Correcto

• 心理学研究表明，长期压抑的嫉妒情绪如果得不到适当疏导，会逐渐演变为对他人成功的系统性贬低，并对当事人的自我评价造成深远的负面影响。(Psychological research indicates that chronically suppressed jealousy, if not properly channelled, gradually develops into a systematic belittling of others' successes and exerts a far-reaching negative impact on the individual's self-evaluation.)
• 职场中的嫉妒心理往往源于对有限晋升资源的激烈竞争，管理者应通过透明的绩效评估机制加以疏解，而非任其累积发酵。(Jealousy in the workplace often stems from fierce competition for limited promotion opportunities; managers should alleviate it through transparent performance evaluation mechanisms rather than allowing it to accumulate and ferment.)

Incorrecto

• 我嫉妒你的才华 — while grammatically possible, 羡慕 is more natural for admiration of ability; reserve 嫉妒 for resentment-tinged envy
