It is universally acknowledged that the best preparation for tomorrow is doing our best today, which means that a promising future is awaiting us only if we value our time and try our best actively. Actually, in the age of rampant anxiety, seizing the priceless time is the key to get rid of the anxiety and feel calm, thus striding forward steadily.
大家都知道“对明天最好的准备就是在今天做到最好”这句格言。这句格言的意思是只有我们珍惜时间并且尽全力积极地做到最好，我们将拥抱一个美好前程。事实上，在这个焦虑蔓延的时代，抓住无价的时间便是摆脱焦虑、获得平静的关键，从而更加坚定地向前大步迈进。
The complaint we usually hear is that time goes by too fast, while a large number of people have the tendency of procrastination. To see why, more often than not the reason might be found in their attitudes towards time. Beyond doubt, without clearly understanding the importance of time and taking action right now, a goal is only a wish and a task will never be finished. For us college students, for instance, if we aim to achieve all-round development, we have to make full plans on our study and skills, and most importantly, to make the utmost of time and implement our plans with might and main.
我们经常听到有人抱怨时间过得太快了，但同时也有许多人有拖延症的倾向。究其原因，经常是因为人们对事件的态度不端正。毫无疑问，没有清楚认识到时间的重要性并且即刻行动，目标仅仅只是一个愿望，任务也不会被完成。例如，对于我们大学生，如果我们想要获得全面发展，我们必须制定全面的学习与技能方面的计划，并且最重要的是，充分利用好时间，尽全力落实计划。
Similarly, it is also imperative for our country to seize present chances to upgrade overall national strength. Especially when the international situation is changeable, it is of great significance for the country to carry forward the spirit of self-reliance and hard struggle. Only in this way the country will have the capability to bring happiness to individuals and help preserve peace around the world.
类似的，对国家来说，抓住现有的机会提升国家综合实力也是非常有必要的。尤其是在国际局势风云变化的当下，弘扬自力更生、艰苦奋斗的精神非常重要。唯有如此，这个国家才有能力为国民带来幸福，为世界维护和平。
As far as I am concerned, we must keep it in mind that the time and our efforts will pay off. Therefore, I recommend that instead of just waiting anxiously, we all take immediate action and do our best today to prepare for our bright tomorrow.
在我看来，我们必须记住时间和努力终将有回报。因此，让我们马上行动起来，用竭尽全力的今天，为美好的明天做准备，而不是仅仅焦虑地等待明天。
