We can make mistakes at any age. And most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke my leg?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒) my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
① Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. ② Suppose(假设) someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." That's being friendly. ③ But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck. ④
"Just think of all the things you should be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? The thought in this phrase is that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving(挨饿的) people in the world when you haven't got the new bike you want.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think, The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
