Time is money
时间就是金钱
As the taxi came to a screeching halt at a traffic light, I asked the driver, "Do you agree that 'Time is money'?"
当出租车在遇到红灯急刹车时,我问司机:“你同意‘时间就是金钱’这种说法吗?”
"Well, it's a very common saying. Who will care so much about that?" the driver answered.
“哦,这是一个俗语。在这个问题上,谁会在意那么多呢?”司机回答说。
"Look, the digits in the meter are still running when the car has stopped," I pointed at the meter.
“看,车都停了,里程表上的数字还在跑呢。”我指着里程表说。
"Oh, yes. You've got a point here. In this case, time is money for both of us." added the driver.
“哦,是的。你说的挺有道理的。在这种情况下,时间对我们俩来说都是金钱。”司机补充说。
