The grass is always greener 你眼中總是別人家的草更綠嗎？

昨天在電梯裡碰上鄰居何大媽，她跟我說他兒子上個月剛跳了槽，前兩天又跳回原來的公司了，真是不明白他在瞎折騰個什麼！

其實，我們每個人的潛意識裡也總會覺得自己沒得到的東西反而會更好吧！得嘞，今天就跟大家說一個短語---the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence，直譯就是籬笆另一邊的草總是更綠，就像咱們中文裡所說的「這山望著那山高」是一個道理！不是有句俗話嘛--鄰家芳草綠，隔岸風景好。唉，還是別老和別人比啦！只有這樣才能得到更多的快樂！

the grass is always greener (on the other side)

【En】Mean that other people often seem to be in a better situation than you, but in reality their situation may not be as good as it seems. 意思是其他人的處境似乎比你更好，但實際上他們的處境可能沒有看起來那麼好。Other people&39;s circumstances or belongings always seem more desirable than one&39;s own. 不同的環境似乎看上去總比自己現在的好。

鄰家芳草綠，隔岸風景好；不滿足於現狀，不知足，總覺得可以更好，這山望著那山高；見異思遷

【例】The grass is always greener on the other side—the sooner you realize that and stop comparing your life to others&39;ll be!

這山望著那山高，你越早意識到這一點，越早停止拿自己的生活和別人比較，你就會越快樂!
