Tony and Kate are classmates. They are going to graduate soon.
Have you thought about your future career yet?
As a matter of fact, I was just reading a magazine article about career choices... Here it is. What's your star sign?
Scorpio, but what's that got to do with careers?
This article matches personalities to suitable jobs, according to people's star signs.
So what does it say about mine?
Let's see. It says you love to investigate, so you would be a good detective.
That sounds right. Maybe there's some truth to astrology.
Not in this case. Your sister told me you can't even detect your own school bag in the morning.
Ha ha, very funny. Anyway, what about you?
I'm an Aries, so I have strong observational skills. It suggests I could be a good spy.
A spy? That's crazy. You can't keep your mouth shut. The whole world would know our national secrets.
Well, it also says I could be a funeral director. Hmm. You'll be my first client if you're not careful.
Tony 跟 Kate 是同班同學。他們馬上就要畢業了。
妳想到未來要從事哪種行業了嗎?
事實上,我剛剛正好在雜誌裡讀到關於職業選擇的一篇文章...在這裡。你是什麼星座呢?
天蠍座,但那跟職業有什麼關係?
這篇文章根據人們的星座配對出適合他們性格的工作。
那它怎麼說我的星座?
讓我看看。它說你喜歡調查,所以你會是一個好偵探。
聽起來很對。也許占星學是有幾分真實性的。
在後面這個情況就不是囉。你姊姊跟我說你今天早上連自己的書包都找不到。
哈哈,非常好笑。不管怎樣,那妳呢?
我是牡羊座,所以我有很強的觀察能力。它建議我可以當一名好間諜。
間諜?那太瘋狂了。妳管不住妳的嘴巴。全世界都會知道我們國家的祕密。
那,它也有說我可以做殯葬業者。嗯。如果你不小心一點,你就會變成我第一個客人。
