揭穿:大家想做却不说的7件事

3、“这个人比我挣钱多？”

How much are your coworkers making? How about your friends? Your frenemies? Your cousins? Where are they geting that nice new blazer, and those fancy throw pillows? What kind of money are they making? They should be paying for my drinks with all this money they’re throwing around. If you could just get, like, an estimate within a 5,000-dollar range, that would be perfect. Just enough to know that you shouldn’t be seething with jealousy.

你的同事挣多少钱？朋友呢？竞争性伙伴呢？堂兄弟姐妹呢？他们在哪里买到的新法兰绒衣服，还有那些奇妙的抱枕？他们挣的是什么钱？他们应当用他们甩出来的钱为我的饮料付帐。如果你能够挣，比如，估计5000美元之内（可能是说差距吧，译注），那非常理想。刚好使你不会充满忌妒。

4. “Am I going to jump right now?”

4、“我现在跳下去吗?"

Whether standing on a subway platform or on the rooftop of a building which would definitely flatten you immediately if you fell, there is always that terrifying moment of “What if I just tipped right over and ended it all?” You’re not sad, you don’t want to die, and you’re not the kind of person who even goes for an adrenaline rush, and yet — it’s all you can think about it. Even the most even-keeled person is guaranteed to get a rush or two of “Maybe I would just break all the bones in my legs and still make it out okay” when looking over the railings of a long stairwell. It’s human nature, and yet it never gets any less unnerving. Because what are you going to do? You can’t just turn to your friend and be like, “Don’t mind me, I’m just contemplating my mortality for a hot sec. I might jump, but probably won’t. You can have my XBox just in case I do.” I mean, you could, but I would discourage it.
