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.

同事: 怎么啦，亲爱的？放松点。

雪莉: 我厌烦了做那样无聊的工作。我就是每天重复地算。太恐怖了。

同事: 我也是啊。但是我觉得我们能做些改变。

雪莉: 你知道，我工作只是用专用知识而不带激情的。有时候我真不知道工作的意义是什么。

同事: 但是你工作表现不错啊。你总是公司里表现最好的。

雪莉: 是的，那时以前。或许我现在真的需要心理医生来帮我了。

同事: 或许你是累了，需要休假。

雪莉: 以前我有雄心壮志，但是现在我没有了职业目标。

同事: 或许我们应该不断地学习来扩充知识面，使生活更有激情。

雪莉: 听起来很有意思。但是我不知道该怎么做。

同事: 参加培训班怎么样？

雪莉: 培训班？那肯定很贵。

同事: 但是很值。或许培训班能让我们有个好心情，也能帮助我们学到将来有用的东西。

雪莉: 好吧，试一试。

同事: 嗯。
