， 而且肇事者逃逸了…… 明明说"马上回来！" 但是从此不见人影. "马上"到底是多久？ 时间有单位，年，月，日，时，分，秒…… 但"马上"到底是多久？ 千百万年来， 动物之所以没太大改变的秘诀是—— 他们以自然的步伐前进， 不疾不徐， 所以灵魂能跟上他们的脚步， 而人类的交通工具太快， 常常飙走的只是身体， 把灵魂留在原地…… 我们创造自以为便利的东西来囚禁自己， 缩短时间， 缩短期限， 而省下来的时间无法储存， 只能用来更清楚地感觉， 那一切的寂寞与孤单…… 城里的光让我们看不到星辰， 原始人抬头即得的乐趣， 在都市里却遥不可及. 在山上，在海边，星星满天. 幸运的遇到流星，该许愿的时候， 却发现自己泪流满面…… 我不断重复我的思念， 我不断重复我的思念， 以为靠着思想能让你回到我身边， 并没有，并没有…… 唯一回到我身边的， 是我对你的思念…… 该离开这个框框了， 但又没有勇气跳出去……。
Time,such a precious word,It gives us the gift of moments. Moments are so beautiful that can never be recaptured. But those moments turn into memories that can never be recaptured. We are left with footprints in our minds and hearts. Longing to recapture time,hoping it will last forever. To be left with the reality of the passing of time; So precious and so fleeting. We can't bring it back or relive,only be grateful that it happened. So cherish every moment,never taking anything for granted,Because some day,that will be moment you'll want to relive. Love with all you heart. Let your loved ones know how much you care. Smile even when you want to cry. Live life to the fullest,Because you never know when your time will pass with the wind.

《YOUTH》
Youth is not a time of life,it is a state of mind,it is not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips and supple knees. It is a matter of the will,a quality of the imagination,a vigor of the emotions,it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60,more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows merely by the number of years,we grow old by deserting our ideas.
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry,fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16,there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders,the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope,cheer,courage and power from men and from infinite,so long as you are young.
When the aerials are down,and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,then you've grown old,even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up,to catch waves of optimism,there's hope you may die young at 80.
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进去压倒苟安，如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线倒塌，锐气被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，几十年方二十，实已垂老矣；然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉得年轻。
