(单词翻译:单击)

   Jeff:  I get off work every day, and I’m so thankful that I love my job as much as I do. And I know not everyone feels that way.

  Lily:  I am so burned out(精疲力竭的,累坏的) right now. I’ve been working the same job for so long, and I feel like I’m about to go off the deep end(发疯,疯掉). The littlest task just makes me want to go crazy! I’m feeling really worn out right now.
  Jeff:  You don’t look at anything in your job as a challenge to overcome, or…?
  Lily:  Jeff, I work in data entry(数据录入).
  Jeff:  I feel like I’ve heard this before.
  Lily:  It’s hard to be inspired and to feel motivated when you’re doing the same thing over and over again for eight hours a day. I’m going to strive1 to be more like you where I actually love my job and am proud of what I’m doing and feel like I’m making a dent(有所进展,进步) in my life.
  Jeff:  Yeah, I used to have jobs like that. No light at the end of the tunnel. It just keeps going.
  Lily:  Well, I’ve been looking online, and I have a couple of leads on some new jobs. I’m just going to covertly(秘密的) interview for new things until I can find something I like.
  Jeff:  You should do that, and if a position opens up where I work, I’ll let you know.
  Lily:  Cool. Thank you very much.
