只争朝夕
make the most of every minute
只争朝夕,汉语成语,意思是指“力争在最短的时间内达到目的”,其中朝(zhāo)夕表示“早晨和晚上”。出自《投梭记·却说》:
今朝宠命来首锡,掌枢衡只争旦夕。
毛泽东主席在《满江红·和郭沫若同志》中也曾用到:
天地转,光阴迫。一万年太久,只争朝夕。
权威用例
创造,神州大地自信自强、充满韧劲,一派只争朝夕、生机勃勃的景象。
I inspected 13 provincial-level regions and was glad to see people carefully implementing coronavirus prevention and control measures, racing against time to resume work and production, and sparing no efforts to advance innovation. Everywhere were vibrant scenes of confident, resilient people making the most of every minute.
