(background cheering) 而會強調這是我們的優點 It's quietly galling 一種沈寂的耗損 how easily we can lose sight of 使我們很容易看不見 all our own good points, 我們自身所有的美好 when troubles strike. 當困難來襲時 A friend doesn't fall into this trap. 但朋友不會落入這樣的圈套 They can acknowledge the difficulties 他們可以察覺這些困難 while still holding on to a memory 但仍然能夠緊記著 of our virtues. 我們的美德 The good friend is compassionate; 好朋友是充滿慈悲心的 when we fail, as we will 當我們失敗 我們會失敗的 they are understanding 他們能夠理解 and generous around our mishaps. 從容陪伴我們的狼狽 Our folly, doesn't exclude them from the circle of their love. 我們的荒唐 不會讓我們被排除在他們愛的圈圈之外 The good friend definitely conveys 好朋友絕對能克服 that to err, fail and screw up 不論是犯錯 跌倒或搞砸 is just what we humans do. 也不過就是我們人類會幹的事 We all emerge from childhood 我們都是從童年發展出 with various biases in our character 各種在性格裡面的缺陷 which evolved to help us cope with our 這些性格缺陷的發展讓我們能夠應付 necessarily imperfect parents 我們一定不可能完美的父母親 and these acquired habits of mind 這些都導致了一些內心的慣性 will reliably let us down in adult life. 保證會讓我們的成年生活有麻煩 But, we're not to be blamed because 但是 我們不會苛責這些 we didn't deliberately set out to be like this. 我們不是故意要變成這個樣子 We didn't realistically, have a lot of better options 實際上 我們可能也沒有太多更好的選擇 We're indelibly required 我們不可抹滅地被迫 to make big decisions 做出重大的決定 before we ever really understand what's at stake 遠在我們能真正了解那是什麼之前 or how our choices will play out. 或是我們的選擇將帶來什麼結果 We steering blind in all our large moves around love 我們在愛的大決定上蒙著眼掌舵 and work. 在工作也是 We opt for a move to a different city 我們決定搬到另一個城市 but we can't possibly know whether we're going to flourish there 但我們無法知道會在那裡如何開花結果 We have to select a career path when we're still young 我們必須在還年輕的時候做出職涯抉擇 and we don't know what our latent needs will be 而我們不知道這需要具備什麼樣的才能 in long term relationships 在長期的關係裡 We have to make a commitment to another person 我們必須要向對方許下承諾 before we understand what it will be like 在我們知道它究竟會是如何 to tie our lives, so deeply to theirs' 捆綁住我們以及他人的生活之前 The good friend knows 好朋友會知道 that failures are not in fact, rare 失敗實際上不會是鳳毛麟角 They bring as a starting point 他們會在一開始 their own and humanity's vivid experience of messing up 就把自己以及人類栩栩如生的搞砸經驗 into play 帶入這個遊戲 as key points of reference. 當作是主要的參考點 They're continually telling us 他們會不斷告訴我們 that our specific case, might be unique 我們這個特定的狀況 也許是獨一無二的 but that the general structure, is common. 但在架構上來說 這稀鬆平常 People, don't just sometimes fail 人類 不是偶爾遇到挫折 Everyone fails, 人人都會遭遇挫折 only, we don't know about it 只是我們不知道罷了 It's ironic, yet essentially hopeful 這很諷刺 但是非常有幫助 that we usually know quite well 我們通常都很清楚知道 how to be a better friend 如何更好地當個陌生人的朋友 to near strangers 勝過知道如何當自己的朋友 than we know how to be, to ourselves. 好在我們實際上知道 The hopefulness lies in the fact that we do 實際上已經擁有 actually already possess 友誼所需要的相關技巧 the relevant skills of friendship. 只差在我們或許還沒有將這個技巧導向 It's just, we haven't as yet directed them 那個或許是 to the person, who probably 最需要的人身上 needs the most 尤其是 namely, 當然是 of course 我們自己 ourselves.
