李华和Larry在讨论晚饭吃什么。他们会用到两个常用语:turn a new leaf和take baby steps。
Larry: I'm starving, Lihua! What should we eat for dinner today?
LH: 晚饭?只要不吃你的最爱 - 汉堡包和薯条 - 就行!
Larry: What are you talking about? I wasn't planning on eating fast food!
LH: 我才不信呢。不是汉堡包,那一定是炸鸡!
Larry: Nope. Lihua, I know I used to eat a lot of unhealthy fast food in the past, but now I've turned a new leaf - I'm never going to eat fast food again!
LH: You turned a leaf?什么意思?
Larry: To turn a new leaf means to start over fresh - to totally get rid of bad habits and start over new again.
LH: 哦,to turn a new leaf,就是甩掉坏习惯,从头开始,
Larry: Right. Lately, my bad eating habits have been making me feel just awful. So, I decided to turn a new leaf and start eating only fresh, healthy foods - starting today.
LH: 你说,因为你一直吃垃圾食品,感觉身体状态很差,所以你要痛改前非,从今天开始吃健康食品!太好了, Larry!
Larry: Lihua, I have been gaining a little weight lately... But, that will all change now that I turned a new leaf and started living a healthy lifestyle!
LH: 哈,你要从头开始,过健康生活!Larry, 你真能做到么?
Larry: No problem, Lihua! When I make a decision, I stay with it!
