年近三十遭遇社交危机我还有机会认识新朋友吗？

本周早些时候，我读了作家阿莱克斯-威廉斯在《纽约时报》发表的一篇文章，在文章里他探讨了30岁以后交朋友的难处。威廉斯认为，很多人实际上都缺少亲密的朋友。“无论你有多少朋友，一种宿命感会潜入到你心底：遇到最好朋友的时机过了，在青少年时或20岁左右交朋友的方式也已经结束了。现在是时候重新调整自己，结交情境式朋友：我们称其为 KOF（准朋友）。”

The article made me think. I will be 30 this November, and while I have a stable of friends accrued over a lifetime, I began to worry about the looming deadline, this most depressing of cut-off dates. Are my true friend-making days numbered? Have I collected all the real friends I am likely ever to have? Most important, have I accumulated the right kinds of friends? Who among my friends is the Rachel to my Monica?

这篇文章引发了我的思绪。今年的11月份，我就30了，按照文章中的理论，我一辈子的所有朋友也就是我现在的这些朋友了，我开始担心这不断逼近的生日，它太让人沮丧了。我结交朋友的天数屈指可数了吗？我已经拥有了可能有的所有真正的朋友了吗？更重要的是，我的这些朋友交的恰当吗？我的朋友中，谁和我的关系是像瑞秋和莫妮卡那样？

My oldest and best friend is my sister, born three years before me. The key factor in our becoming friends was clearly proximity, but our friendship is one that endures outside our sisterly bond, and in spite of our many differences. My school years were easy; I was a confident child, and managed to form a series of intense friendships that hallmark youth. At boarding school, I got so close to another girl that we shared the same bed for several months – a fact that was more or less forgotten by the time we returned in the new term and both moved on to greener friendship pastures.
