ing-bottom: 56.25%;">

現在已經是午夜了！我正準備迎接新年的到來！

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

我知道這樣很興奮！新的一年就像一個乾淨的石板。

A: Fresh start to accomplish any dreams, objectives and goals.

可以重新書寫你的夢想，目標和方向。

A: Do you have a New Year's resolution?

你有新年願望嗎？

B: 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.

我在想這件事，但是我從來沒有堅持過我的願望並且實現它。比如去年，我加入了一個健身房，但是隻去了兩詞。

A: 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.

是的，我知道你的意思。這就是爲什麼我今年我的打算更加簡單。也許就像和長時間沒見的朋友聚在一起一樣，或者做一些自願的工作。

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

聽起來很合理。我們應該聚在一起在時代廣場看投球。

A: Sure, as long as you don't try to kiss me at midnight!

這樣很好，只要你不要在午夜試着親我就好了！

B: Well, we can't break tradition! It's bad luck!

嗯，我們不能打破常規！這樣會倒黴的！
