Here’s a translation of the passage:

你看到朋友成功了。毫无疑问，你为此感到高兴。你爱你的朋友，或许你甚至帮助他实现了目标。然而，你心中还有另一种感觉，一种阴暗的感觉。你开始希望成功的人是你，而不是你的朋友，你甚至开始讨厌你的朋友。起初，这种嫉妒的感觉像一颗微小的种子，但随后它像种子一样开始生长，威胁着你。

当然，你为自己的感觉感到难过，因为它已经成为你们友谊的障碍。但似乎你无法做任何事情。面对朋友不可避免地会增加你们之间的紧张，而避免他只会拉大你们之间的鸿沟。

与其因为嫉妒感到内疚或憎恨你的朋友，你应该采取不同的做法。利用你朋友的成功作为一个挑战。他成功了，这意味着你也可以成功。通过这样思考，你可以利用你的情感并将其引导到不会破坏友谊的行动中。

记住，友谊可以经受住友好的竞争。然而，如果你心存嫉妒，你将无法维持这段友谊。

One of the terrbl costs of conflict is the resulting damage to relationships. Conflictstrains relationships and makes it ifficult for parties to recognize that they 1commonneeds and goals. The more 2 the conflict, the greater the psychological distance betweengroups. Extremely 3 relationships tend to persist and make such conflicts 4 serious.5 , human relationships also have the power to defuse (EE Fn) conflict and make iteasier to resolve. In fact, establishing personal relationships is often a(n) 6 way to solveconfict. Conficts cannot be genuinely solved 7 the adversaries (atF) are tied togetherwith some sense of unity and commonality.

冲突的一个严重代价是对人际关系造成的破坏。冲突会加剧紧张关系，并使各方难以认识到他们1共同的需求和目标。冲突越2，群体之间的心理距离就越大。极端3的关系往往会持续下去，并使冲突更加4严重。然而，5，人际关系也有能力缓解冲突，使其更容易解决。事实上，建立个人关系往往是解决冲突的一种6有效方式。冲突无法真正解决，7除非对立双方在某种意义上被团结和共通感联系在一起。
