Book excerpt: Making New Year's Resolutions 用英語許下新年新希望 Part A: For Health and Fitness Richard and Suzanne are making New Year's resolutions together. 理查和蘇珊一起訂下新年目標。 (Richard = R ; Suzanne = S) R: I'm tired of being fat. Most of my clothes don't fit me anymore. S: I know the feeling. I'd like to lose some weight, too. R: Hey, why don't we make a change together? S: Do you mean like a New Year's resolution? R: Yes. Let's promise to get in shape. Maybe we can even join a gym. S: That's a good idea. We can also cut out junk food. R: Oh, that's going to be hard for me, but I promise to try. S: Great! It's time to treat our bodies better. Part A：身體健康和健美體態 理查：我受不了自己這麼胖，我大部分的衣服都穿不下了。 蘇珊：我懂這種感受，我也想要減重。 理查：嘿，我們何不一起做點改變呢？ 蘇珊：你是指像訂定新年目標那樣嗎？ 理查：對啊，我們來立下承諾要擁有健美的體態，或許我們還可以加入健身房。 蘇珊：好主意，我們也可以戒掉垃圾食物。 理查：噢，那對我來說會很難，但我保證會試試看。 蘇珊：太好了！該是更加善待我們身體的時候了。 Part B: For Finances Miranda and Robert are talking about their resolutions for the new year. 米蘭達和羅伯特正在討論他們的新年新希望。 (Miranda = M ; Robert = R) M: Guess what! I made a New Year's resolution to spend less money. R: Really? My resolution is to cut spending, too. M: Nice! What steps are you going to take? R: I have credit card debt. So, I cut all my cards to stop me from using them. M: You did that already? That's very brave of you. R: If I don't act right away, I will wait and may never take action. M: I see. Well, I plan to put half of my pay in the bank every month. R: That's very smart of you. Part B：財務方面 米蘭達：你知道嗎？我立下的一個新年願望是少花一點錢。 羅伯特：真的嗎？我的願望也是減少支出。 米蘭達：真不錯！你要採取什麼方法？ 羅伯特：我有信用卡債，所以為了不再使用信用卡，我把它們全都剪了。 米蘭達：你已經那麼做了嗎？真勇敢。 羅伯特：如果不馬上執行，我就會一直拖延，而且可能永遠不會採取行動。 米蘭達：我明白了。嗯，我打算每個月把一半的薪水存入銀行。 羅伯特：真是明智之舉。 Part C: For Learning and Development Tony and Martha are sharing their New Year's resolutions. 東尼和瑪莎正在分享他們的新年展望。 (Tony = T ; Martha = M) T: Did you make any New Year's resolutions this year? M: Yes. My resolution is to learn to ride a bicycle. T: Good for you! I know you're really afraid of falling, so it's not going to be easy. M: I know. How about you? Any resolutions? T: Yes! I'm going to focus more on my life and less on my job. M: That's good! You're really hardworking, but you always work way too much. T: Yeah, so I'm going to spend more time on my hobbies and interests. M: I'm really glad to hear that! Part C：學習及生涯發展 東尼：妳今年許新年願望了嗎？ 瑪莎：有，我的願望是要學會騎腳踏車。 東尼：真替妳開心！我知道妳很怕跌倒，所以這並不容易。 瑪莎：可不是嗎。那你呢？有任何目標嗎？ 東尼：有，我要多專注於我的生活，少花點心思在工作上。 瑪莎：那很棒！你做事非常認真，但總是工作得太賣力了。 東尼：對啊，我要花更多時間在我的嗜好和興趣上。 瑪莎：我真高興聽到你這麼說。
