Happy New Year!

: It’s almost midnight! We are about to start a brand new year!

都快午夜了！我们马上就要迎来崭新的一年了！

I know it’s so exciting! A new year is always like a clean slate.

我知道，太激动了！新年总是像一张白纸。

: fresh start to accomplish any dreams, objectives and goals.

新的开始，去实现任何梦想、目标和计划。

Do you have a New Year’s resolution?

你有新年决心吗？

I was thinking about it, but I’m never able to keep my New Year’s resolution. Last year for example I joined a gym and only went twice.

我考虑过，但从来没能坚持下来。比如去年我办了张健身卡，只去了两次。

Yeah I know what you mean. That’s why this year I am keeping things more simple. Maybe like getting together with friends I haven’t seen in a long time, or doing some volunteering work.

是啊，我懂你的意思。所以今年我打算简单点。比如跟好久没见的朋友聚聚，或者做点志愿者工作。

That seems reasonable. We should get together and watch the ball drop in Times Square.

听起来挺合理的。我们应该一起去看时代广场的落球倒数。

Sure, as long as you don’t try to kiss me at midnight!

好啊，只要你别在午夜时试图亲我就行！

Well, we can’t break tradition! It’s bad luck!

哎呀，可不能打破传统！那会不吉利的！
