Sample Sentences

哎哟，你别说得这么吓人！每年你都是雷声大雨点小。光嘴上说得漂亮有什么用？去年你不也这样下决心，可结果呢?三天打鱼，两天晒网，一年下来什么也没干成。瞧，我的计划就很简单，四个字-我要戒烟。每天少抽几口，一年下来，我就可以完全戒掉了。

Yikes, don’t make it sound so terrifying! Every year you would talk big but no actions. What is the use of only saying beautiful words? Last year didn’t you also make this kind of a resolution, and what was the result? You didn’t stick with it. A year went by and you didn’t accomplish anything. Look, my plan is very simple, just four words: I will quit smoking. I will smoke a little bit less every day. Over the year, I will be able to totally give it up.
