我在想这件事，但是我从来没有坚持过我的愿望并且实现它。比如去年，我加入了一个健身房，但是只去了两词。
A: Yeah I know what you mean. That's why this year I am keeping things more simple. Maybe like getting together with friends I haven't seen in a long time, or doing some volunteering work.
是的，我知道你的意思。这就是为什么我今年我的打算更加简单。也许就像和长时间没见的朋友聚在一起一样，或者做一些自愿的工作。

听起来很合理。我们应该聚在一起在时代广场看投球。
A: Sure, as long as you don't try to kiss me at midnight!
这样很好，只要你不要在午夜试着亲我就好了！
