159 Greater expense does not always equal better gift. I would much rather receive a gift that was unique or that I knew my friend had put some thought into rather than something that cost a lot of money but that I didn’t need or want. I would much rather receive something that made me laugh, made me reminisce, or fit my personality than something that cost a lot but that I will just throw in my closet and forget about.
精品译文 价格更昂贵的礼物并不意味着它就是更好的礼物，我倒希望收到的礼物很别致，或是我知道是朋友精心为我准备的，而不是那种花费很多却不是我所想、所需的。我希望的是能够让我开心，让我回味过去时光，或是适合我口味的礼物，而不是价格不菲，看完之后随手就扔到储藏室、抛在脑后的礼物。
160 When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who , instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
精品译文 当我们坦率地问自己，哪种人在我们的生活中对我们最具有意义时，我们常常会发现不是那些给我们很多劝告、答案或对策的人，而是那些选择分担我们的痛苦，用温柔而亲切的手抚慰我们的创伤的人。朋友是那些在我们绝望或迷惘时与我们一起保持沉默，在我们悲伤和失去亲人时陪在我们身边，能宽恕我们的幼稚无知、苦无良策、心痛难复和与我们一起正视我们那些无能为力的现实的人。那样的人才是真正关心我们的朋友。
