Did you usher in the new year by going to the gym, eating a healthy meal, starting a new book, or telling a loved one you appreciate their company? One week into the new year, are you still doing these things, and how confident are you that you can keep up these good habits? 你可曾在新年伊始主动去健身房锻炼、吃一顿健康的饭菜、开始读一本新书、或是感谢爱你之人的陪伴？新年第一周已经过去了，你还在坚持做这些事情吗？你是否有信心能将这些好习惯一直坚持下去呢？ Many of us make New Year’s resolutions that we give up on all too easily. According to The Wall Street Journal, a recent survey shows more than 40 percent of those polled failed to keep up with their New Year’s resolutions in 2017. 许多人在制定了新年计划后，很容易悉数放弃。《华尔街日报》最近的调查显示，在2017年，40%的人都未能完成自己的新年计划。 Another study of New Year’s resolutions shows a steep drop off in how long they’re kept up. Seventy-seven percent of the resolvers studied made it through a full week, whereas 55 percent stuck with their goals for a month. By June, only 40 percent of those who had made a New Year’s resolution were still sticking with the goal. 另一项调查显示，随着时间的流逝，能够继续坚持的人数骤降。坚持一周的人数约为77%，而能够连续一个月完成目标的人就只剩55%；等到年中（6月份），还在坚持自己新年计划的人就只剩下40%了。 |
