Dialogue: (對話)
Hope: | Hey, Joey. I’ve noticed you’ve been a bit uninspired lately. Is everything okay? |
Joey: | Uninspired? 你是說我沒活力嗎? |
Hope: | Hmm. |
Joey: | Well, 我最近有一股失落感! |
Hope: | Oh? You have been feeling a bit lost recently? Why do you feel this way? |
Joey: | Well, I have been feeling a bit lost these days because I think I should do more with my life, but I am not sure where to start. |
Hope: | I totally understand. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming to figure out your next steps. |
Joey: | What is overwhelming? |
Hope: | Oh, overwhelming means there is too much to bear in mind. |
Joey: | 是多到無法承受的意思,是嗎? |
Hope: | Yes, that’s right. |
Joey: | Yes. There are so many thoughts in my mind that I find it overwhelming. |
Hope: | Hey, you should always keep in mind that you are so much potential and you have so many talents. |
Joey: | I am not sure if I have many talents, but what does potential mean? |
Hope: | Potential means your ability to develop, to achieve or to succeed. |
Joey: | 我的潛力嗎? |
Hope: | Yes. Your potential is your 潛能or 潛力. |
Joey: | Do you really think I have lots of potential to achieve? |
Hope: | Of course you do. Have you ever considered setting some ambitious goals for yourself? |
Joey: | Hmm…I haven’t really thought about it. I mean, I want to achieve somethings, but I am not sure how to go about it. |
Hope: | Well, setting ambitious goals is a great way to start. And break it down into some manageable steps. Then start to do it. |
Joey: | I think it is difficult to start. |
Hope: | Hey, think this way. For example, you want to learn English well, so go take a class. Then you can find there are plenty of resources and support networks out there to help you! |
Joey: | Maybe you are right. Ut’s just a matter of taking that first step, isn’t it? |
Hope: | Exactly! Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Trying new things and challenging yourself is how you grow and improve! |
