1、Mickey刚失业，跟朋友Suzanne一起吃饭，Suzanne劝他说，这未必不是件好事。她说，S:BackatmyoldjobthereweresomedayswhereIbarelyusedmybrainatall!Ijustdidthesamethingoverandoveragain.M:Sowhathappenedafteryougotfired?Didanewopportunitycomeyourway?S:Notexactly.Ittookmeaboutayeartofigureoutthatopportunitiesweren'tg

3、，总是同样的工作来回做，didthesamethingoverandoveragain.完全不用动大脑，失业后，她用一年的时间才发现，机会不会自己找上门来，opportunitiesweren'tgoingtocomemyway,还不如自己去创造机会。于是她决定自己开公司，帮助那些喜欢园艺但是没有时间整理花园的人整理花园。M:Sonowyougoaroundmakingcustom-designedgardensforhomesandoffices,right?S:Yes!Ineverwould'vethoughtinamillionyearsth

5、Iwantedtodo.Nothavingastableincomecanbedifficult.因此，Suzanne开了一家公司，专门为公司和家庭custom-design量身定做花园。她说，要不是被解雇，她死也不会想到自己的爱好竟然会成为职业，inamillionyears是一种夸张的说法，就是无论如何也不会的意思。正是被解雇，才让她最终找到了自己的calling,callingisspelledc-a-l-l-i-n-g,calling,一个人最适合的职业。Suzanne说，不过，这个过程也很艰难，她足足打了一年零工才走出低谷，oddjobs

6、是零工的意思。Mickey听后深受启发。M:Yeah....rightnowIhavesomesavingssoI'llbegoodforaboutsixmonths...butifIcan'tfindsomethingafterthatit'sgoingtostartgettingtough.S:Doyouhavea"dream"orsomethingyou'vealwayswantedtodo?M:Well,Ihavealwayshadtheideaofopeningabicyclestore.I'mtalkingaboutsellingrar

7、e,vintageorspecialcustom-madebicycles.　　Mickey说，自己存款有限，撑半年还行，再久就扛不住了。Suzanne问他有没有什么梦想。Mickey说，他一直想开一家自行车店，专卖那些不多见，古香古色，或是订做的自行车。他在这里用的vintageisspelledv-i-nt-a-g-e,vintage意思是老式的，古典的。S:Interesting!Cyclingisquiteatrendthesedaysandifyoucanfindbicyclesthatnooneelsehas....itjustmigh
