H: Hank L: Lily
Hank and Lily are talking about the goals they set for themselves last New Year.
H: Happy New Year, Lily! Can you believe it’s already 2026?
L: I know. Another year flew by. How did your goals from last year turn out?
H: It was a mixed bag, honestly. I learned a bit of guitar, and I can now strum a few songs without scaring the neighbors.
L: That’s something! Mine were all over the place. I said I’d finish my novel. Spoiler alert: I didn’t.
H: But didn’t you write over half of it? I’m pretty sure we talked about that recently.
漢克和莉莉在談論他們去年新年所訂下的目標。
漢 克： 莉莉，新年快樂！妳敢相信現在已經 2026 了嗎？
莉 莉： 我知道。一轉眼又過了一年。你去年的目標結果如何？
漢 克： 說實話，有好有壞。我學了一點吉他，現在能彈幾首歌而不會嚇到鄰居了。
莉 莉： 這樣算不錯了啊！我的計畫一塌糊塗。我說我要完成我的小說。我先劇透：我沒做到。
漢 克： 可是妳不是已經寫超過一半了嗎？我很確定我們最近還聊過這件事。
