9、 total mess here - hope you can help me out! 2 Im 17, and a member of our school basketball team. Im crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so，mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. Th
10、e point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasnt even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviou, I said all this to my best friend. I was just ltting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what Id said. 尊敬的知心姐姐 我这儿一团糟，希望您能帮我一把! 我今年17岁，是学校篮球队的
11、一员。我酷爱打篮球，打得也很好，也许正因如此，在我们队输掉了最近的比赛时我相当恼怒。我们打得不错,但我感觉整个团队都被一个队友拖累了,那就是我们的控球后卫。控球后卫是队里的关键球员，但他却好像不在场上似的!我对他的所作所为感到失望，就把这些全部告诉了我最好的朋友。我其实只是想发泄一下怒气,因为我太生气了，可我的朋友随后却把我的话告诉了所有人。 3 This is so totally awkward. Im really angry with my friend - what should I say to him? And should I say anything at all to my
12、 teammate? 4 Embarrassed and ashamed, I cant concentrate on anything, Please help! Ben 3 这太让人难堪了。我对朋友气恼不我应该对他说些什么?另外，我是否应该对我的队友说点什么? 4 我既尴尬又羞愧，做什么事都无法集中精力。请您帮帮我吧! 1 Dear Ben, There is an old American saying, Loose lips sink ships. This means that if you speak too much about something,especially to p
13、eople who you dont know so well, Ill cause all kinds of trouble. 亲爱的本， 美国有一句老话:“口风不紧船舰沉。”意思是说如果你对某件事谈论得过多，尤其是跟你不太了解的人谈论，会招来各种各样的麻烦。2The situation here is so much worse because the loose lips were your best friends. Treated this way, youre sure to feel hurt - we should always be able to trust those d
14、osest to us, and it hurts even more when we find we cant.你的情况更为糟糕,因为“口风不紧”的人是你最好的朋友。被这样对待，你一定觉得受到了伤害一-我们应该一直能够信赖最亲近的人，当我们发现他们不能信赖时，就更伤心了。 3 But I have to say that its partly your fault, isnt it? You admit that you were letting off steam. It is understandable in that situation, but we should always t
15、hink before we speak. 不过我不得不说你也有-部分责任,不是吗?你承认了你“只是想发泄一下怒气”。这在当时的情况下可以理解，但我们在说话前应该先想清楚。 4 Heres what you need to do. First, apologise to your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games (and Im sure you dol!), you need to work together,and that means communicating with each other clea
16、rly and resolving conflicts. So have a chat with your teammate. Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking. 现在你应该这么做。第-步，向你的队友道歉。如果你们以后篮球比赛还想赢球(我肯定你们一定想赢! ) ,你们就必须团结合作，这就意味着你们彼此间必须沟通清楚，解决矛盾。所以，找你那位队友聊聊吧，直接诚恳地告诉他你当时的话没有经过认真考虑。 5 Then, talk to your friend. Friendship should
17、be one of the greatest things in the world, but sometimes it can be dfcult. Again, your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend youre angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on. Approached in this way, your friendship will soon b
18、e repaired. 第二步，和你的朋友聊聊吧。友谊应该是世上最好的事物之一了，但有时也会有些麻烦。同样,你的策略是进行清楚明确的沟通。告诉你的朋友，他传话的行为让情况更糟糕了,你对此很生气，但你想让事情就此过去。通过这个方式处理,你们的友谊很快就会被修复。 6 Thirdly, and perhaps most importanty, think about your own behaviour Dont say too much when youre angry! Filled with anger, you tend to say whatever comes to your mind
19、. This gives people the wrong signal. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you fee one of your teammates isnt pulling their weight, then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach. 7 If you think about other peoples feelings as well as your own, youll soon find everything works out. Good luck! Ayouu Aunt 第三步，也许是最重要的一点，你要反思自己的行为。生气的时候不要说太多话!满腔怒火的时候，你往往想到什么就说什么。这会给别人错误的信号。深呼吸，冷静下来，并时刻记住:先思而后言。如果你觉得某个队友没有尽职尽责，那你要以更专业的方式向教练提出你的担心。如果你能在考虑自己感受的同时也考虑别人的感受，很快你就会发现情况将逐渐好转。
