该句通过对比结构表达对他人生活状态的主观评价。
One silent night, the lock woke the key and complained, "I work hard every day to guard the door for our master, yet it is you whom he loves most, always keeping you by his side. I truly envy you!" The key replied indignantly, "You stay at home every day in such comfort and ease! Meanwhile, I follow the master everywhere, braving sun and rain, which is so exhausting. I envy you even more!" One day, wanting to experience a life of ease, the key decided to hide itself. When the master returned home and found the key missing, he grew furious and smashed the lock, tossing it into the trash. After entering the house, the master found the key and said angrily, "The lock is broken; what use are you now?" With that, he threw the key into the trash as well. Meeting again in the garbage heap, the lock and the key lamented, "Our tragic end today is because we failed to recognize each other's value and contributions in the past. Instead, we were always envying what the other had, constantly calculating, doubting, and jealous of one another."
一个深夜，寂静无声。锁叫醒了钥匙，并埋怨道：“我每天辛辛苦苦为主人看守家门，可主人最喜欢的却是你，总把你带在身边，我真是羡慕你啊！”钥匙也不满地回应道：“你每天待在家里，是多么安逸舒适啊！而我每天跟着主人奔波，日晒雨淋，辛苦极了，我反而更羡慕你！”有一天，钥匙也想过过安逸的生活，于是故意把自己藏了起来。主人出门归来，发现钥匙不见了，气急败坏之下竟把锁砸碎，并顺手扔进了垃圾堆。随后，主人在屋里找到了钥匙，愤怒地说道：“锁也被砸了，现在留下你还有什么用呢？”说完，也将钥匙扔进了垃圾堆。在垃圾堆中相遇的锁和钥匙，不由感叹道：“我们今天落得如此悲惨的下场，都是因为过去没能看到对方的价值与付出，只会这山望着那山高，彼此斤斤计较、猜疑嫉妒啊！”
