New Year's Resolutions

新年决心

首先，我们替刚出生的小婴儿，一直到还没上幼儿园的小宝宝们写一份新年决心，其实是宝妈宝爸的美好愿望。新的一年里，宝宝们当然会长大，他们的新年决心或者说我们的美好愿望都会慢慢实现。

Mom: The New Year is almost here,

妈妈：新年快到了，

so it's time to write some New Year's resolutions.

是时候写下新年决心了。

Child: What are resolutions?

宝宝：什么是决心？

That's a big word!

You can also think of them as goals that you set up for yourself.

Can I make a resolution for that?

来，我在这张纸上写下第一条：

I will read more books.

You can make reaching your goal easier by adding a number.

你可以加一些数字，会更容易实现目标。

Why don't we say "I will read at least 2 books each week?"

咱们可以说：“我每周会读至少两本书。”

Since you are so young,

因为你还小，

books for your reading level are short

适合你阅读水平的书都很短，

and we can read a few each week.

我们每周可以读好几本。

Child: Okay, I can do that.

Mom: Let me think of one thing I can resolve to do…

妈妈：我来想想我下定决心做的一件事情……

hmm… I will eat less carbs next year.

Child: What's another one I can do?

宝宝：我还能做什么？

Mom: How about spending more time outside this coming year?

妈妈：明年多去户外，怎么样？

Child: Yeah!

宝宝：嗯！

I'll write my last one:

我再写最后一个：

I will get better at math.

我的数学会更好。

Oh wait, can I change it to "I will visit my grandma and grandpa more"?

哦等等，我能把它改为“我会多去看望爷爷奶奶”吗？

I want to do that.

我想做这个。

Mom: Well, I think you are very capable of doing both,

妈妈：好的，我认为你有能力两件事都做，

so let's write both down!

所以咱们把两个都写下来吧！

Child: You need one more, Mommy!

宝宝：你需要再加一个，妈妈！

Mom: I'll add this:

妈妈：我加上这个：

I will do yoga twice a week.

我要一周做两次瑜伽。

I just started and do it once a week.

我刚开始做，现在是一周一次。

Child: You will be very stretchy at the end of next year!

宝宝：你到明年年底柔韧性会非常好的！

Mom: Haha, maybe I will be!

妈妈：哈哈，可能吧！

Okay, let's stick our New Year's resolutions on the fridge door.

好了，咱们把新年决心贴在冰箱门上吧。

That way we can always see them and be reminded.

这样咱们就能经常看见，提醒自己了。
