11. You can call your friends anytime you need them
任何时候，只要你需要就可以给朋友打电话
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.”
关于“任何时候”有一些要注意的问题。这并不是说早晨三点钟你就可以打电话，除非有人去世！然而，在合理的情况下，在你知道他们会醒着的时候，你可以打电话给他们，说，“嗯……有空吗？我需要人听我倾诉。”如果他们说，“现在不行，但是让我给你打回去吧，”那么就等电话吧。如果他们愿意抽出时间来帮助你，那最好是按照他们的时间表来做，尤其是对那些有份“真正工作”的人而言。
