譯文：

1--你看這衣服怎么樣？
2--挺好。可是你想買什么樣的裙子？
1--一件顯眼時(shí)髦，或許稍帶點(diǎn)性感的裙子。除夕是個(gè)不尋常的日子，一年只有那么一次，是不是？

1--人們總是穿著最好的農(nóng)服。許多人專門為除夕夜而上街選購衣物。
2--你們新年還有別的習(xí)俗嗎？
1--年前我們給親戚朋友寄送賀卡祝他們新年愉快。人們?cè)诮稚匣蛏痰昀锵嘤鰰r(shí)互道“新年快樂”。人們還常定下新年的決心。
2--那又是什么意思呢？
1--就是從新年開始戒掉惡習(xí)，或做件他們認(rèn)為很難完成的事情。許多人決心戒煙、減肥或不再同妻子吵嘴等等，不過這些一般只能堅(jiān)持幾天。
2--順便問一下，你們除夕夜都到哪兒去？
1--我們?nèi)ヒ箍倳?huì)吃飯、跳舞，然后到市中心廣場(chǎng)參加大型慶祝會(huì)。地方政府每年都組織放焰火禮花。我們想讓你也參加。
