THE FRIEND WHO IS UP FOR ANYTHING

“时刻准备着”的朋友

可可电台

People are busy, we get it. But there's nothing more frustrating than having to reschedule your re-re-re-scheduled catch-up. Everyone needs a friend who you can call at the drop of a hat. A friend who says “hell yeah, I'm up for that”. That's why it's good to have a mate who you don't need to issue a 28-day notice to just to meet for a frappuccino. It's refreshing (the friend, that is, not necessarily the frappuccino.) “This friend is the flexible, no frills friend who makes your life a breeze. Nothing is ever too hard and they're open to doing new things and changing plans at short notice,” says Dr. Green. While Bertolucci agrees, “Their enthusiasm is contagious and you always have more fun when they are around.”

我们都知道人们很忙。世界上最令人沮丧的事情莫非是你得一直一直一直一直调整自己的进度表。大家都需要一通电话就随时能现身的朋友,一个说“恩,我马上过来”的朋友。这就是有一个你无须提前28天预约只为喝杯咖啡的好朋友的好处了。这能让人放松(跟这类朋友不是只能喝咖啡)。“他们很随和,不做作,让你的生活过得轻松。任何事情都难不倒他们,他们乐于挑战新事物,一接到通知,他们就会改变原有计划。”格林博士说到。贝托鲁奇也同意这种说法:“他们的热情会感染你,在他们身边,你总是觉着有乐趣。”
