odds and ends的翻译?
In these days, much of the profit of a business - sometimes the whole of its success - depends on the use of the odds and ends. The odds and ends are various small things. They are left over when the main thing is produced. Yet they have a real value of their own. All kinds of big businesses have their odds and ends. In a big meal factory, for example, there are countless odds and ends - bones and hair, to name only a few. The bones are made into glue; the hair is made into rope. If these odds and ends were to be looked down upon, it would mean a big difference in the amount of the profit of the factory.
We students have our own odds and ends. Take time for instance. Every one of us has the same amount of it. Our success or failure depends on the use of our time. But we use the time more or less in the same way. We have our regular day’s work: certain periods of classes, or several hours for review. And that ends a day. But what about its odds and ends - the odd moments? Many giants in science or art have made huge successes for themselves in the world mainly because they have made best use of their odd moments. Take Thomas A. Edison. While he was earning his living by tapping out messages, he did not allow his odd moments to slip by. He thought, he planned, and he tried between messages. And he succeeded in working out a lot of things entirely new to the world. By fully using his odd moments, he provided valuable wealth for the modern world. Think of the odd quarter of an hour in the morning before breakfast, the odd half an hour after dinner, and the odd moments in the washroom or between classes. Remember the chances to read or think that come now and again during the day. Make full use of them, and you may find, as many big businesses have found, that the real profit in using the odds and ends.

如今,经商利润的大部分——有时候甚至是其全部的成功——取决于善用“边角料”.这些“边角料”可能是各种小东西.在生产出主要产品后它们就被剩下来了.然而它们确有其真实的价值.在所有的行业中都有它们的存在.例如,在一家大型骨粉厂,就有着数不清的各种“边角料”——骨头和毛发(to name only a few不必翻译).骨头可以做成浆糊而毛发则用以制造绳子.要是这些小东西遭到忽视,那就意味着工厂将会损失掉一大笔利润.
我们学生同样有自己的“边角料”.就拿时间来说,每个人拥有同样的时间.成功与否取决于对于时间的运用.然而我们运用时间的方式方法大同小异.做每天的日常工作：定期上课,亦或是用数小时复习功课,然后一天就这样过去了.可是那些“边角料”——剩余的时间又怎么了呢?许多科学天才、艺术巨匠之所以在这个世界上占有一席之地主要是因为他们充分利用了各自的剩余时间.以托马斯爱迪生为例,在他还以打字便条维持生计的时候,都不曾允许自己浪费一丁点儿空闲时间.他思考着,计划着,还抽空进行尝试.后来他成功地发明了许多前所未有的新事物.凭借着充分利用空余时间,爱迪生给现代世界带来了珍贵的财富.想一想早餐前那短短的十五分钟,午餐后闲暇的半个小时,甚至是上厕所和课间的休息.注意利用一天中时而出现的空余来阅读和思考.充分利用每一分钟,你会发现个中真正的益处,正如商业巨子们所发现的一样.
