We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. One might say, "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 Paul—why didn’t I pick up that he 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 are we 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 says to you, "You are a lucky dog". There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" he 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 thanking 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 have not 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 square with his 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.
Therefore, when you hear some one saying, please try to know what he really means. Don’t just listen to what he says with your ears but feel the words he uses with your head. In this way you may make fewer mistakes. [br] In the second paragraph, the writer talks about someone saying "You are a lucky dog." He is saying that______.
选项
A、the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly.
B、dog can’t be used to refer to people.
C、this saying means the same as "You are a lucky guy" or "you are a lucky gal."
D、sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words.
答案
D
解析
文中并没有说到“狗”不能用来指代人,所以排除B,而A,C的意思都是认为他的朋友在羡慕他,夸他,但从“But bringing in the ‘dog’ he put you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck”就可得出他的朋友并不是真正是这个意思,所以选D。
