2.Time is money
As the taxi came to a screeching（尖叫） halt at a traffic light, I asked the driver, “Do you agree that ‘Time is money‘?”
“Well, it‘s a very common saying. Who will care so much about that?” the driver answered.
“Look, the digits in the meter（仪表） are still running when the car has stopped, “I pointed at the meter.
“Oh, yes. You‘ve got a point here. In this case, time is money for both of us.” added the driver.

时间就是金钱
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？”
“哦，这是一个普遍说法。在这个问题上，谁会在意那么多呢？”司机回答说。
“看，在车已经停止的情况下，里程表上的数字还在跑。”我指着里程表说。
“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。

Looking very unhappy, a poor man entered a doctor‘s consulting-room.
“Doctor,” he said, “you must help me. I swallowed a penny about a month ago.”
“Good heavens, man!” said the doctor. “Why have you waited so long? Why don‘t you come to me on the day you swallowed it?”
“To tell you the truth, Doctor,” the poor man replied, “I didn‘t need the money so badly then.”
