謝謝大家的回應

我當初是把句話 當作

Never put off [what you can do the day after tomorrow] till tomorrow

所以翻成 '後天事,今日畢'

看到雜誌的翻譯時(今日事,後天畢) 一直有些困惑

不知道是雜誌翻譯錯誤 還是 我誤解了意思?

有人可以說說 Mark Twain的本意嗎?

順便附上原文

Mark Twain once said, "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the
day after tomorrow." This famous author was using humor to talk about a
problem many of us have.

p.s This is an article on procrastination.


再次請教大家 謝謝 :)
