The results are way lower than you expected, and you can’t help but feel as though all your hard work has been for nothing. You don’t think things could get any worse. Until you find out that your BFF has totally smashed (粉碎) it. Suddenly, all those feelings of disappointment turn into jealousy (忌妒). Sound familiar?

We’ve put together some tips to help you cope (应付). 你刚刚收到你的期末成绩，然而它们跟你预想的完全不一样。结果比你预期的要低很多，你不禁觉得你所有的努力都白费了。你觉得事情应该不会更糟了吧。直到你发现，你的死党完全粉碎了你的幻想。突然间，所有这些失望的感觉变成了忌妒。 这种情况听起来很熟悉？别担心，你并不孤单。我们以前都经历过这种情况。 如果你死党的成绩让你忌妒，那么尽量不要慌张。我们汇总了一些建议，以帮助你应对这种情况。 way adv 非常；极其 sb can not help but do sth 某人忍不住做某事 for nothing毫无结果；白白地 have been there before 亲身经历过 green with envy 忌妒的；眼红的 Be Happy For Them First things first, make sure you start things off right by congratulating them for doing well this semester (学期).
