这里是《每日语法》节目。我是爱丽丝·布莱恩特。
At the start of each new year, many people ask about the resolutions of their families and friends.
每年新年伊始，许多人都会问家人和朋友的新年计划。
One way to do this is by asking a yes or no question, like this:
一种方式是问“是否”问题，比如：
Do you have any New Year's resolutions?
你有新年计划吗？
Another way is to use an open-ended question, like this:
另一种方式是使用开放式问题，比如：
What are your New Year's resolutions?
你的新年计划是什么？
And, there are a few ways to answer such questions.
有几种回答这些问题的方式。
Sometimes, the answers can involve a phrasal verb.
有时，答案可能包含一个动词短语。
For instance, we can use the verb "take up" to say that we will start a new hobby, like this:
例如，我们可以用动词“take up”来表示我们将开始一个新的爱好，比如：
Yes, I do. I plan to take up kickboxing.
是的，我有。我打算开始学跆拳道。
Another phrasal verb we can use is "give up."
我们可以用的另一个动词短语是“give up”。
We can use this verb to talk about ending bad habits or changing a behavior, like this:
我们可以用这个动词来谈论结束坏习惯或改变行为，比如：
I am giving up sugar for the whole month of January.
我一月份整整一个月都不吃糖了。
Still, in many situations, we do not need phrasal verbs to talk about resolutions.
然而，在许多情况下，我们不需要动词短语来谈论决心。
Other ways to answer include the use of an infinitive verb or a gerund.
其他回答方式包括使用不定式动词或动名词。
Listen to this speaker use an infinitive verb:
听下面的说话者使用不定式动词：
My New Year's resolution is to call my parents every week.
我的新年计划是每周给我的父母打电话。
The infinitive verb here is "to call."
这里的不定式动词是“to call”。
You can also use a gerund, like this:
你也可以使用动名词，比如：
My New Year's resolution is calling my parents every week.
我的新年计划是每周给我的父母打电话。
The gerund here is "calling."
这里的动名词是“calling”。
