我最亲密的柏拉图式友谊并不需要两人离得很近、也不需要每日交流来保持亲近的关系。我和最亲密的朋友间这种无条件的分享和互诉衷肠有别于我和男友的关系。
In the past three months, I faced two emergency surgeries. Both ejected me from the city and placed me on bed rest, immobile and isolated, for weeks.
过去的三个月里,我面临了两次紧急手术,每次都连续几个礼拜让我远离城市、卧床休息,动弹不得还与世隔绝。
Convinced I needed a “person,” I became irrational. I lost sight of my people. Yet they had not lost sight of me. Friendship, I learned, is an investment and a privilege but friendship can’t be quantified.
我确信我需要个“人”,我变得不可理喻,忽视了我的朋友们。然而, 他们并没有忽视我。我慢慢懂得,友谊是经营、是特权,但不能量化。
Like all relationships, friendships are about mutual exchange: Sharing parts of yourself, be it humor, memories, adventures, love or support, and receiving parts of others.
和所有关系一样,友谊也是一种利益交换:分享你自己,无论幽默还是回忆、冒险历程还是爱与支持,然后对方会向你分享他自己。
What shined through after my surgery wasn’t just love but the power of many individual bonds.
手术后,那些让我觉得美好的东西不仅仅是爱,还有羁绊的力量。
