段落翻译： It’s so easy to take good friends for granted. Like a comfortable pair of gloves, old friends wear well. But friendships that suffer from busyness and over — familiarity can’t afford to be neglected too long. They need renewal. If you want and need to keep true friendship alive and well, please, consider and think over a list of the most important qualities. Probably it will help you to understand why you and your best friend haven’t called up for ages, why you’re getting embarrassed while being asked “Whom are you going to have fun with this weekend?” You may neglect your intimate friends from time to time, but if you fail to cultivate these qualities — loyalty, forgiveness, honesty, and dedication — you can’t expect to keep true friends.
