3-4假如生活不一样
如果...
Oh hi,Lily. What are you doing here?
I wanted to say that I'm sorry for ruining your birthday. I feel awful.
Don't say that.You didn't ruin my birthday.
We were having a nice time until my fans showed up.
Don't worry about it. I'm not upset with you.
Well, I still feel guilty.My acting career has gotten in the way of our friendship.
It's really OK.
I'm sorry for not being there for you more often!
Well, we both have very busy jobs.I've missed a lot of important moments in your life, too.
That's true.At dinner last night, you said that you feel tired.
I do.I've been so busy that I don't have any free time anymore.
It sounds like we're not satisfied with our careers.
You aren't satisfied?
Not really I love acting but it's hard being so well-known.Sometimes I just want to have a normal life and not this crazy one.
I didn't know you felt that way.
Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I weren't an actress.And what if you weren't a lawyer?
That's a strange thought.
But you have got me interested.

Hey, I'm going to leave for the airport.Do you want me to pick you up from work?
Actually, can you pick me up from my house and not my office?
Okay, sure. Are you there now?
Yeah,I'll be ready when you get here.I'm so excited, two weeks at the hotel on the beach!
Um, we're staying at the hotel in town, not on the beach.
What? Why not?
I thought you wanted to stay at the place that's small and not busy.
No, I told you not to book the quiet hotel. It's not as fun.And I prefer not having to walk to the beach.
I’m sorry. Hopefully it's not too far away.

Jane, are you satisfied with your job?
Well, of course. What's wrong, Becca? You seem upset.
I quit my job last week.
Congratulations on finally leaving your drama-queen boss!
But I feel lost not knowing what to do next. I used to hate that job so much.Now I feel guilty about not keeping a great opportunity to work in a big company.
You know, I used to believe I would be a salesperson after I finished college.
Really? But why did you become a journalist?
Because that's my true calling. Becca, giving up something you hate isn't a bad thing. It means you can start doing what you truly enjoy.
You're right. Maybe I should really give it a thought.
