（单词翻译）

 　　Julianna: Ha ha! The wicked1 witch is dead!

　　Hugo: What are you talking about?
　　Julianna: Bettina is stepping down as chairperson of the committee. I thought this day would never come.
　　Hugo: That’s a big surprise. I never thought I’d live to see the day when Bettina would willingly give up her position.
　　Julianna: It wasn’t her choice exactly. The rest of the committee forced her out, saying they couldn’t work with her anymore. Oh how the mighty2 have fallen!
　　Hugo: But I thought she had the support of the higher- ups and they wanted her in the position.
　　Julianna: Well, she’s somehow fallen from grace3 and they can’t wait to see the back of her. It’s nice to see her get her comeuppance – finally!
　　Hugo: Maybe we’re not getting the full story. Maybe she had personal reasons for leaving.
　　Julianna: Whatever the reason, we’ll be rid of her once and for all. Hallelujah!
　　Hugo: How do you know the next chairperson won’t be worse?
　　Julianna: Bite your tongue!
