Part 1 – New Year Resolution
A: So, did I tell you about my New Year’s resolution? I’ve decided to go on a diet.
B: And you’re going to completely transform your eating habits, right?
A: Exactly! I’m going to cut out all that junk I eat; no more chips, no more soda, no more fried food.
B: I’ve heard this one before.
A: But this time I’m going to stick to it. I really mean it! Trust me, Carol, I’m going to be a new man in one year’s time!
B: Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
A: Thanks, honey, that was a great meal. I’m stuffed. Do we have any chips left?

A: 那么,我告诉你我的新年决心了吗?我已经决定(节食)减肥了。
B: 你打算彻底改变你的饮食习惯,对吗?
A: 完全正确,我要戒掉我吃的所有垃圾食品,不吃薯条,不喝汽水,不再吃油炸食品了。
B: 我以前就听你这样说过。
A: 但这次我要坚持下去。我是认真的!相信我,Carol, 一年的时间,我就会变成一个全新的人了。
B: 好吧,我们就拭目以待吧。
A: 谢谢你,亲爱的,这顿饭真是太好吃了!我吃饱了,我们还有剩余的薯片吗?
