A：Did you read this? It says that the number one new years resolution make is to spend more time with friends and family.你读这个了吗?那上面说新年最重要的计划就是要多花些时间和朋友和家人多相处。

B：Why would that be funny?那个有意思吗?

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。我们是个繁忙的社会，不是因为我们必须那么繁忙，而是我们想那样繁忙。

B：Why?为什么?

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.我们勤奋工作，在家呆的时间少，因为我们总是在努力给家里提供更多非必须的物品和服务.

B：I don’t agree, but anyways, I think you should start thinking of a new year’s resolution yourself.我不同意那种观点，无论如何，我想你应该仔细想下新年的计划.

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.要点是什么?我们总是做计划，到了2月我们就全忘了。那是没有意义的.

B：Well then maybe you should resolve to sticking to your goals and objectives.好的，你应该下决心坚持你的目标和目的.

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?你的运动包都已经落灰了。那双全新的跑鞋你还没有穿过。

B：Well, I would go if you kept your promise of going to the gym with me everyday!好吧，如果你许诺每天都和我去体院馆，我就会去。

A：Yeah, yeah, whatever.好吧，怎样都行。
