吐槽的人

清晨朗读会第1138期翻译练习。

Complainers

By Derek Sivers

When you hear someone complaining, here’s what it means:

They know what’s wrong, but don’t realize they can change it. (They think they’re powerless.)

They know what’s wrong, but are too lazy to change it. (They’d rather sit and complain.)

On the personal side, being a friend, I hate this. Because it’s a lot of work to make complainers realize they can change things. They always push back with all the reasons they can’t, which just reinforces the two points above.

On the business side, being an entrepreneur, I love this. Because I know I’m powerful and can change anything. Because every complaint is an opportunity. It’s fun to invent solutions to problems, turn ideas to reality, and watch my creations make the world a little better.

Then afterwards, on a personal note, I can say, “There! See? Told you it could change.”

吐槽的人

作者：Derek Silvers

当你听到有人在吐槽，意思是：

他们知道问题点，但是他们觉得无力改变。（他们觉得自己没这个能力。）

他们知道问题点，但是他们懒得去改变。（他们宁愿坐下来吐槽。）

站在个人角度，作为朋友，我讨厌这样。因为要让吐槽的人意识到他们能作出改变，需要费尽心思。而他们通常会找各种理由拒绝，到头来却只会让他们更加坚持上面提到的两点。

站在商业角度，作为企业家，我喜欢这样。因为我知道我很厉害，可以改变一切。任何吐槽都是一个机会。找到问题的解决方案，将想法变成现实，亲眼看着自己的创造让世界变得更美好，本来就是一种乐趣。

然后，就个人而言，我会说：“咯，看见了吗？，我就说你能改变它的。
