!! As we grow older, time seems to pass more quickly than when we were young. Why? When we are young, a year is a large percentage of our lives. However, for an eighty-year-old person, one year may be only one percent of his or her lifetime.

（隨着年齡增長，時間似乎比我們年輕時過得更快，為甚麼呢？當我們年輕時，一年是我們生活中很大部分。然而，對於一個八十歲的人來說，一年可能只是他一生的百分之一。）

!! In 1390, Chaucer wrote in The Clerk's Tale: "For though we sleep or wake, or rome, or ryde, Ay fleeth the tyme, it nil no man abyde."

（一三九○年，喬瑟在詩集《文員的故事》中寫道：“無論我們睡覺或醒來，或在羅馬，或在騎馬，但時光轉瞬即逝，沒有人能守得住。”）
