初中英语七年级下册Unit 2 Section B 2b 参考译文

1. Do you know what a resolution is? It's a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (“Mom, I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year's resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.

1.你知道决心是什么吗？它是一种承诺。大多时候，我们都给别人许诺。（“妈妈，我保证放学后整理我的房间。”）可是，你给自己许下的诺言就是决心，而且最常见的一种是新年时下的决心。一年的开头经常是下决心的时候当我们在年初下决心的时候，我们希望我们会改善自己的生活。一些人为来年写下自己的决心和计划。这有助于记住他们自己的决心。其他一些人把自己的愿望和计划告诉家人和朋友。

2. There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.

2. 决心有各种各样的。一些是关于身体健康的。例如，一些人承诺自己将开始执行锻炼方案或少吃快餐。很多决心与提高自我有关系。这些与更好地提升自己有关。一些人也许会说他们将培养一个爱好，像画画或摄影，或者学习弹吉他。一些决心是关于制订更好的计划的，像为学校作业制定一项周计划。例如，学生可能得找出更多的时间学习。

3. Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you— will you make any next year?

3. 尽管有不同之处，但大部分决心有一个共同之处。人们很少执行下去！对此有一些好理由。有时决心太难执行不下去。有时人们只是忘记它们了。因此，一些人说最好的决心就是没有决心！你呢——明年你会制定一些吗？
