昨天在电梯里碰上邻居何大妈，她跟我说他儿子上个月刚跳了槽，前两天又跳回原来的公司了，真是不明白他在瞎折腾个什么！

其实，我们每个人的潜意识里也总会觉得自己没得到的东西反而会更好吧！得嘞，今天就跟大家说一个短语---the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence，直译就是篱笆另一边的草总是更绿，就像咱们中文里所说的“这山望着那山高”是一个道理！不是有句俗话嘛--邻家芳草绿，隔岸风景好。唉，还是别老和别人比啦！只有这样才能得到更多的快乐！

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. 意思是其他人的处境似乎比你更好，但实际上他们的处境可能没有看起来那么好。Other people's lives or situations always seem better than your own. 别人的生活或情况似乎总是比你自己的好。Other people's circumstances or belongings always seem more desirable than one's own. 别人的境遇或财产似乎总是比自己的更令人向往。People always think they would be happier in a different set of circumstances. (Usually implies that the other circumstances really are not any better.) 人们总是认为在不同的环境下他们会更快乐。(通常意味着其他情况真的没有任何改善。) A different situation always seems better than one's own. 不同的环境似乎看上去总比自己现在的好。
