英語播客初級(jí)版 第172期(外教講解):新年決定
A: Did you read this? It says that the number one new years resolution make is to spend more time with friends and family.
B: Why would that be funny?
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.
B: Why?
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.
B: I don’t agree, but anyways, I think you should start thinking of a new year’s resolution yourself.
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.
B: Well then maybe you should resolve to sticking to your goals and objectives.
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.
B: Well, I would go if you kept your promise of going to the gym with me everyday!
A: Yeah, yeah, whatever.

A:你讀這個(gè)了嗎?那上面說新年最重要的計(jì)劃就是要多花些時(shí)間和朋友和家人多相處。
B:那個(gè)有意思嗎?
A:好好想想。我們是個(gè)繁忙的社會(huì)，不是因?yàn)槲覀儽仨毮敲捶泵?，而是我們想那樣繁忙?br /> B:為什么?
A:我們勤奮工作，在家呆的時(shí)間少，因?yàn)槲覀兛偸窃谂o家里提供更多非必須的物品和服務(wù)，
B:我不同意那種觀點(diǎn)，無論如何，我想你應(yīng)該仔細(xì)想下新年的計(jì)劃。
A:要點(diǎn)是什么?我們總是做計(jì)劃，到了2月我們就全忘了。那是沒有意義的。

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.
