在孩提時代，我們和朋友呆在一起的時間不計其數：馬拉松式的電話交談以及整夜在一起學習和嬉笑。即使在交了男朋友之后，我們最好的朋友的位置還是不可替代。正是這在一起的時間培養了我們之間的友誼?，F在我們都是成年人了，時間似乎總是不夠用。丈夫、孩子、事業和業余愛好都要投入精力，因而很多時候騰出時間會朋友的事就被擱置到了一邊。然而，頗有諷刺意味的是，在我們的成年時代，我們同樣需要朋友。一個友誼網對于我們成年人的幸福是至關重要的，我們必須努力去建立和保持這個網絡。以下是達到這一目標的幾個重要方法：ToBeaBetterFriend如何成為一名更好的朋友Backwhenwewerekids,thehoursspentwithfriendsweretoonumeroustocount.Thereweremarathontelephoneconversations,all-nightstudyingandgigglingsessions.Evenafterboyfriendsenteredthepicture,ourbestfriendsremainedirreplaceable.Andtimewasthemeansbywhichwenurturedthosefriendships.Nowasadultwomenweneverseemtohaveenoughtimeforanything.Husbands,kids,careersandavocation-allrequireattention;toooften,makingtimeforourfriendscomeslastonthelistofpriorities.Andyet,ironically,weneedourfriendsasmuchaseverinadulthood.Afriendshipnetworkisabsolutelycrucialforourwellbeingasadults.Wehavetodothehardworkofbuildingandsustainingthenetwork.Herearesomeimportantwaysforaccomplishingthis.1Text

放棄不重要的友情。許多友誼本來就不會持續一生。有些友誼隨時間而消失，這是情理之中的事。此外，現在每個人的社交生活都那么繁忙，所以，要放棄那些你并不想真正接近的人，利用更多的時間去培養那些最可能持久的友情。ToBeaBetterFriend如何成為一名更好的朋友Letgoofyourlesscentralfriendships.Manyofourfriendshipsarenevermeanttolastalifetime.It'snaturalthatsomefriendshipshavetimelimits.Furthermore,noweveryonehasabusysocialcalendar,sopullbackfromsomepeoplethatyoudon'treallywanttodrawclosetoandgivethemostpromisingfriendshipafairchancetogrow2Text

急朋友之所急。也許，當你剛坐下想和丈夫享受一頓浪漫的晚餐時，朋友卻突然打來電話，她正為某個問題沮喪不已。在某些情況下，朋友之需顯得尤為重要，而這只是其中的一個例子。有時，我們雖然想伸出援助之手，但卻因為有事無法分身或別的原因，無法助朋友一臂之力。如果你當時不能給朋友以幫助，那么不妨對他/她說：“我真希望能陪陪你——我聽得出來你很痛苦。我明天給你打電話行嗎？"一定要讓你的朋友意識到你對他/她的關心。ToBeaBetterFriend如何成為一名更好的朋友Bewillingto"dropeverything"whenyou'retrulyneeded.Youmaygetacallfromafriendwhoisreallydepressedoveracertainproblemwhenyouarejustsittingdowntoenjoyaromanticdinnerwithyourhusband.Thisisjustoneofthoseinstanceswhenafriend'sneedsmattermore.Sometimes,becauseofourunbreakablecommitmentsorothercircumstances,wesimplycan'tgiveaneedyfriendthetimewe'dlike.Ifyoucan'tbethereatthatmoment,saysomethinglike,"IwishIcouldbewithyou-Icanhearthatyou'reinpain.MayIcallyoutomorrow?"Besureyourfriendknowshe/sheiscaredabout.3Text

多發信件。幾乎每個人都有遠在異地讓我們非常思念的朋友。由于抽不出時間去走動，電話費又那么貴，寫信是一種保持聯系的好方法。這種方式讓寫信人和收信人都感到高興。另外，信件、卡片和明信片看得見摸得著，朋友可以將其保存起來，以后還可以多次閱讀。ToBeaBetterFriend如何成為一名更好的朋友Takeadvantageofthemails.Nearlyallofushavepals

不要過分卷入朋友的問題。分擔朋友的痛苦是表現友情的一種方式。但是承擔朋友的痛苦并不能消除其痛苦。同情或理解朋友的痛苦與過分認同有很大區別，過分認同會使對方感到自己更脆弱。記住，處于逆境中的人只是需要朋友幫助他們保持理智、冷靜的頭腦。ToBeaBetterFriend如何成為一名更好的朋友Don'tmakeyourfriends'problemsyourown.Sharingyourfriend'sgriefisthewayyoushowdeepfriendship.Buttakingonyourfriend'spaindoesn'tmakethatpaingoaway.There''sabigdifferencebetweenempathyorrecognizingafriend'spain,andover-identification,whichmakesthesuffererfeelevenweaker.Remembertroubledpeoplejustneedtheirfriendstostaygroundedintheirownfeelings.5Text

切勿低估忠誠的價值。忠誠一直被看作是朋友間最珍貴的品質之一。名副其實的忠誠是相當微妙的。有人認為忠誠意味著不管你做什么，你的朋友總是站在你這一邊。但真正的忠誠指的是接受其人，而不一定贊同其所有的行為。ToBeaBetterFriend如何成為一名更好的朋友Neverunderestimatethevalueofloyalty.Loyaltyhasbeenratedasoneofthemostdesiredqualitiesinfriends.Trueloyaltycanbeafairlysubtlething.Somepeoplefeelitmeansthat,nomatterwhat,yourfriendwillalwaystakeyourside.Butrealloyaltyisacceptingtheperson,notnecessarilythecertainactionsyourfriendmighttake.6Text

維持友誼的最后一點，也是同樣重要的一點，就是在通完電話或拜訪結束時說一句，或在生日卡上寫一句：“我想你，愛你！"這簡單的話語會在你們分開的日子里維系你們的友誼。ToBeaBetterFriend如何成為一名更好的朋友Thelastbutnottheleastthingtokeepafriendshipaliveistosaytoyourfriends"Imissyouandloveyou."Sayingthatattheendofaphoneconversation,oravisit,orwritingitonabirthdaycard,cansustainyourfriendshipforthetimesyouaren'ttogether.7LanguagePointsoftheText1.Backwhenwewerekids,thehoursspentwithfriendsweretoonumeroustocount.(Para.1)…toonumeroustocount:此處動詞不定式

tocount采用了主動式。在"形容詞+不定式"這一結構中，句子主語與不定式動詞常構成邏輯上的動賓關系，這時不定式動詞一般不用被動式。如：a.Thequestionisverydifficulttoanswer.b.Biographiesareofteninterestingtoread.c.Thefurniturewillbeheavytomove.比較下面兩句：

a.Thereportiseasytowrite.b.Thereportisallreadytobetyped.前句著眼于不定式的動作，easy是針對towritethereport而言，因此也可作Itiseasytowritethereport；后句重點則在主語本身，ready針對的是thereport。LanguagePointsoftheText2.Thereweremarathontelephoneconversations,all-nightstudyingandgigglingsessions.(Para.1)1)這是一個clarifyingsentence，用生動、典型的例子（marathontelephoneconversations,all-nightstudyingandgigglingsessions）來具體說明前一句中"thehoursspentwithfriendsweretoonumeroustocount"。2)all-night:adj.lastingthroughoutthenight"通宵的；徹夜的"Thisshopgivesall-nightservice.這家商店通宵營業。LanguagePointsoftheText2.Thereweremarathontelephoneconversations,all-nightstudyingandgigglingsessions.(Para.1)3)session:n.ameetingoraparticularperiodoftimeusedesp.byagroupforaparticularpurpose"會期；（一群人在一起做某事的）一段時間"aquestion-and-answersession

本句中

bywhichwenurtured…是一個由前置的介詞by+關系代詞which引出的定語從句，修飾先行詞means。在由介詞賓語+關系代詞引出的定語從句中，介詞的選擇往往要根據習慣搭配或句意而定。比較以下幾組句子中的不同介詞搭配：1)JamesRussellisamanforwhomIhavethegreatestrespect.JamesRussellisamanuponwhomyoucandepend.LanguagePointsoftheText4.Andtimewasthemeansbywhichwenurturedthosefriendships.(Para.1)
