Shirley: Oh, my God. I can't take it any more.
Colleague: What's wrong, honey? Take it easy.
Shirley: I am tired of doing that boring work. I just repeat doing counting everyday. It's so terrible.
Colleague: Me too. But I think we can do something else for a change.
Shirley: You know I work with my professional knowledge not passion. Sometimes I don't know what the meaning of working is?
Colleague: But you did a good job. You always perform the best in our company.
Shirley: Yes, that's in the past. Maybe I need to go to my psychologist for help.
Colleague: Perhaps you've just tired and you need a vacation.
Shirley: I was full of ambitions before. But now I have no aim for my career.
Colleague: Maybe we should keep on studying to enrich our knowledge and make our life exciting.
Shirley: That sounds interesting. But I don't know how to do that.
Colleague: How about a training course?
Shirley: A training course? That must be costly.
Colleague: But it's worth it. Maybe it can get us into a good mood and also helps us learn something to use for the future.
Shirley: OK, let's have a try.
Colleague: OK.

雪莉: 噢，我的天哪，再不能忍受了。
同事: 怎麼啦，親愛的？放鬆點。
雪莉: 我厭煩了做那樣無聊的工作。我就是每天重複地算。太恐怖了。
同事: 我也是啊。但是我覺得我們能做些改變。
雪莉: 你知道，我工作只是用專用知識而不帶激情的。有時候我真不知道工作的意義是什麼。
同事: 但是你工作表現不錯啊。你總是公司裏表現最好的。
雪莉: 是的，那時以前。或許我現在真的需要心理醫生來幫我了。
同事: 或許你是累了，需要休假。
雪莉: 以前我有雄心壯志，但是現在我沒有了職業目標。
同事: 或許我們應該不斷地學習來擴充知識面，使生活更有激情。
雪莉: 聽起來很有意思。但是我不知道該怎麼做。
同事: 參加培訓班怎麼樣？
雪莉: 培訓班？那肯定很貴。
同事: 但是很值。或許培訓班能讓我們有個好心情，也能幫助我們學到將來有用的東西。
雪莉: 好吧，試一試。
同事: 嗯。
