Never to Delay
Since our childhood, we have been told never to delay, just as the saying goes, “Never put off what you can do today until tomorrow.” 1
Frankly speaking, in our daily life many people tend to refuse to do things immediately owing to their indolence. Whether the thing is easy or not, they would rather enjoy their free time instead of going at it. Therefore, there are many people who like to put off things they should do today until tomorrow. As they are always behind schedule, there will be more and more things for them to address with each passing day. Faced with great pressure to fix all of them at a time, they usually can’t accomplish their goals in the end. 2
I agree that we should never put off what we can do today until tomorrow. 3 We should work hard today for we don’t know what will happen and how much we may be hindered tomorrow. Maybe there will be more important things to do. So seize the present and don’t make excuses to put off until tomorrow what we are supposed to do today. 4
絕不拖延
我們從小就被告知絕不要拖延，正如諺語(yǔ)所說(shuō)：“今日事今日畢?！?/p>
坦率地說(shuō)，在日常生活中，因?yàn)閼卸?，許多人往往不愿意即刻做事。不管容易還是困難，他們寧愿享受著悠閑而不是著手去做。因此，有很多人就喜歡把今天應(yīng)該做的事推到明天去做。由于他們總是落后于預(yù)定計(jì)劃，日復(fù)一日，他們每天都會(huì)有越來(lái)越多的事需要處理。面臨著一次要處理所有事情的巨大壓力，他們通常無(wú)法最終完成目標(biāo)。
絕不把今天能做的事推到明天，我同意這種說(shuō)法。我們就應(yīng)該今天努力去做，因?yàn)槲覀儾恢烂魈鞎?huì)發(fā)生什么或者明天我們會(huì)遇到什么阻礙。也許明天會(huì)有更重要的事。所以，要抓住當(dāng)下，不要找任何借口推脫今天該做的事。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. As they are always behind schedule, there will be more and more things for them to address with each passing day.
在英文中，“處理”問(wèn)題或事情可以用多個(gè)動(dòng)詞來(lái)表示，本句用了address一詞，文中還出現(xiàn)了do, go at it和fix。要注意使用同義詞或近義詞來(lái)表達(dá)相同的意思，力求表達(dá)方式豐富多樣。
2. Faced with great pressure to fix all of them at a time, they usually can’t accomplish their goals in the end.
本句采用了faced with...這一過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)，在此處表示原因。過(guò)去分詞（短語(yǔ)）、現(xiàn)在分詞（短語(yǔ)）等非謂語(yǔ)的使用，會(huì)使英文句子顯得更加緊湊。
