A：Did you read this? It says that the number one new years resolution make is to spend more time with friends and family.你讀這個了嗎?那上面說新年最重要的計劃就是要多花些時間和朋友和家人多相處。

B：Why would that be funny?那個有意思嗎?

A：Well, think about it. We are a society that is always on the go, not because we have to, but because we want to.好好想想。我們是個繁忙的社會，不是因為我們必須那么繁忙，而是我們想那樣繁忙。

B：Why?為什么?

A：We work hard and spend less time at home because we are trying to provide for our family with goods and services that are usually unnecessary.我們勤奮工作，在家呆的時間少，因為我們總是在努力給家里提供更多非必須的物品和服務.

B：I don’t agree, but anyways, I think you should start thinking of a new year’s resolution yourself.我不同意那種觀點，無論如何，我想你應該仔細想下新年的計劃.

A：What’s the point? We always make a new year’s resolution and by February we will have forgotten about it. It’s pointless.要點是什么?我們總是做計劃，到了2月我們就全忘了。那是沒有意義的.

B：Well then maybe you should resolve to sticking to your goals and objectives.好的，你應該下決心堅持你的目標和目的.

A：What about you? Your gym bag is gathering dust and you still have brand new running shoes that are yet to be jogged in.你呢?你的運動包都已經落灰了。那雙全新的跑鞋你還沒有穿過。

B：Well, I would go if you kept your promise of going to the gym with me everyday!好吧，如果你許諾每天都和我去體院館，我就會去。

A：Yeah, yeah, whatever.好吧，怎樣都行。
