原文中文
斤斤计较是一种消极的人生态度。有些人不仅计较报酬多少，还计较他人的态度，甚至对于多年以前的过节也耿耿于怀。我也曾遇到过这样的人。在一次初中同学聚会上，三十多年未见，大家本该感慨万分，谁知对方却言语不投机，饭局还没过半，就开始翻旧账，抱怨当年谁曾得罪过他。这种心态难怪会让人生活不顺，整天沉溺于陈年旧事，又怎能拥有开阔的心胸呢？
Being petty is a negative way of living.
斤斤计较是一种消极的生活方式。
使用了动名词短语Being petty作为句子的主语。
Being petty is a negative way of living. Some people not only obsess over financial rewards but also fret over others' attitudes, even holding grudges over slights from years ago. I once encountered such a person. During a middle school reunion, after thirty years of separation, everyone should have been filled with emotion. Instead, the conversation was strained; before the meal was even halfway through, the person began bringing up old grievances, complaining about how someone had offended them years ago. It is no wonder such a person struggles in life; if one is constantly dwelling on the past, how can they ever achieve a broader perspective?
