Writer and speaker, jennifer james explains it this way, “jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point – that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.”
作家兼演說家，詹尼佛·詹姆斯這樣說：“妒忌明顯是害怕自己沒有價值的表現。妒忌總是在尋找機會證明一點——別人比你受到了優待。”
As you can see, the meanings of jealousy and envy overlap. Both emotions have been associated with the color green: the common expression, green with envy and shakespeare’s words in othello, “o! beware my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-ey’d monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.”
不難發現，嫉妒與妒忌在含義上有所重疊。兩者都與“綠”顏色扯上了關系——常說的妒忌得臉都綠了和莎士比亞《奧賽羅》里面的“哦！君上您要留心嫉妒啊, 那是一個綠眼的妖魔。誰做了它的犧牲,就要受它的玩弄。”
The bottom line is that both are negative feelings that can lead to unproductive and damaging behavior. If you want to live a happy, successful and satisfying life, you must be aware of and guard yourself against these destructive emotions.
最起碼，這兩個都是消極的情緒，都會導致無益甚至有害的行為。如果你想要幸福、成功、生活充實，你必須要警戒自己遠離這些負面情緒。
Wanting a fancy car just like your neighbor’s, feeling like you should have received the company promotion rather than your co-worker, thinking that everyone around you is more financially secure, or believing that you can’t attract good friends or a marital partner are just a few examples of how jealousy and envy can play a role in our personal and professional lives.
想擁有一輛和鄰居一樣的豪車，覺得自己應該被晉升而不是同事，覺得周圍所有人財務都比你富足，認為你不會結交好朋友或者找到合適的生活伴侶。這些都是嫉妒和妒忌會在我們的生活和職場生活中帶來的影響。
Being envious or jealous focuses on the other person’s “things” or circumstances that seem more attractive to you than yours. Instead of looking at what you are lacking, look at what you have that everyone else is lacking and accept yourself for who you are.
嫉妒和妒忌的人都是關注他人擁有的東西和他人所處的更優越的環境。不要總是關注你沒有什么，你要看的是什么是你擁有而其他所有人都沒有的，學會接受這樣的自己。
If you are going to live life to it’s fullest potential while enjoying the journey, you’ll need to make it a priority to develop your sense of self-worth. Not only do we all look different, we are different. we all have different strengths, skills, talents, gifts and abilities that are unique to us. It is simply not reasonable to think you can have them all, nor is it necessary. Each one of us has strengths and weaknesses.
如果你希望享受自己的人生旅途，同時將人生的意義最大化，你首先要做的事情應該是培養自我價值意識。人不光長相各不相同，我們的優勢、技能、天賦、才能和能力也各不相同。想擁有一切的想法太不理智。每個人都有自己的優缺點。
My experience has taught me that the only way you will be happy is if you are happy with who you are. If you lead a life focused on comparing yourself to others, you will likely end up unhappy, unfulfilled, unloved and unsuccessful.
我的經驗告訴我，要想獲得快樂的的唯一途徑就是認可自己。如果你的生活重點是和別人比較，你很有可能會感到不幸、不滿足、缺乏愛和成功。
