Steps
步骤
STEP 1 Join a group
1.加入团体
Join a group that interests you. You could work on a political campaign, sign up for a class, do volunteer work, or become a member of a club like a hiking group.
加入一个你感兴趣的团体 。你可以致力于政治活动,报名参加兴趣班,做志愿者工作,或者成为某个俱乐部会员,比如远足 。
STEP 2 Make the first move
2.迈出第一步
Don’t be afraid to make the first move. Keep it simple, like inviting the person to grab a cup of coffee with you.
不要害怕迈出第一步 。简单一点,邀请他们和你一起去喝杯咖啡 。
In the beginning, don’t call or email your new acquaintance more than he or she does you. You want to be a pal, not a pain.
最初,打电话或发邮件给新结识的朋友的次数不要超过对方联系你的次数 。你想要和他们成为伙伴,而不是成为讨厌的人 。
STEP 3 Be interested
3.感兴趣
Focus on being interested, rather than being interesting. Research shows that when people are allowed to talk mostly about themselves, they give high ratings to their conversation partner!
集中注意力对某件事感兴趣,而不是自己变得有趣 。调查显示,当人们被允许总是谈论自己时,他们会对谈话对象评价更高 。
STEP 4 Do a favor
4.帮忙
Listen with an ear toward what you can do for the person you’d like to befriend. Doing someone a favor—without being asked—will fast-track the friendship.
留意你可以为想要结交的人做点什么 。主动为别人帮点忙,这样会使友情迅速升华 。
Don’t be afraid to reach out to old friends who have faded from your life. Sometimes a renewed friendship is the most rewarding of all.
不要害怕联系淡出你的生活的老朋友 。有时重新恢复的友情是最值得珍惜的 。
STEP 5 Throw a party
5.举办聚会
Throw a party that includes all your friends, old and new, and encourage them to bring friends. As a wise man once said: make new friends, but keep the old—one is silver and the other’s gold.
举办一个聚会,邀请所有朋友参加,无论是老朋友还是新朋友,鼓励他们带朋友前来 。一位智者曾经说过:结识新朋友,不忘老朋友——新朋友是银,老朋友是金 。
According to a British study, the average person will make and lose 363 friends in a lifetime and end up with 33—six of whom could be described as 'best friends.'
根据英国一项调查,一个人一生中平均会结交和失去363个朋友,最终只剩下33个朋友——其中6个可以称得上“最好的朋友” 。
