（单词翻译）

　　Cassandra: I’ve had it! I’m quitting and I’m not coming back. I was meant for greater things than working in this pathetic place. Life is passing me by.
Lazlo: You can’t quit. You need the money and you have responsibilities, remember?
Cassandra: I’ve sacrificed enough for security. I want to make a difference. I want to do big things. I want to have an impact on the world.
Lazlo: That’s very admirable. Most people want to make a difference in the world, but don’t have the guts1 to try.
Cassandra: You are so right! But I’m going to make it happen. I aspire2 to do great things and I won’t rest until I do. I want to follow my dream.
Lazlo: What is your dream?
Cassandra: Um, well, I’m not quite sure what I’m destined3 to do yet, but as soon as I figure out my true vocation4, I’m following my heart.
Lazlo: That’s great. Until then, lunch break is over. Could we get back to work?
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
