輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第240期:這山望着那山高

核心句型：
The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill.
這山望着那山高。
The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill. 本義是：“山丘另一側的草總是綠一些”，那麼它的引申意義也就是我們漢語裏常說的一句諺語：“這山望着那山高”，比喻對目前的工作或環境不滿意，老認爲別的工作、別的環境更好。因此，當美國人說"The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill."時，他/她要表達的意思就是"People never feel satisfied with what they've already got."、"Man is always dissatisfied with his present condition."。
情景對白：

Benjamin: The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill. Tomorrow is promised to nobody. You'd better think twice before you act.
本傑明：這山望着那山高，誰也不能保證明天會怎樣。你最好三思而後行。

③But they do provide a higher salary.
