!! As we grow older, time seems to pass more quickly than when we were young. Why? When we are young, a year is a large percentage of our lives. However, for an eighty-year-old person, one year may be only one percent of his or her lifetime.
(隨着年齡增長,時間似乎比我們年輕時過得更快,為甚麼呢?當我們年輕時,一年是我們生活中很大部分。然而,對於一個八十歲的人來說,一年可能只是他一生的百分之一。)
!! In 1390, Chaucer wrote in The Clerk's Tale: "For though we sleep or wake, or rome, or ryde, Ay fleeth the tyme, it nil no man abyde."
(一三九○年,喬瑟在詩集《文員的故事》中寫道:“無論我們睡覺或醒來,或在羅馬,或在騎馬,但時光轉瞬即逝,沒有人能守得住。”)
