英语四级晨读美文：把今天当成生命中最后一天
I will live this day as if it is my last. I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not; Where there are idle hands I will linger not ; where ther are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。我憎恨那些浪费时间的行为。我要改掉拖沓的坏习惯。我要以真诚埋葬怀疑，用信心驱赶恐惧。我不听闲话、不游手好闲，不与不务正业的人来往。我终于领悟到。若是懒惰，无异于从我所爱之人手中窃取食物、衣裳和温情。我不是贼，我有爱心，今天是我最后的机会，我要证明我的爱心和伟大。
I will live this day as if it is my last.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。
The duties of tadoy I shall fulfill tosay. Today I shall fondle my children shile they are young; tomorrow theywill be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses;tomorrow she willbe gone, and so will I. Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow will no longer cry for help, nor will I hesr his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrowI will have nothing to give,and there will be gone to receive.
今曰事今日毕。今天我要趁孩子还小的时候，多加爱护，明天他们将离我而去，我也会离他们而去。今天我要深情地拥吻我的妻子，明天她会离去，我也一样。今天我要帮助落难的朋友，明天他不再会向我求援，我也将听不到他的哀求。今天我要乐于奉献，因为明天我将无法给予，也将无人领受了。
I will live this day as if it is my last.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。
And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will trade only for someing of value. I will labor hander than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.
如果今天是我的末日，那么它将是不朽的纪念日，我将使之成为我一生中最好的一天。我要把每分每秒化为甘露，一口一口，细细品尝.满怀感激。我要每一分钟都有价值。我要加倍努力，直到精疲力竭。即使这样，我还要继续努力。我要拜访更多的顾客，销售更多的货物，赚取更多的财富。今天的每一分钟都胜过昨天的每一小时，最后的也是最好的。
I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shalll fall to my knees and give thanks.
我将把今天当作生命末日来度过。如果不是的话，我要跪倒在上苍面前，深深致谢。
