1. Please explain a time proverb in your culture.
A time proverb shows that time is important, so we should cherish the time and should not miss good timing.
Examples：
・時は人を待たず
Time does not wait for us.
・時は得難く失いやすし
It is difficult to get time, and easy to lose it.
2.What do the following proverbs mean:
・Time is money.
Time is important, so we must not waste it same way as money.
・A stitch in time saves nine.
The longer you leave a problem, the more difficult to solve it.
=Better safe than sorry./Forewarned is forewarned.
・There's no time like the present.
It is the best chance to do something.
Now is only the time.
・Let's meet at 4, if I'm not there by 5, leave without me at 6, and I will be there at 7.
I don' t know the meaning, but I guess that the proverb means time passes so quickly that we think.
