There’s been animosity between my two neighbors for years - they’re always complaining about each other to the building manager. One plays music too loud, the other parks in the wrong spot. It’s gotten so bad that they won’t even say hello in the hallway. I wish they could just talk it out.
我的两个邻居之间多年来一直有敌意——他们总是向大楼管理员抱怨对方。一个音乐太大声,另一个停错了位置。情况变得如此糟糕,以至于他们甚至不会在走廊里打招呼。我希望他们能谈谈。
