Mistakes are the things that nobody wants, but we still make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And why didn’t Andy pick up that I was friendly just because I had a car? " When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You’re a lucky dog" that’s being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to 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? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
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.
According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that________.
选项
A、we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B、people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C、people usually state one thing but means another
D、we tend to doubt what our friends say
答案
C
解析
细节题。从文章第二段第二句话“sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.”可知,有时人们说话时会隐藏起他们的真正意思,所以我们可能会因此而领悟不到人们说话的真正含义,对我们的朋友产生误解,故选C。
