"An idle youth, a needy age," so goes an old saying.
古话说:“少小不努力,老大徒伤悲。”
If we idle and waste our time when we are young,
我们年轻时若游手好闲虚掷光阴,
one day when we are old, we will regret having achieved nothing.
老来就会后悔一事无成。
Moreover, when we are idle,
而且,我们无所事事时,
we will be very vulnerable to the devil's temptation and go astray.
很容易被恶魔诱惑而误入歧途。
Indeed, we should always try to keep ourselves busy
的确,我们应始终保持忙碌,
because the devil finds work for idle hands to do.
因为小人闲居会做坏事。
