She's simply too strange. We can't relate to her, she speaks in a funny way, she comes from an odd place. So we can't relate to her, and when you can't relate to somebody, you don't envy them. The closer two people are -- in age, in background, in the process of identification -- the more there's a danger of envy, which is incidentally why none of you should ever go to a school reunion, because there is no stronger reference point than people one was at school with.
她太怪了,我们无法想象自己与她扯上关系,她的语调令人发噱,来自一个奇怪的地方,我们与她毫无关联。当你认为你与这个人毫无关联时,你便不会嫉妒。越是两个年龄、背景相近的人,越容易陷入嫉妒的苦海,所以千万避免去参加同学会。因为没有比同学,更强烈的参照点了。
大众不是一个参照物,而是一个对象。
