THE FRIEND WHO IS UP FOR ANYTHING

“時刻準備著”的朋友

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.”

我們都知道人們很忙。世界上最令人沮喪的事情莫非是你得一直一直一直一直調整自己的進度表。大家都需要一通電話就隨時能現身的朋友，一個說“恩，我馬上過來”的朋友。這就是有一個你無須提前28天預約只為喝杯咖啡的好朋友的好處了。這能讓人放松（跟這類朋友不是只能喝咖啡）。“他們很隨和，不做作，讓你的生活過得輕松。任何事情都難不倒他們，他們樂于挑戰新事物，一接到通知，他們就會改變原有計劃。”格林博士說到。貝托魯奇也同意這種說法：“他們的熱情會感染你，在他們身邊，你總是覺著有樂趣。”
