42 According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A)Men tend to give supportive responses because they don’t want arguments with women.
(B)Women often don’t feel heard because men have hearing problems. 
(C)Women tend to take poetic license to express their feelings.
(D)Men fail to listen to facts and information and so feel tired of women’s nagging.

Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words. To fully express their feelings, women assume認可, 假定，假設 poetic license詩的破格；藝術變通手法 and use various superlatives（形容詞或副詞的）最高級形式, 最好, metaphors隱喻；暗喻, and generalizations普遍化，歸納陳述.

Men mistakenly take these expressions literally. Because they misunderstand the intended打算，計劃 meaning, they commonly react in an unsupportive不支持 manner方式，方法, 行為.

A “literal” translation（從一種語言到另一種語言的）翻譯；譯文 of a woman’s words could easily mislead a man who is used to using speech as a means of conveying傳達, 表達 only facts and information.

Besides, a man’s responses might lead to an argument. Unclear and unloving communication is the biggest problem in relationships.

The number one complaint women have in relationships is: “I don’t feel heardhear的过去式.”

Even this complaint is misunderstood and misinterpreted誤解；誤釋!

A man’s literal translation of “I don’t feel heard” leads him to invalidate無效；使作廢 her feelings.

He thinks he has heard her if he can repeat what she has said. However, a correct translation of a woman saying “I don’t feel heard” is: “I feel as though you don’t fully understand what I really mean to say or care about how I feel.”

If a man really understood her complaint then he would argue less and be able to respond more positively.

When men and women are on the verge邊；邊緣 of arguing, they are generally misunderstanding each other. At such times, it is important to rethink or translate what they have heard.
