First, let me tell you a story.
Kevin2000, a 17-year-old high school senior is a boy like some of us who like putting off things until tomorrow. He often says: ” I‘ll do it tomorrow.” One Friday evening, as usual, he put off his homework and went to sleep.
He dreamed time passed like a shooting arrow. Now it was 2030,he saw a man wearing a shabby jacket full of patches, wandering in the street. Kevin 2000 found the man liked familiar. Suddenly he realized the man was none other than 47-year-old Kevin, himself. He couldn‘t believe it! Why could he become so terrible?
Then Kevin 2030 told him it was because he always puts off things until tomorrow. In the end he had accomplished nothing.
Shocked by his dream, Kevin 2000 woke up. He realized never put what one can do today till tomorrow. Because the future is now.
Yes, you may say it is just a story. The plot maybe exaggerated. However you may find your shadow in the story. But why do some people always leave things till tomorrow? To them, time is never to be used up. If today ends, there is still tomorrow.
In my opinion, Future is somewhat a mystery, for nobody can tell what his future will be. You may win the lottery and become a millionaire overnight and you may have an accident and become paralyzed. So future is just like a butterfly, when you extend your arms and try to get it, are you sure you can get it.
William Shakespeare once said:” On the great clock of time, there is only one word-that is ‘now‘. Now means today. Now is more practical than future. If you grasp today firmly, you‘ll catch your future. Maybe everyone knows the famous slogan of Nike Company, “Just do it!” I‘m going to add one word to it, “Just do it now!”(英语小故事带翻译 www.lyy5.com)

首先,让我告诉你一个故事。
Kevin2000,一名17岁的高中生一样,是我们中的一些谁喜欢把事情拖到明天男孩。他常说:“我会做的明天。”一个星期五晚上像往常一样,他推迟了他的功课,去睡觉。
他梦想像射击时间箭头通过。现在,它是2030年,他看见一名男子身穿破旧的外套充分的补丁,在街上游荡。凯文2000年发现该名男子喜欢熟悉。突然,他意识到该男子不是别人,其他47岁的凯文,他自己。他简直不敢相信!他为什么能变得如此可怕?
然后,2030年凯文告诉他那是因为他总是把事情拖到明天。最后,他一事无成。
他的梦想感到震惊,凯文2000醒了。他意识到从来没有向什么人可以做今天到明天。因为未来就是现在。
是的,你可以说这只是一个故事。情节也许夸大了。但是你会发现故事中的你的身影。但是,为什么有些人总是留到明天的事情呢?对他们来说,时间是永远用不完。如果今天结束,还有明天。
在我看来,未来是有点神秘,因为没有人能预知他的未来会如何。你可以赢得彩票,一夜之间成为百万富翁,你会发生事故,成为瘫痪。因此,未来就像一只蝴蝶,当你把你的武器,并得到它,你相信你能得到它。
莎士比亚曾经说过:在伟大的时间面前,只有一个字是‘现在‘。现在意味着今天。现在比未来实际的多。如果你牢牢把握今天,你能抓住您的未来。也许大家都知道耐克公司著名的口号,“只管这样做!”我要补充一点它,“在现就做”
