   Unit 6 Time sure flies, doesn't it? 时光飞逝,不是吗?


  这是朋友见面聊天时,最常听到的一句话,用来形容“时间过得真快”,有点“岁月不饶人”的意味。
  A: It's quite cold this early morning, isn't it?
  甲:今天清晨好冷,不是吗?
  B: Yeah. It's already December, you know.
  乙:是啊。你可知现在已是12月份了。
  A: Time sure flies, doesn't it?
  甲:时光飞逝,不是吗?
  类似用语
  Time passes very quickly. 时间过得好快。
  Time flies like an arrow. 光阴似箭。
  Time and tide wait for no man. 岁月不饶人。
  百宝箱
  既然知道时间的宝贵,我们就不应轻易地浪费光阴,因此常以下列两句话来劝勉他人:
  Time is precious. Don't goof 1 off your time. 时间宝贵,不应浪费。
  An idle youth, a needy 2 age. 少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲。
