It's crazy how quickly time is going by. Every year, I make goals for myself and can never seem to accomplish them all. It's like I try to cram all of these tasks -- for instance, starting a company, winning the lottery, getting a book deal, creating a TV show, etc. -- into a year, but most are not actually all that realistic. Like, I'm probably not going to become famous overnight, right? However, beyond the many things I hope to accomplish some time in the near future, there are a couple of things I -- and you -- should do in the new year no matter what.
時(shí)間如白駒過(guò)隙，每年我都給自己制定目標(biāo)，卻從沒(méi)能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)。好像我總試圖把這些計(jì)劃——比如，開(kāi)公司、贏彩票、出本書(shū)、創(chuàng)辦電視秀等等，全部塞到一年中去；可事實(shí)上大部分都不切實(shí)際。就像我不可能一夜暴富一樣，是吧？不過(guò)，撇開(kāi)許多我希望能在不久的將來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)，下面這些——我認(rèn)為大家無(wú)論如何都應(yīng)該在新年里做好。

Here are 9 things every 20-something should do in 2014:
下面就是20多歲年輕人在2014年應(yīng)該做的事情：

1. Be active.
動(dòng)起來(lái)。

Whether you're going to the gym twice a day every day or you're taking walks around your neighborhood three times a week, make sure you are doing some sort of physical activity on the regular. Don't say you're too busy for it... we're all busy. You just need to make time for it (especially if you sit at a desk all week long). Whether that time is on the weekend, at 5:00 a.m. every day, or right before you go to bed, make it happen. Five minutes of crunches is better than nothing.
無(wú)論你打算每天去兩次健身房，還是每周在小區(qū)內(nèi)散三次步，都應(yīng)保證自己有規(guī)律地進(jìn)行體能運(yùn)動(dòng)。不要推說(shuō)太忙沒(méi)時(shí)間運(yùn)動(dòng)——大家都很忙。你只需擠點(diǎn)時(shí)間就行（尤其當(dāng)你整個(gè)星期都久坐在桌前的時(shí)候）。不論是在周末還是每天早上5:00，或者睡覺(jué)之前，只要有時(shí)間，就去運(yùn)動(dòng)。做五分鐘仰臥起坐總比一點(diǎn)都不運(yùn)動(dòng)的好。

2. Take a vacation.
享受假期。

We are given mandatory vacation days for a reason. Don't use them all on days for appointments and visiting home. Go somewhere warm! Go somewhere romantic! Go somewhere exotic and different. You have your own money now. And you certainly deserve it.
法定假期自有存在的道理。不要把假期都花在赴約和走親訪(fǎng)友上。去溫暖、浪漫而又充滿(mǎn)異域情調(diào)的地方吧！你自己掙了錢(qián)，當(dāng)然應(yīng)該好好犒勞自己。

3. Have a crazy night(s) out.
度過(guò)瘋狂一晚。

No, you don't have to get wasted every time you go out. You don't even have to drink every time you go out. In fact, you don't even need to go out that much. But make sure you have at least one wild night this year when you do go out (preferably more than one). And by wild night, I of course mean drink so much that you do stupid things you will most definitely regret the next morning. Everyone needs a good story every now and then.
別誤會(huì)——你不一定非得每次外出就虛擲浪費(fèi)，也不必每次外出就酩酊大醉。實(shí)際上，你甚至都不用出去得那么頻繁。你只要確保今年外出時(shí)，有那么一次瘋狂的夜晚就行。說(shuō)到瘋狂夜晚，自然是指喝得醉醺醺、做點(diǎn)隔天絕對(duì)會(huì)后悔的事情。人人都需要時(shí)不時(shí)地來(lái)點(diǎn)故事吧。

4. Think.
三思。

Think before you spend. Think before you eat. Think before you tweet. Think before you drink. A problem with us 20-somethings is that we rarely think -- we just DO. We have (barely any) money, so we spend it. We hate saying no, so we constantly find ourselves eating poorly and drinking way too often. We are under pressure by Instagram and feel the need to add a filter to every single picture we take and then post it on all social media sites we use. We tweet whatever is on our mind. And we post things on Facebook in the heat of the moment. This year, think before you do any of the above. Please.
花錢(qián)之前請(qǐng)三思，饕餮之前請(qǐng)三思，發(fā)碎碎念之前請(qǐng)三思，喝酒之前請(qǐng)三思。20多歲的問(wèn)題就是——我們常常只做不想。我們哪怕只有一分錢(qián)也會(huì)花光；我們羞于拒絕，所以常常喝酒吃垃圾食品；我們跟風(fēng)Instagram，拍點(diǎn)照片就迫不及待曬到各大社交媒體上；我們不經(jīng)大腦就亂發(fā)碎碎念；我們還會(huì)在憤怒時(shí)把事情公布在Facebook上。今年，無(wú)論如何請(qǐng)?jiān)谧鲞@些事之前先想想清楚。

5. Cook something.
學(xué)做菜。

As a 20-something, you need to learn to cook. You should already know how to cook pasta and eggs -- and know how to use the oven. Now, spice up your pasta and eggs with new recipes... and of course learn what to do with meat, whether it's in a crock pot, the oven, the stove, or on a grill. Of course, microwavable meals are nice when you worked late or are just way too busy. But to be healthy, you must cook! I'm not saying turn into a chef... but look easy recipes up online. Cooking is really not that bad.
20多歲的你也需要學(xué)會(huì)做菜。你應(yīng)該已經(jīng)知道如何煮面條和雞蛋，還知道怎么使用微波爐?，F(xiàn)在，請(qǐng)嘗試將面條和雞蛋做得更有滋有味吧。還有，學(xué)會(huì)怎么燒肉——瓦罐肉、烘肉、燉肉或燒烤都成。當(dāng)然，要是下班太晚或太忙，微波爐蒸肉也不錯(cuò)?？梢氤缘媒】?，最好親自下廚！我不是要你成為大廚，但你可以在網(wǎng)上學(xué)會(huì)簡(jiǎn)單的菜譜。做菜真的沒(méi)那么難。

6. Get rid of fake friends.
甩掉虛假的朋友。

And stop being fake yourself! You graduated college. You're in the real world. There's no need to keep pretending you like so-and-so just because they're friends with your friends and you feel you have to. But there's also no need to be mean to people. You're too old for that. Be cordial, but don't go out of your way to make a friendship happen that's just not going to happen. Focus that energy on new friendships with people you actually like. Don't exclude people, don't be cliquey, and ignore any drama that attempts to come your way. Do YOU and don't worry about anyone else.
你自己也別再裝模作樣了！你已經(jīng)離開(kāi)校園、進(jìn)入現(xiàn)實(shí)社會(huì)了，沒(méi)必要照顧朋友的面子而假裝自己喜歡什么。但也不要對(duì)人刻薄，這不是你這個(gè)年紀(jì)該做的事。要熱情友好，但也別過(guò)分強(qiáng)求不可能的友情。把精力放在結(jié)交志趣相投的新朋友上。不要排斥他人，不要搞小團(tuán)體，別去理會(huì)企圖刁難你的屁事。做好你自己，管別人怎樣呢！

7. Buy something valuable.
買(mǎi)有質(zhì)量的東西。

Whether it be a phone, a computer, a TV, a tablet, or a designer bag, treat yourself. Embrace your inner responsible adult by buying something you could never afford in college and then be responsible for that item. It will be good practice for having a child. Okay, not really, but whatever.
犒勞一下自己：手機(jī)、電腦、電視、平板電腦或名牌包包都行。買(mǎi)幾樣大學(xué)時(shí)買(mǎi)不起的物品來(lái)滿(mǎn)足內(nèi)心欲望，并好好保管這些物品。這可是對(duì)將來(lái)養(yǎng)小孩一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的練習(xí)哦?。ㄩ_(kāi)玩笑啦~）

8. Call friends and family.
聯(lián)系親朋好友。

No one calls people anymore. We just tweet, text, and... well that's about it since Facebook wall writing is now a thing of the past. We don't listen to people anymore, so our conversations are completely impersonal. When someone is being nice, we sometimes mistake them for being rude and of course never say anything because it's just a text. This year, take a few minutes every week (or couple of weeks) to call people. Of course face to face communication is ideal, but if you have to resort to something else and you really want to catch up with someone -- or keep up with someone -- give them a call.
很少有人打電話(huà)了。人們只會(huì)發(fā)碎碎念、發(fā)短信……好吧，自從有了Facebook，情況就變成了這樣。人們不再傾聽(tīng)，交流也僅限于公事。要是有人示好，人們甚至?xí)`以為對(duì)方粗俗并保持沉默，因?yàn)槟侵皇且粭l短信而已。今年，請(qǐng)每周（或每幾周）抽幾分鐘時(shí)間給大家打個(gè)電話(huà)吧。自然，面對(duì)面交流最好不過(guò)了。如果你確實(shí)想聯(lián)系某人但又有其他事情纏身，那就打個(gè)電話(huà)吧。

9. Relax.
放松。

Stop planning something for every second of every day and take a break. It's okay to sit on the couch and watch trashy TV once in a while. It's okay to go to bed early to catch up on sleep on a weekend night. It's okay to do absolutely nothing for an entire weekend once in a while. In fact, it's almost necessary at this point in our lives. Take a minute or two to sit down and not think every once in a while. You'll appreciate the lack of stress in your life a lot more than you did back in college.
停止把每天的每分每秒都安排得緊緊湊湊，休息一下吧。偶爾靠在沙發(fā)上看會(huì)垃圾電視沒(méi)什么；周末晚上早點(diǎn)上床好好睡一覺(jué)沒(méi)什么；難得整個(gè)周末啥事都不干也沒(méi)什么。其實(shí)，這可以說(shuō)是人生這個(gè)階段必做的事情。偶爾花點(diǎn)時(shí)間坐下來(lái)放空自己。你會(huì)感謝這種遠(yuǎn)比大學(xué)時(shí)代輕松的時(shí)刻。
