TO THE VIRGINS, TO MAKE MUCH OF TIME
　　
　　 Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
　　
　　Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
　　
　　Old time is still a-flying:
　　
　　And this same flower that smiles today
　　
　　Tomorrow will be dying
　　
　　The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
　　
　　The higher hes a-getting,
　　
　　The sooner will his race be run,
　　
　　And nearer he''s to setting.
　　
　　That age is best which is the first,
　　
　　When youth and blood are warmer;
　　
　　But being spent, the worse, and worst
　　
　　Times still succeed the former.
　　
　　Then be nor coy, but use your time,
　　
　　And while ye may, go marry:
　　
　 For having lost but once your prime,
　　
　　You may for ever tarry.
　　
　　
　　[ 英 ] 罗伯特 . 赫里克
　　
　　
　　
　　要摘玫瑰得趁早，
　　
　　岁月在催人老：
　　
　　花儿今天在含笑，
　　
　　明天就会残凋。
　　
　　太阳是天上华灯，
　　
　　它正冉冉升空。
　　
　　越高越快到终点，
　　
　　越高越近黄昏。
　　
　　豆蔻年华最美好，
　　
　　青春热血方盛。
　　
　　虚度光阴每况下，
　　
　　时间永不停留。
　　
　　抓紧时机别害羞，
　　
　　早嫁个意中人，
　　
　　青春一去不回头
　　
　　蹉跎贻误一生。
　　


在英国，9只在电视广告中的小飞猪一夜之间成为明星，它们因此被送到豪华的猪住所，享受隐退后的生活，并被保证永远不会被宰杀，所以没有成为咸肉之虞。

　 这条广告是苏里兹财务服务公司的广告片，在片子里，伴随着电影《633空军中队》主题音乐，小猪们沿着跑道加速快跑，最后飞了起来。它们因此俘获了英国人的心。

　 广告播出后，打给苏里兹财务服务机构询问小猪的福利的电话淹没了询问其公司财务服务的电话，使得这间公司不得不设立一个专门的"热线"回答关于小猪的问题。

　 该财务公司的一位发言人表示，这些小猪不太可能复出再表演一次飞行的壮举。她说："它们非常享受泥地里的小猪生活。"

　 Nine flying pigs who became overnight stars in Britain after featuring in a television commercial have moved into luxury retirement quarters with a promise they will never end up as bacon.

　 Britons took the porkers to their hearts after seeing them charge down a runway and take off to the theme tune from the film "633 Squadron" in an ad for Zurich Financial Services.

　 The number given out by Zurich for queries about its financial products was inundated by calls about the pigs'' welfare, forcing the company to set up a separate "hogline."

　 A spokeswoman for Zurich said it was unlikely the pigs would come out of retirement for an encore of their flying feat. She said: "They''re happy as pigs in mud."
