=>When
he forgot to send his girlfriend a birthday
card, his friend reminded him:
“Send it now;
it’s better late
than never.”
當他忘記寄生日卡片給他的女朋友時,他的朋友提醒他,「晚了一點總比都不做好」。
英文中另外還有幾個類似的句型:
“It’s better to
have tried and failed than never to have
tried at all.”
嘗試而失敗,總比沒有嘗試好。
這句話可以用在當一個人失敗的時後,勉勵他努力過了就好,結果不是最重要的。
“Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid of
only standing still.”不怕走得慢,只怕停著不走。這句話用於提醒人不進則退。
