When the Reverend T. De Witt Talmage began to come into public notice in Brooklyn, some of Mr. Beecher's overzealous followers unwisely gave the impression that the Plymouth preacher resented sharing with another the pulpit fame which he alone had so long unquestioningly held. Nothing, of course, was further from Mr. Beecher's mind. As a matter of fact, the two men were exceedingly good friends. Mr. Beecher once met Doctor Talmage in a crowded business thoroughfare, where they got so deeply interested in each other's talk that they sat down in some chairs standing in front of a furniture store. A gathering throng of intensely amused people soon brought the two men to the realization that they had better move. Then Mr. Beecher happened to see that back of their heads had been, respectively, two signs: one reading, "This style $3.45," the other, "This style $4.25."

白话
当塔爾梅奇牧师在布鲁克林崭露头角时，比彻的一些过度热心的追随者不明智地给人印象，仿佛这位普利茅斯教堂的牧师不满别人分享他长期独占的讲坛声望。其实比彻根本没这个意思，两人还是极好的朋友。有一次比彻在拥挤的商业街上遇到塔爾梅奇，两人聊得太投入，竟坐在一家家具店门前的椅子上。围观的人越来越多，他们才意识到该走了。这时比彻发现两人脑后各有一块牌子：一块写着“这款3.45美元”，另一块写着“这款4.25美元”。核心是：旁观者容易替当事人制造竞争和敌意，而当事人可能根本不在意。做法是：不要替别人假设敌意，遇到传言先直接了解当事人的真实态度。

你是否曾替别人假设过敌意，而当事人其实根本不在意？
