纯正地道美语(外教讲解)324：新的一年即将到来

（单词翻译）

　　A: It's almost midnight! We are about to start a brand new year!
现在已经是午夜了！我正准备迎接新年的到来！
B: I know it's so exciting! A new year is always like a clean slate¹.
我知道这样很兴奋！新的一年就像一个干净的石板。
A: Fresh start to accomplish² any dreams, objectives³ and goals.
可以重新书写你的梦想，目标和方向。
A: Do you have a New Year's resolution⁴?
你有新年愿望吗？
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.
我在想这件事，但是我从来没有坚持过我的愿望并且实现它。比如去年，我加入了一个健身房，但是只去了两词。
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。这就是为什么我今年我的打算更加简单。也许就像和长时间没见的朋友聚在一起一样，或者做一些自愿的工作。
B: That seems reasonable. We should get together and watch the ball drop in Times Square.
听起来很合理。我们应该聚在一起在时代广场看投球。
A: Sure, as long as you don't try to kiss me at midnight!
这样很好，只要你不要在午夜试着亲我就好了！
B: Well, we can't break tradition! It's bad luck!
嗯，我们不能打破常规！这样会倒霉的！
