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 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 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" 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 square 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.
This passage tries to tell you how to______.
选项
A、avoid mistakes about both money and people
B、say things elegantly
C、avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D、keep people friendly without trusting them
答案
C
解析
主旨大意题。文章第一段举例说明我们在领会他人真正的意思上犯有错误,接着举例说明人们所说的话是怎样掩盖了他们真正的意思,最后一段告诉我们如何领会他人的真正意思。全文都是围绕“如何领会他人暗含之意”展开的,据此可推知C正确。
