1 I received an email from a reader who asked, “Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them to last?” She referred to提到 having seen the question in one of my articles,

Mystery神秘的事物,迷 of Friendship. As I wrote in it, I don’t think easy

answers exist as to how friendships start, why some turn into lifetime ones, and why some end. Although I’ve tried answering the first two questions in other articles (To Have A Friend and Be

A Friend), I still get surprised by friendships that endure and

disillusioned使幻想破灭 by ones that slip away.消逝 Even so, I’ll try to offer some insights洞察,深刻的见解 here as to why friendships end.

我收到一个读者的电子邮件,他在邮件中问到,为什么有些友谊不管你多么想维系它却还是会终结,该读者说她曾在我发表的一篇文章《友谊之谜》中简单过这个问题。正如我在文章中所说,对于友谊是如何开始的、为什么有些友谊会终结这类问题,我认为没有简单的答案,虽然我在别的文章中《拥有一个朋友》和《做一个朋友》常识回答过前两个问题,但是,我任然对那些经久不衰的友谊感到惊讶,也对那些逝去的友谊感到失望。即便如此,我还是要在文本中对为什么友谊会终结提出一些我的见解 2 My simple answer is that friendships end because the

situations friends are in or even the friends themselves change.我的回答很简单,友谊终结是因为朋友处境的改变,或甚至是因朋友自身的变化

Others have similar answers. 其他人可能也有相似的说法First, the situations friends face may change. 首先,朋友面临的境遇有可能改变The decision to relocate for a new school or job cannot help but不得不 affect影响 a friendship.因进一个新的学校或有一份新的工作二决定搬家,这就不能不影响到友谊 Likewise同样的, if a friend is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses someone close, these situations cannot help but affect a friendship. 同样,如果朋友出了事故,患了疾病或失去亲人,这些情况也不能不影响友谊Does a

friendship need to end because of these changes?基于这些原因幼体就要终结吗 No, but it’ll require adjustments that one or both friends might not be willing to make.不,但这就需要作出相应的调整 ,然而一方或双方却不可能不愿作出这样的调整

3 Second, the friends themselves may change. 其次,朋友自身可能在变A significant reason that friendships often end when friends are apart分开 for

an extended长期的 period of time (for summer camp, college, etc.) is that one or both of the friends change.朋友长时间不在一起(如参加夏令营、上大学等)友谊常常会终止的一个重要原因是一方或双方的改变 I think it hurts less when both friends change, because then the breakup is more

often mutual彼此的,相互的 and so both friends get closure by both deciding to let go and move forward in their lives without each other. 我认为当朋友双方都在改变时,其伤害较轻,因为这时的分手往往是相互的,上方都决定不在交往,从此各奔东西,让友谊终结

What tends有什么倾向 to hurt most is when just one friend changes.当这有一方改变时,造成的伤害最重 One friend might change social circles, become involved使参与 in new social organizations, start to date, get a pet, or take on决定做 some other venture项目或事业 that consumes消耗 more time and passion.一方也许换了交际的圈子、加入了新的社会组织、开始谈恋爱、养了一只宠物或者从事某个更费时间、更需激情的有风险的事业 Again, a friendship can endure these changes, unless one or both of the friends for some reason decide not to invest the time and energy involved in the adjustment period. 当然,友谊是经得起这些变化的,除非一方或双方由于某种原因决定不再友谊调整期内

投入必要的时间和精力(For example, one friend might forget the importance of the friendship due to the high of having a new pet or might feel that the change is impossible to overcome when one gets married but the other is still single.) 例如,一方由于养了新宠物而极度兴奋,因而可能忘了友谊的重要性,又或者一方结婚而另一方单身时,朋友也许感到这一改变无法克服时In this situation, breakups may not be mutual and so one or both friends feel betrayed背叛 and end up with以什么告终 bitter memories about what was a precious friendship to them. 在这种情况下,友谊终止可能不是相互的,所以,一方或双方感到背叛,最后只留下对一段珍贵友谊的苦涩回忆

4 There are other reasons why friendships end. 友谊终结还有其他原因For example, as much as尽管 two people might want a friendship to survive继续(生存), one or both of them might unintentionally无意的 neglect忽视 it.例如,尽管双方也许想维持这段友谊,但是一方或双方可能无意间疏忽了他 Friendship

is often compared to a flower garden. 友谊常比作花园Well, if flowers don’t get exposed使暴露于 regularly enough to sunlight and don’t get watered enough, flowers will wither and even die. 如果花儿不嫩时常晒到阳光和得到足够的浇灌,花儿会枯萎,甚至死亡The same applies to适用于 friendship.这也适用于友谊 If week after week passes where plans are made to spend time together but are never honored, perhaps due to taking a friendship for granted, eventually even the closest of

friendships may cease稚嫩的 to have a reason to exist1 . 他们让时间一周一周的流逝,从不兑现相聚的计划,最终,即便是最亲密的友谊也可能失去存在的理由

5 Conflicts can also cause the end of friendships.矛盾的冲突也会导致友谊的终结 If the flower is a fledgling无经验的 plant, one blow might destroy it just as sometimes relatively young friendships aren’t strong enough to endure much conflict.如果花儿还很稚嫩,一阵风就可能将其摧毁 同样,相对稚嫩的友谊有事无法承受大的冲突Even those amazing close friendships, where friends love us no matter what our faults缺点,毛病 are, need care when it comes to当提到 conflicts.当涉及矛盾冲突是,即便令人羡慕的友谊,即那种不管有什么过错朋友也照样关心我们的那种友谊,也需要得到爱护 Sure, if a flourishing长得茂盛 flower gets stepped on, it might revive on its own独自的.当然,如果盛开的花儿被人踩了一下,他可能会自我复苏 Moreover, if it gets a little extra special care, it’ll probably bounce back as if it hadn’t ever been

injured伤害 .而且,如果他得到一点额外的特别的呵护,他会迅速恢复,就还想从未受过伤害 At the same time, if a flower gets repeatedly反复地 trampled践踏 on, it’ll probably eventually break. 同样,如果花儿被反复的踩踏,他可能会死亡Especially the friendships that have been around3 for a long time can endure storms, and even become stronger for them, but most friendships have breaking points. 只有那些长存的友谊才能经得起大风大浪,甚至因此变得更加牢不可破,但大多数友谊会成为断点

6 Nevertheless然而, while we can rarely predict at the outset起初,开始 which ones will last, most friendships do enrich us for however short or long they’re a part of our lives. 然而,虽然我们很少能从一开始就预见到那些友谊会持久,但多数友谊确实丰富了我们的人生,因为无论友谊是长是短,他们都是我们生活的一部分。
