Passage One
段落一
I first met Joe Ganz when we were both nine years old, which is probably the only reason he's one of my best friends.
我第一次見到喬·甘茲時，我們都是九歲。這可能是唯一我們成為朋友的原因。
If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school we wouldn't even have had the chance to get to know each other.
如果我第一次見到喬是在高一，我們絕不會有機會了解彼此。
Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student.
喬是一個走讀學生，而我是一個寄宿生。
We haven't been in same classes, sports or extracurricular activities. Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house and we talk on the phone every night.
體育和課外活動時，我們不在同一班。盡管如此，我幾乎每個周末都去他家，我們每晚都在電話里聊天。
This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests.
這并不是說如果我們在一年級時第一次見到就不會成為朋友。相反，由于缺乏明顯的共同興趣，我們不會像現在一樣花很多時間互相了解。
In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common. But maybe that's what makes us enjoy each other's company so much.
說實話，我現在仍努力去想我們的共同點。這也許就是我們喜歡與對方為伴的原因。
When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I've known whom I never disliked, but simply didn't take the time to get to know.
當我審視我和喬的友誼時，我會想我認識那么多人，雖然我沒有不喜歡他們，但我也沒有花時間了解他們。
Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is for the social divisions that exist in every community.
由于喬，我發現在任何社會群體中，社會分工的出現使人與人的交流基礎變得很薄弱。
Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.
由于這點，我決定努力在一些不期而遇的地點結識更多的朋友。
