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

　　A.feels happy，thinking of how nice his friends were to him

　　B.feels he may not have“read” his friends’true feelings correctly

　　無(wú)論我們長(zhǎng)到多少歲，都會(huì)犯錯(cuò)誤。有時(shí)犯金錢上的錯(cuò)誤，但大多數(shù)時(shí)間還是與人有關(guān)的錯(cuò)誤�！叭绻�我和Helen分手，Jerry會(huì)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(huì)嫉妒我的幸運(yùn)?”當(dāng)我們回憶過(guò)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(shí)候，想補(bǔ)救已經(jīng)為時(shí)已晚了。

　　為什么我們總是對(duì)我們友善或者敵對(duì)的人會(huì)錯(cuò)意思呢?因?yàn)�，有的時(shí)候，人們真正要表達(dá)的意思其實(shí)隱藏在話語(yǔ)背后。那么如果我們沒有真正的去聆聽，就會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)語(yǔ)言后的感情。要是有人對(duì)你說(shuō)：“You’re a lucky dog.”他是真正的支持你的么?如果他說(shuō)“你是個(gè)幸運(yùn)的家伙”或者“你是個(gè)幸運(yùn)的女孩”，他的態(tài)度應(yīng)該是友善的。但是，“l(fā)ucky dog”這個(gè)詞，好像有點(diǎn)嫉妒的味道在里面。也許說(shuō)話人自己也沒有察覺到。但是，“dog”這個(gè)詞好像有點(diǎn)貶低你的意思。他想說(shuō)的可能是他覺得你不配這么幸運(yùn)。

　　那么如何分辨出別人話語(yǔ)之外的意思呢?一個(gè)辦法就是仔細(xì)觀察說(shuō)話的人。他說(shuō)的話和他說(shuō)話的樣子搭配么?和說(shuō)話的語(yǔ)調(diào)符合么?和他的姿勢(shì)呢?還有眼神?停下來(lái)想一想。你用來(lái)思索別人話語(yǔ)真正意思花的很少的時(shí)間，也許避免了另一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。
