地道美语听力练习:靠低工资过活 却活出特立独行人生

Dylan:Here!

Yvonne:What's this?

Dylan:It's information about a job-training program.

It'll give you the skills you need to get steady work.

Yvonne:I don't need that. I get by with the wages I earn from this job.

Dylan:You're in a dead-end job straining to make ends meet every month.

Yvonne:I've always landed on my feet.

Dylan:But you don't have any job security.

You could be out on your ear any minute.

Don't you want a better quality of life?

Yvonne:My life is fine the way it is.

I may not be able to hold on to this job for long, but there will always be other ones.

Dylan:I wish I had your optimism.

To hear you speak, you'd think you were one of the privileged few.

Yvonne:It's all in your outlook on life.

I don't have mortgages to pay, cars to maintain, jets to fuel, and employees to support.

Dylan:You're right. You should be counting your blessings!
