VII. Translation from English into Chinese (15 points)
将下列短文已成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
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 (妒忌) my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And is 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 (小伙子)”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
