The time is now 能不能作為壹個單獨的句子 譯為 時間就是現在
當然可以。

具體譯法須參考語境,上面的例子可以譯為「就是現在」。
也可以強調Now,將其提前,如MLK.Jr(小馬丁路德金)的Dream Speech中有如下壹段:
Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy;
now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice;
now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood;
now is the time to make justice a reality for all God’s children.
