We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?…‘When I got that great job，did Jerry really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” 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.And if we don’t really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you.‘‘you’re a lucky dog”.Is he really on your side? if he says.“You’re a lucky guy”or“You’re a lucky gal”.That’s being friendly.But“l(fā)ucky 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.
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 square with the tone of voice? His posture(體態(tài))?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

31-35 BCCCA
無論我們長到多少歲，都會犯錯誤。有時犯金錢上的錯誤，但大多數(shù)時間還是與人有關(guān)的錯誤�！叭绻液虷elen分手，Jerry會真的在意么?”“我得到了這么棒的工作，Jerry作為我的朋友衷心的為我感到高興么?或者他會嫉妒我的幸運?”當(dāng)我們回憶過去，類似這種的疑問讓我們感覺很不舒服。但是回憶起這些的時候，想補救已經(jīng)為時已晚了。
為什么我們總是對我們友善或者敵對的人會錯意思呢?因為，有的時候，人們真正要表達(dá)的意思其實隱藏在話語背后。那么如果我們沒有真正的去聆聽，就會錯過語言后的感情。要是有人對你說：“You’re a lucky dog.”他是真正的支持你的么?如果他說“你是個幸運的家伙”或者“你是個幸運的女孩”，他的態(tài)度應(yīng)該是友善的。但是，“l(fā)ucky dog”這個詞，好像有點嫉妒的味道在里面。也許說話人自己也沒有察覺到。但是，“dog”這個詞好像有點貶低你的意思。他想說的可能是他覺得你不配這么幸運。
那么如何分辨出別人話語之外的意思呢?一個辦法就是仔細(xì)觀察說話的人。他說的話和他說話的樣子搭配么?和說話的語調(diào)符合么?和他的姿勢呢?還有眼神?停下來想一想。你用來思索別人話語真正意思花的很少的時間，也許避免了另一個錯誤。
