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?
使用了not only... but also...这一递进连词结构。
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?
