jasonk Posted August 14, 2006 at 03:36 AM Report Posted August 14, 2006 at 03:36 AM Hi everybody, I'm new to learning cantonese, but am starting to have a good grasp of it, i recently came across the following article: I can read that the title says "Life story" (something like that), but am having diffucilty understanding some words in the passage, so it would be great if someone could type out all the stuff in this scanned page, so I can simply copy and paste the words that I don't know into a chinese dictionary software that I have. Thanks very much to whoever may offer this help! Jason Kilborne Quote
ameliasj Posted August 14, 2006 at 05:40 AM Report Posted August 14, 2006 at 05:40 AM 人生小語 常言道:“時間就是金錢”。 時間和金錢,既可類比,也不可類比。今天節吃儉用,省下來的,明天可以充裕闊綽。金錢可以周轉,時間則不可。明天朋友過境,十年未見,重逢機會失之交臂,因爲明天的日程針插不下,今天的時間不能挪作明天用。 銅板可借可還,但時間天天清、天天結。一天二十四小時沒有彈性,該了的事沒了,就是願付天高的利息,也無濟於事。 最好的計時器不是名厰鐘錶,是孩子的身高和體重,何時醒覺,原來最小的一個,也抱不住、摟不住,就知道時間的不可追。 梁振英 香港特區政府行政會議成員 Quote
