11. You can call your friends anytime you need them
任何時候，只要你需要就可以給朋友打電話
Let’s put some rules on “anytime.” This does not mean three in the morning, unless someone is dead! Within reason, however, and during the hours when you KNOW they’ll be awake, you can call and say, “Hey…you got a few minutes? I need an ear.” If they say, “Not now, but let me call you back,” then respect that. If they’re willing to sacrifice time to help you out, it’s only fair that they should be able to do it on their schedule, especially for those who have “real jobs.”
關于“任何時候”有一些要注意的問題。這并不是說早晨三點鐘你就可以打電話，除非有人去世！然而，在合理的情況下，在你知道他們會醒著的時候，你可以打電話給他們，說，“嗯……有空嗎？我需要人聽我傾訴。”如果他們說，“現在不行，但是讓我給你打回去吧，”那么就等電話吧。如果他們愿意抽出時間來幫助你，那最好是按照他們的時間表來做，尤其是對那些有份“真正工作”的人而言。
