時(shí)間的箴言

　　You may have been exposed to this idea before, but this time try to hear. There is a message that is trying to reach you, and it is important that it get through loud and clear. The message?

　　你以前或許有過這種想法，但現(xiàn)在不妨再聽一聽。有一條箴言要送給你，而且重要的是，這條箴言響亮而清楚地傳送到你的耳際。什么箴言?

　　Time management! Time is elusive and tricky. It is the easiest thing in the world to waste -- the most difficult to control. When you look ahead, it may appear you have more than you need. Yet it has a way of slipping through your fingers like quicksand. You may suddenly find that there is no way to stretch the little time you have left to cover all your obligations. For example, as a beginning student looking ahead to a full term you may feel that you have an oversupply of time on your hands. But toward the end of the term you may panic because time is running out. The answer?

　　管理時(shí)間 時(shí)間既讓人難于把握，又善于捉弄人。世界上最容易的是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，最困難的是把握時(shí)間。當(dāng)你向前看，時(shí)間似乎多得超過了需要。不過，它會(huì)像流沙一樣從手中悄然流逝。你可能突然發(fā)現(xiàn)，就是最高效率地利用剩下的時(shí)間，也不可能完成所有的任務(wù)。例如，一個(gè)剛開學(xué)的學(xué)生覺得自己手中的時(shí)間十分充裕，但將近期末才著了慌，因?yàn)闀r(shí)間將盡。怎么辦?

　　Control! Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. If you don't make it work for you, it will work against you. You must become the master of time, not the servant.

　　掌握時(shí)間 時(shí)間是危險(xiǎn)的。你不去控制它，它就會(huì)控制你。如果你不讓它為你工作，它就會(huì)跟你對(duì)著干。要做時(shí)間的主人，而不是奴隸。

　　Study hard and play hard is an old proverb, but it still makes sense. You have plentyof time for classes, study, work, and play if you use your time properly. It is not how much time you allocate for study that counts but how much you learn when you do study.

　　要學(xué)就努力學(xué)，要玩就痛痛快快地玩。這是一句古諺，但意義深遠(yuǎn)。如果使用時(shí)間合理，你就會(huì)有足夠的時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)、工作和玩耍。分配多少時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)不是最重要的，關(guān)鍵是學(xué)到了多少東西。

　　Too much wasted time is bad medicine. The more time you waste, the easier it is to continue wasting time. Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can't break. It becomes a drug. When this happens, you lose your feeling of accomplishment and you fall by the wayside. A full schedule is a good schedule

　　嚴(yán)重浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，就像吃了不能治病的藥一樣。越浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，越容易繼續(xù)浪費(fèi)。很快，無所事事的習(xí)慣像毒品一樣戒都戒不掉。一旦形成這個(gè)局面，你就會(huì)喪失成就感，事事半途而廢。一個(gè)完整的計(jì)劃才是好計(jì)劃。

　　Some students refuse to hear the time message. They refuse to accept the fact that college life demands some degree of time control. There is no escape. So what's the next step? If you seriously wish to get the time message, this passage will give it to you. Remember ?it will not only improve your grades but also free you to enjoy college life more.

　　有些學(xué)生拒絕聽時(shí)間的箴言，他們不想接受這個(gè)事實(shí)：大學(xué)生活需要某種程度的時(shí)間控制。否則那肯定是在劫難逃了。下一步怎么辦?如果你真想得到時(shí)間箴言，本章會(huì)講給你聽。記住它不但能提高成績(jī)，還能使你盡享大學(xué)生活。

　　Message 1. Time is valuable -- control it from the beginning. Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the beginning of the term and readjust it with each new project. Thus you can spread your work time around a little.

　　第一條時(shí)間是珍貴的，一開始就要控制它 時(shí)間就是今天，不是明天也不是下一周，學(xué)期之初就開始你的計(jì)劃，并按每個(gè)新的課程調(diào)整它，這樣可以把工作時(shí)間延長(zhǎng)一點(diǎn)。

　　Message 2. Get the notebook habit. Go and buy a pocket-size notebook. There are many varieties of these special notebooks. Select the one you like best. Use it to schedule your study time each day. You can also use it to note important dates, appointments, addresses, and telephone numbers. Keep it with you at all times.

　　第二條養(yǎng)成做筆記的習(xí)慣 去買一個(gè)袖珍筆記本，筆記本多種多樣，挑選一個(gè)最喜歡的，用它來計(jì)劃你每天的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間，也可用它來記錄約會(huì)、會(huì)見地址和電話號(hào)碼，隨時(shí)帶著它。

　　Message 3. Prepare a weekly study schedule. The main purpose of the notebook is to help you prepare a weekly study schedule. Once prepared, follow the same pattern every week with minor adjustments. Sunday is an excellent day to make up your schedule for the following week. Write in your class schedule first. Add your work hours, if any. Then write in the hours each day you feel youmust allocate for study. Keep it simple.

　　第三條準(zhǔn)備好周學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃 筆記本的主要作用是幫助你準(zhǔn)備周學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃。一旦制定好，以后每周就照此辦理，只做小部分調(diào)整。星期天是制訂下一周計(jì)劃的理想時(shí)間。先把課程表寫出來，如果有的話，寫寫你的工作時(shí)間。然后寫上每天你認(rèn)為分配給學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間，要簡(jiǎn)單明了。

　　Message 4. Be realistic. When you plan time for these things, be realistic. Don't underestimate. Overestimate, if possible, so that emergencies thatarise don't hang you up. Otherwise your entire routine may get thrown off balance while you devote night and day to crash efforts.

　　第四條要現(xiàn)實(shí) 當(dāng)你計(jì)劃上述事務(wù)時(shí)，要現(xiàn)實(shí)一些。不要低估。如果可能的話，把時(shí)間估計(jì)得長(zhǎng)一些，以便出現(xiàn)緊急情況時(shí)，不致耽擱你的工作。不然，這邊沒日沒夜全力以赴，那邊自己的整個(gè)作息規(guī)律被打亂了。

　　Message 5. Make study time fit the course. How much study time you schedule for each classroom hour depends on tour factors:(l) your ability, (2) the difficulty of the class, (3) the grades you hope to achieve, and (4) how well you use your study time. One thing, however, is certain: you should schedule a minimum of one hour of study for each classroom hour. In many cases, more will be required.

　　第五條讓學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間和課程協(xié)調(diào)起來 每節(jié)課分配多少學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間取決于四個(gè)因素：一是能力;二是課程難度;三是希望得到的分?jǐn)?shù);四是運(yùn)用學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間的效率。但有一點(diǎn)是明確的，最少為每節(jié)課分配一小時(shí)學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間。很多情況下，需要的更多。

　　Message 6. Keep your schedule flexible. A good schedule must have a little give so that special projects can be taken care of properly. Think out and prepare your schedule each week and do not become a slave to an inflexible pattern. Adjust it as you deem necessary.

　　第六條學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃的靈活性 好的課程表必須有一定的彈性，這樣遇到緊急情況時(shí)能應(yīng)付自如。每個(gè)星期都要仔細(xì)思考、做出時(shí)間安排。不要教條地去按課程表上的做，有必要時(shí)可以對(duì)課程表作些調(diào)整。

　　Message 7. Study first ?fun later. You will enjoy your fun time more after you have completed your study responsibilities. So, where possible, schedule your study hours in advance of fun activities. This is a sound principle to follow, so keep it in mind as you prepare your first schedule.

　　第七條先學(xué)習(xí)后娛樂 完成學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)之后，你可以更好地享受娛樂時(shí)光。所以，有可能的話，要把學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間放在娛樂之前，當(dāng)你準(zhǔn)備第一份時(shí)間規(guī)劃時(shí)，這是一項(xiàng)值得記憶在心的原則。

　　Message 8. Study some each class day. Some concentrated study each day is better than many study hours one day and nothing the next. As you work out your individual schedule, attempt to include a minimum of two study hours each day. This will not only keep the study habit alive but also keep you up to date on your class assignments and projects.

　　第八條每個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)日都要學(xué)點(diǎn)東西 每天集中精力學(xué)習(xí)一會(huì)兒，比一天學(xué)習(xí)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間而以后什么也不學(xué)要好得多。在你制定個(gè)人計(jì)劃時(shí)，每天最少應(yīng)該有兩個(gè)小時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間。這樣做既能保持學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣，又能使自己跟上課堂上的學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)和活動(dòng)

　　Few beginning freshmen can control their time effectively without a written schedule, so why kid yourself into thinking you don't need one? You do. Later on, when you have had more experience and you have the time-control habit, you may be able to operate without it. Of course the schedule is only the first step. Once you have it prepared, you must stick with it and follow it faithfully. You must push away the many temptations that are always present or your schedule is useless. Your schedule will give you control only if you make it work.

　　剛?cè)胄５男律绮蛔鲿嬗?jì)劃，就幾乎沒有人能控制住時(shí)間。因此，為何自己欺騙自己說不需要一個(gè)書面計(jì)劃呢?其實(shí)，你的確需要。等到以后你有了經(jīng)驗(yàn)并養(yǎng)成了掌握時(shí)間的習(xí)慣，你就不用寫日程表了。當(dāng)然，日程表僅僅是第一步，一旦做好了日程表，就要切實(shí)執(zhí)行。你一定要拋開很多誘惑，它們總是展現(xiàn)在你面前或者說明日程表無用。只有你讓你的日程表實(shí)施，它才會(huì)使你控制自我。
