答案 This is a funny and intriguing cartoon. In the picture, a boy is trying his best to push a clock hand forward, because he is looking forward towards the future. While the old man is trying to push the clock hand backward, hoping that he could have a chance to make up for his losses in the past, or relive his happy old days. Yet, neither of them will succeed as time and tide are the immaterial objects which we cannot influence—neither speed up nor slow down, neither add to nor diminish—it is an imponderably valuable gift. Simple as the picture is, the symbolic meaning of the cartoon is deep and profound. Life is short. We often regret being unable to acquire enough knowledge because of the fact the time at our disposal is limited. Therefore, we should make full use of our time to do useful things. As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve society and our nation in the future. Young people, sometimes, may make poor use of time. They spend their time oversleeping, drinking or gambling. They are also apt to put off what they should do at present, as they think that there will be enough time to learn, and enough time to become wise before they are old. However, time can never be retrieved. As they grow older, these people will find that they are not able to learn as fast as they could in their youth. Therefore, only by taking care of the present hours, will the future days take care of themselves.
