January first. The beginning of a new year. As far back in history as we can tell, people have celebrated the start of a new year. Today, most people celebrate New Year's Day on January first. People observe the New Year's holiday in many different ways. The idea of admitting mistakes and finishing the business of the old year is found in many cultures. So is the idea of making New Year's resolutions. A resolution is a promise to change or do something different in the coming year. 　 From right, Ashley Preston and Charlotte Cicero and friends in Washington D.C. Making New Year's resolutions is a common tradition. We talked to some people in Washington, D.C. and Miami, Florida about their resolutions, hopes and wishes for two thousand nine. ASHLEY: "I'm Ashley Preston. I'm from Canfield, Ohio and I'm twenty-four years old. This year I hope to graduate with my Master's and be healthy and happy."Ashley's friend, Charlotte Cicero from Rochester, New York, is also to graduate this year. Her resolution went a step farther.CHARLOTTE: "I hope to graduate and find a job teaching somewhere."Other people mix wishes small and large. Like Ryan Krysiak, a student at the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Viriginia.RYAN: "For the New Year, I want the Eagles to go to the Superbowl and world peace."Some resolutions are about helping others. ELNIE: "I'm Elnie Goodman and I live in Washington, D.C. But I was born in Haiti. In the summer of two thousand nine I would like to lead a humanitarian trip to Haiti."In Miami, Florida, one man hopes a resolution from last year will go better in two thousand nine:GLEN: "My name's Glenn Mitchell. I live in Miami. And personally I have a resolution to do more artwork. And I had the same resolution last year and I wasn't able to."This next woman wishes a little brain power for everybody.PEGGY: "Hi, I'm Peggy. I'm from Grafton, Wisconsin. I'm forty-eight years old. In the New Year, I hope things start to get right again. Everybody's happy, healthy and a little bit smarter, so that things go well."Many people agreed with Miz Rice. Ian McMann of Miami said the election process in the United States in two thousand eight brought a return to hope. Ellen Wade is a forty-two year old businesswoman and student in Waynesboro, Virginia. She expressed similar feelings about the political change. She said she hoped that the new president could help lead the way to better relations among the nations of the world.But many people we spoke to kept their resolutions very simple, like this boy.NOAH: "My name is Noah Goodwin. I live in Arlington, Virginia. I'm twelve years old and I resolve to get a girlfriend this year."Our resolution is to wish all of our listeners a happy, healthy and productive New Year!

元月一日,新年伊始.亘古以来人们就一直庆祝新年的到来.现在大多数人庆祝元月一日的元旦日.人们采用多种不同的形式过年.许多文化中都可以发现在这一天不计小过,该做的事情做完.新年许愿也是如此.所谓新年许愿是指在新的一年里某些事情发生一些变化.

从右至左,依次是阿什利·普利斯顿,夏洛特·西塞罗以及华盛顿大区的一些朋友.新年的时候许愿是一项普遍的传统习俗.我们与来自华盛顿和福罗里达州迈阿密的朋友进行了谈话,探讨他们对二零零九年的期待、愿望和规划.

阿什利：“我叫阿什利·普利斯顿,来自俄亥俄州的坎菲尔德.我二十四岁.我希望今年健康幸福,顺利拿到硕士学位.”阿什利的朋友夏洛特·西塞罗来自纽威的罗切斯特也是今年硕士毕业,她比阿什利更进一步：“我希望拿到学位,找到一份教书的工作.”其他人的也有一些大大小小的愿望.比如来自弗吉尼亚州威廉斯堡的威廉玛丽学院的瑞安·克里夏克.“我希望老鹰队能够参加超级杯和世界和平.”有些是用来帮助别人的.艾尔尼：“我是艾尔尼·古德曼,住在华盛顿.我出生在海蒂.我希望二零零九年夏天能够到海蒂免费旅游”.迈阿密的一个男人从去年就希望二零零九年一切顺利.葛兰：我叫葛兰·米歇尔,我住在迈阿密.我想多做点艺术工作.去年我就有这种愿望,但是没有实现.”下面这位女士希望每个人拥有一些智慧.佩吉：“嗨,我是佩吉,我来自威斯康辛的格拉芙顿.我四十八岁.我希望世事新的一年走回正轨.每个人都幸福,健康,多一点智慧.这样才能发事情做好.”大家都赞同米兹·赖斯的观点.来自迈阿密的伊恩·麦克曼说,选举程序在2008年举行的美国大选带来了希望.来自佛吉尼亚的四十二岁女商人艾伦·瓦德.同时也就读于佛吉尼亚的威奈斯保罗.她对时政变化也表达了同样的感觉.她说,希望新总统能够在与世界其他国家的外交关系.不过大多数我们联系上的人,其愿望都比较简单.比如这个男孩,诺亚.“我叫诺亚·古德温.我住在佛吉尼亚的阿灵顿市.我十二岁.我希望今年有女朋友.”

我们许的愿是希望全体听众在新的一年里幸福、健康、收获累累.(后面这一句不允许发表,自己看吧）
