LESSON 53 WHAT THE CLOCK SAYS
第五十三課 鬧鈴的告誡
"Tick," the clock says, "tick, tick, tick!"
"滴"鐘響了"滴滴滴！"
What you have to do, do quick:
你要做什么，那就趕緊做：
Time is gliding fast away;
時間在快速流逝
Let us act, and act to-day.
趕緊行動，就是現在
If your lesson you would get,
上課，那么你就會有收獲
Do it now, and do not fret:
不要煩惱，就是現在
That alone is hearty fun
僅僅這個就已有趣
Which comes after work is done.
工作做完，下面是什么？
When your mother says,"Obey,"
當你媽媽說"服從"
Do not loiter, do not stay;
不要虛度，不要停滯
Wait not for another tick;
不要等待下一秒
What you have to do, do quick.
你要做的，趕緊去做
DO JUSTLY
公正地做
Kindness and love to all I owe,
善良，愛至于我所擁有的
No other debt does God allow;
上天絕不允許其他罪過
Kindness and love, then, I must pay
接受善良和愛，我必須回報
To every body, every day.
獻給每個人，每天都如此
And when I borrow, or I buy,
當我借取或者購買
Must pay again; for God will try,
必須再次回報；這是上天贈與的
By His own law, my works and ways.
以它的規則，我的成果和方式
Oh, may I serve Him all my days;
啊，愿我一直為他服務
Be always honest, just, and true;
永遠誠實，公正，真誠
And what I've said, take care to do.
我說了什么，認真去做
