【解析】文章讲述的是作者通过邻居的工作生活方式，意识到了我们在对待工作和家庭生活时候应当采取的态度。
1.上下文，根据后文的 he did not park it in the garage可知，他家里有一个大的车库，但是他还把车停在马路上。
2.上下文，根据后文的why he did not park it in the garage可知，他把车停在了路上，作者就在想为什么不停在车库里。
3.同上，作者只是心里在纳闷，并没有真正去问他
4.根据In the afternoon可知，他是下班回来，out of work是失业
5.句意理解，下班后就可以去处理他的私人事务了，即personal affairs
6.句意理解，作者看到他回家后，处理私人事务还换了一辆车开，认为这太浪费了
7.句意理解，我一直对他的私车很好奇，一直没有看到，直到两周后的一个晚上，我碰巧在外面 happen to do意为碰巧干某事
8.同上
9.上下文，根据后面的he drove out in his “own” car可知，车库门打开，他开车出来
10.句意理解，当我意识到那意为着什么的时候，我彻底震惊了
11.句意理解，但是在他的内心深处，他把自己看作是另外一个。
12.上下文，根据后面的but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce可知，他是一个孩子的父亲
13.句意理解，全世界看到他的出租车，会叫他出租车司机，但是对他来说，出租车是为了谋生，而劳斯莱斯是为了生活
14.同上
15.根据every morning可知，早上起床
16.根据as close friends 可知，跟朋友在一起是参加聚会
17.跟家人一起去度假
18.常用搭配，跟ladder搭配的是ladder，意为爬梯子，这里指的是社会关系的梯子
19.上下文，根据后面的And we ignore our Rolls-Royce可知，这里对应的是上面讲到的邻居的出租车和他的劳斯莱斯，所以此处讲的是taxi'
20.句意理解，我们应当把中心放在我们是谁上面，而不是我们做什么工作。
