1.人們通常喜歡聽好聽的話，一聽到拂耳之言就容易產(chǎn)生不悅甚至慍怒。

譯文：We tend to hear words pleasant to the ear but have displeasure and resentment at words harsh to the ear.

以上兩個短句間是轉(zhuǎn)折的關系，可以利用but進行銜接。

     2.一個人特別是身居要職的人要能夠心悅誠服地傾聽逆耳之良言并從中獲得智慧，就需要一種容忍和大度的雅量。

譯文：A man, especially one occupying an important position, needs tolerance and magnanimity to lend an ear to truthful yet offensive words with heartfelt admiration so as to gain wisdom from them.

    以上句子中"需要一種容忍和大度的雅量"的目的是要"能夠心悅誠服地傾聽逆耳之良言"，而"從中獲得智慧"又是"心悅誠服地傾聽逆耳之良言"的目的，目的關系可以通過不定式to或者so as to來進行銜接。

     3. 但在行為上，人們又時常背離這些古訓，不愿意聽或聽不進"逆耳"之言，"最終犯下嚴重的過失。

    譯文：However, in our behaviors, we tend to depart from those established maxims, reluctant to accept and follow those uncomfortable truths until eventually grave errors are committed.

"最終犯下嚴重的過失"一句，通過"最終"二字，說明和前面一個短句間的時間先后關系，所以我們可以采用until一詞來自然地進行銜接。
