2012年高考数学试题Speaking Different Languages
John Gray
[1] When Martians and Venusians first got together, they encountered many of the problems with relationships we have today. Becau they recognized that they were different, they were able to solve the problems. One of the crets of their success was good communication.
[2] Ironically, they communicated well becau they spoke different languages. When they had problems, they would just go to a translator for assistance. Everyone knew that people from Mars and people from Venus spoke different languages, so when there was
a conflict they didn't start judging or fighting but instead pulled out their phra dictionaries to understand each other more fully. If that didn't work they went to a translator for help. ccec
[3] You e, the Martian and Venusian languages had the same words but different meanings depending on the way they were ud. Their expressions were similar, but they had different connotations or emotional emphasis. Misinterpreting each other was very easy. So when communication problems emerged, they assumed it was just one of tho expected misunderstandings and that with a little assistance they would surely understand each other. They experienced a trust and acceptance that we rarely experience today.
[4] Even today we still need translators. Men and women ldom mean the same things even when they u the same words. For example, when a woman says, “I feel like you never listen,” she does not expect the word “never” to be taken literally. Using the word “never” is just a way of expressing the frustration she is feeling at the moment. It is not to be taken as if it were factual information.
[5] To fully express their feelings, women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit for effect and u various superlatives, metaphors, and generalizations. Men mistakenly take the expressions literally. Becau they misunderstand the intended meaning, they commonly react in an unsupportive manner. In the following chart ten complaints easily misinterpreted are listed, as well as how a man might respond unsupportively.
Ten Common Complaints That Are Easily Misinterpreted

[6] You can e how a “literal” translation of a woman's words could easily mislead a man who is ud to using speech as a means of conveying only facts and information. You can also e how a man's respons might lead to an argument. Unclear and unloving communication is the biggest problem in relationships. The number one complaint women have in relationships is: “I don't feel heard.”
[7] Even this complaint is misunderstood and misinterpreted!
[8] A man's literal translation of “I don't feel heard” leads him to take the woman's complai
nt lightly. He thinks he has heard her if he can repeat what she has said. A correct translation of a woman saying “I don't feel heard” is: “I feel as though you don't fully understand what I really mean to say or care about how I feel. Would you show me that you are interested in what I have to say”
[9] If a man really understood her complaint, then he would argue less and be able to respond more positively. When men and women are on the verge of arguing, they generally misunderstand each other. At such times, it is important to rethink or translate what they have heard.
