Why would that be funny?

这有什么好笑的?

A
说话人 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.

你想想看,我们这个社会总是忙忙碌碌的,不是因为我们不得不这样,而是因为我们自己想要这样。

B
说话人 B

Why?

为什么?

A
说话人 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.

我们拼命工作,在家时间越来越少,就是想要给家人提供那些通常并不需要的商品和服务。

说话人 B

I don’t agree, but anyways, I think you should start thinking of a new year’s resolution yourself.

我不同意,不过话说回来,我觉得你自己也该想想新年目标了。

A
说话人 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.

有什么意义呢?我们总是定新年目标,到了二月就忘了,根本没用。

B
说话人 B

Well then maybe you should resolve to sticking to your goals and objectives.

那你或许该下定决心坚持你的目标和计划。

A
说话人 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.

你自己呢?你的健身包都积灰了,那双全新的跑鞋还没穿过呢。

B
说话人 B

Well, I would go if you kept your promise of going to the gym with me everyday!

你要是真能兑现每天陪我去健身房的承诺,我肯定去!

A
说话人 A

Yeah yeah whatever.

是是是,随便吧。
