“Do you know the time?” Time is a very complex thing. We’re surrounded by it, yet all too often we feel like we don’t have enough of it. 时间是个非常复杂的东西，它无处不在，又常常让我们感觉不够用。 Sometimes, we take it for granted. At other times, we wish we had more. 有时候，我们没把时间当回事儿，但另外一些时候，我们又希望时间能再多一点儿。 When we’re busy or having fun, time seems to pass quickly. When we’re bored, or moving slowly — for example, driving at constant speed across a monotonous landscape — it seems to pass at glacial speed. 繁忙或开心的时候，时间总是过得很快。无聊或移动缓慢的时候，比如开车匀速驶过一片单调乏味的景致时，时间似乎又像冰川挪动速度一样慢。 The average tempo of daily life and work has been dramatically sped up by advances in IT, communications, transportation, and productivity.

This year went by so quickly.” Older people say this kind of thing frequently. 年轻人从来不会说：“哇，今年过得好快！”只有上了岁数的人才常把这种话挂在嘴边。 Our individual perceptions about the passage of time are influenced by a variety of internal and external factors. As a result, our feelings about the passage of time vary considerably, despite the fact that time’s passage on a clock is a very consistent, measurable phenomenon. 我们对时间流逝的认知受到很多内部和外部因素的影响，因此，时间的推移尽管在钟表上是一件非常统一而且可以衡量的事情，但它带给我们的感受却大相径庭。 In a word,time is very important for everyone.In our daily life.
