When you are waiting in front of a theatre or at the train terminal, you will
realize how important punctuality is. Punctuality is really a virtue, especially in a modern life. Perhaps if everybody was
punctual, there would be less suffering and sorrow. Punctuality is the main constituent of good character. A person who is on
time for his appointment shows his real consideration for others. On the other hand, a person who is always late shows his
selfishness and thoughtlessness and he is not the person that is worthy to be friends with. To be or not to be punctual is a
habit. So when we are young, we should try to be punctual every time and never be late, for it is much more easily acquired
in youth than when we are older.
当你在前面等着剧院或在火车码头，你会
实现准时多么重要。守时是真正的美德，尤其是在现代生活。也许如果大家都
准时，就可以减少痛苦和悲伤。守时是良好品格的主要组成部分。一个人是谁
时间对他的任命显示出他真正为他人考虑。另一方面，一人谁是表明他都迟到
自私和轻率，他不是人是值得与朋友。生存还是不被准时是
习惯。所以，当我们年轻，我们应该努力做到准时每一次，绝不能迟到，因为它是更容易获得
青年时比我们老。
