HAPPY NEW YEAR !
每個新年到來的時候,我一定要做一件不一樣的事,讓我知道,這一年,已經開始和以往不一樣。

Let everything happen to you:beauty and terror.
Just keep going.
No feeling is final.
讓一切發生在你身上:
美麗與恐怖。
繼續。
沒有感覺是有趣的。
——Rainer Maria Rilke賴內·马利亚·里尔克
Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source – a Sower of Dreams – just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true.
跨出自信的一步,充滿信心地開始這奇妙的新年。
相信自己。
相信有一個充滿愛的源頭,相信有夢想的播種者,都在等待著幫助你實現夢想。
——Sarah Ban Breathnach薩拉·班·斯拜纳克
The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes.
所謂新年,並不是純粹爲了迎接新的一年。
我們應該有一個新的靈魂、新的嗅覺,新的路程,新的脊梁,新的聽覺和視覺。

And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.
現在,我們迎接新的一年,這是一場從未有過的新冒險。

If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.

——Cyril Cusack西裏爾·库萨克
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. I think if you want to change something, change it today and don't wait until the New Year.
我不相信新年決心。
我想如果你想改變什麽,今天就改變,不要等到新年。
——Georgina Bloomberg喬治娜·布隆伯格
For eleven months and maybe about twenty days each year, we concentrate upon the shortcomings of others, but for a few days at the turn of the New Year we look at our own. It is a good habit.
每年的11個月,或者另外20天,11個月或者每年20天,我們專注于別人的缺點,但是在新年到來的時候,我們會關注自己的缺點。這是一個好習慣。
——Arthur Hays Sulzberger阿瑟·海斯·苏兹伯格
December used to be very difficult for me. For many years, I fought the transition to the new year, was generally exhausted at the end of the year, and just wanted to hide. I described myself as a 'cranky Jewish kid who felt left out by Christmas.'
12月對我來說曾經是非常困難的。
多年來,我一直在努力過渡到新的一年,到了年底一般都精疲力盡了,只想躲起來。
我把自己描述成一個“脾氣暴躁的猶太孩子,覺得自己被聖誕節抛棄了”。
——Brad Feld布拉德·菲尔德
May God be with me! May Heaven bless this New Year. May it be a year of fruitfulness, of peace and prosperity; may it be a year of peace and unity for all mankind; may the world be freed of cholera.
願上帝與我同在!願上帝保佑這個新年。
願它成爲豐收、和平與繁榮的一年;
願它成爲全人類和平與團結的一年;
願世界擺脫疾病。
——Giacomo Meyerbeer賈科莫·迈耶贝尔
I love London in the rare parts of the year when it's quiet, and no time is more reliably quiet than the week between Christmas and New Year.
我喜歡倫敦,在一年中少有的安靜時期,沒有比聖誕節和新年之間的一周更安靜的時間了。
——John Lanchester約翰·兰切斯特
Good resolutions are simply chechs that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
信誓旦旦的決心,只不過是人們在連賬戶都沒有,就去銀行提取的支票。
—— Oscar Wilde 奧斯卡·王尔德
Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, “It will be happier.”
新的一年到來,新年向你微笑,並低語:“明天會更好”。
——Alfred Lord Tennyson阿爾佛雷德·坦尼森
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
樂觀的人守歲,是爲了迎接新一年的開始。
悲觀者的人守歲,只想是哀悼舊年的離去。
——Bill Vaughan比爾·沃恩
Every New Year is the direct descendant, isn't it, of a long line of proven criminals?
過去無數的罪惡在每個新年繼續延展,不是嗎?
——Ogden Nash奧格登·纳什
Each year is a new year.
每一年都是新的一年。
——Tim Buckley蒂姆·巴克利
The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.
新的一年在我們面前,就像一本書的某個章節,等待我們去書寫。
我們可以先設定好結局目標,再開始寫這個故事。

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
與你的惡習爲敵,與你的鄰居和睦相處,每一年都讓自己變得更好。
