新年決心;新年新希望

“Have you made any New Year’s resolutions?” “Yes, I’m going to eat more healthily and give up smoking.”

「你給自己定下甚麼新年決心了嗎?」「是的,我要令自己飲食更加健康,並且戒煙。

注意新年新希望的英文可不能用New Year’s hope喔!這樣就會變成直接翻譯的台式英文了。New Year’s resolution 這個詞較早出現在早期的西方傳統社會,而後流傳到東方,才會有新年新希望的說法,使用resolution 決心這個字,是希望在新年能夠好好去實踐自己的目標。
