Lesson 49 Get Along with Others

Hi class! We have an interesting topic for this unit.

同学们好！我们本单元讨论一个有趣的话题。

First, let me ask you a question:

首先，我来问大家一个问题：

How do you get along with others in school or at home?

在学校或在家你是怎样和他人相处的呢？

I think I'm doing well. I have many friends.

我认为我做得很好，我有很多朋友。

I have many friends, too. We have a lot of fun together.

我也有很多朋友，我们在一起很开心。

Do you always get along well with your friends?

你们和朋友们之间总是相处得很好吗？

Well, not always...

嗯，也不总是……

Sometimes friends have misunderstandings.

有时候朋友间会有些误会。

Sometimes a friend really hurts you without realizing it.

有时候朋友的确会无意中伤害你。

That's true. Friendship requires good communication.

的确。友谊需要良好的沟通。

Very good point. If we can't communicate well,

很好的观点。如果我们不能很好地沟通，

we can hardly get along with our friends.

那么我们很难与朋友们相处。

It's the same with family relationships.

家庭关系也一样。

I guess that people who know how to communicate well with others are happier and more satisfied with their lives.

我认为，知道如何与他人相处的人生活会更幸福，更满意。

They are more likely to succeed in their jobs.

Exactly! That's why communication is very important.

非常正确！这就是为什么沟通非常重要的原因。

It's always better to get things out in the open - talk about a problem, come to a solution or move on.

把事情公开总是会更好——谈论某个个问题，形成解决方案，或继续推进。

Bad feelings like hate and anger can make you seriously ill.

讨厌或愤怒的坏情绪会让人身患重病。

This week we'll talk more about communication.
