学会沉默-大家在八卦时

When people are gossiping

大家在八卦时

People love gossiping and many of us can't help it.

人们都爱八卦，这是大家没法控制的事情。

It's refreshing. It makes life seem a bit better.

八卦能让人精神振奋，似乎生活也变得更好了。

But the next time you hear gossiping, especially about your friends, try holding your tongue.

但如果你听到了一些八卦，尤其是关于你朋友的，还是闭上嘴吧。

Listen to what the gossiper is saying, it may reveal a lot about both parties.

听听那些聊八卦的人在说什么，也许能让你更加了解自己的朋友。

Instead of being like “yeahh, she is a b*$$#,” trysaying "well, she's trying her hardest" and see what the response is.

与其说：“是啊，她真的很贱。” 不如说：“我知道她已经很努力了”，看看别人的反应。

Deny yourself that tiny pleasure from putting someone else down.

别让自己的小快乐建立在贬低别人的基础上。
