10、more than never talking to or seeing each other. While some bonds of friendship may be strong enough to span long silences, most aren't. If you cherish a person's friendship, make time for him or her, whether it's just the occasional phone call, e-mail or a weekly get-together. 为挚友腾出时间。不

11、沟通，也不见面会让挚友日渐疏远。尽管有的友情足够坚固，经得起长时间冷却，但大多数是不行的。假如你珍惜一人友情，就为他或她留出时间。不管是间或打个电话，或是发一封邮件，又或是周末聚会。 1)On your computer at home or work, make a note to "call friends" regularly. 在你公司或家里的电脑上贴个便条“给挚友打电话”。 2)Keep a Post-it note on the phone, the bathroom mirror, the car dashboard, anywhere you're

14、a situation's changed doesn't mean the person has. 记住：真正是挚友是在发生变故时仍留在你身边。没有什么比这更难受了，刚当爸妈却发觉他们的单身挚友因为他们有了小孩就放弃了他们。好挚友是能够经验一切的：结婚，生儿育女，新工作，新家庭，任何损失。因为状况变更了并不意味人变更了。 3.Make sure you aren't being a burden to a friend. Friendships fade away if there isn't an equilibrium between the give a

To be a better listener, follow this advice: 做一个好的倾听者。这或许是世界上最难的事情只是听他或她的倾诉或是向你寻求建议

19、ful with advice. Assume your friend wants to let off steam, not necessarily ask for a plan of action. 供应建议需谨慎。假使你的挚友只是想发泄不满，不肯定是寻求行动的安排。 5.Be in your friend's corner if he or she's not there to defend him or herself. If you're at a gathering at which someone mentions your friend disparag

20、ingly, defend him or her against gossip or criticism. Say, "Mary is my friend, and it makes me feel bad to hear you talk this way." Sooner or later, news of your loyalty will travel back to your pal, and it will deepen your friendship. 当挚友不在场时要站出来为他们辩护。当你站在一群人中正在说你挚友的坏话，你要站出来为他辩护，说，“玛丽是我的挚
