1--You need a holiday.

2--It wasn't always like this, you know.

1--How do you mean?

2--Well, our great-great-grandfathers had more fun, didn't they? I mean, they hunted for their food and grew their own vegetables and did things for themselves. We do the same sort of job for years and years. There's no variety in our lives.

1--You need a holiday. That's what's the matter with you.

2--没什么事儿。我只是感到有些腻烦。

1--是对工作感到腻烦？

2--什么都感到腻烦。早上赶火车，整天坐办公室，晚上看老一套电视节目。都让人感到腻烦。

1--你该休假了。

2--你瞧，早先的日子也不这样。

1--这话怎讲？

2--你看，我们的先辈们，他们过得更开心，是不？他们自己打猎取食，自己种菜，什么都自己办。我们一年一年地干同样的工作，生活中一点变化都没有。

1--你是该休假了。这就是你的症结所在。
