Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, "If there's anything I can do…" Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house sitting during the funeral.

现在，每当我听到朋友失去亲人，我不再打电话礼貌地提出“如果有什么我能做的……”相反，我试图想出一个特定的适合那人需要的任务，如带狗去寄宿养犬处，或在葬礼时看房子。

Then he said aloud, "Here in the boarding-house, if one would have friends and be popular instead of having the cold shoulder turned upon him, he must be prosperous."

接着他大声说，“在这个寄宿宿舍里，谁要想广交朋友，受人欢迎而不遭白眼，那就非得有钱有地位不可。”
