People will admit to being envious but will rarely admit to being jealous. People sometimes enjoy inspiring or arousingenvy in other people, but they do not generally like to cause or provokejealousy. * jealousy是比envy更不好的感觉,常会使人做出不友好或愚蠢的举动。人们会承认自己envious,但很少会承认自己jealous。有时候人们喜欢被别人羡慕,而激起他人的艳羡用inspire/arouse envy;但人们一般不想引起他人的忌妒,而引发忌妒用cause/provoke jealousy。
