How to comfort a sad friend
如何安慰伤心的朋友

Today's lesson was all about the language we use to comfort our sad friends. But comforting someone is more than just saying the right words to them. Let's talk about a few more things we need to remember when our friends need us. 
//今天的课主要是关于如何安慰伤心的朋友的。但是安慰人不仅仅是说几句暖心的话。我们再来谈一谈朋友需要我们的其他要做的事情。
First, there is an old saying that "actions speak louder than words." Many people might need a hug, an arm around their shoulder, or a pat on the hand to make them feel better. 
//第一，有句俗话说得好，“行动比语言更有效.”很多人可能需要一个拥抱，需要你搂过他们的肩膀，或轻拍他们的手，都能让他们好过一些。
Next, bring them dinner, or offer to do some of their housework or errands for them. 
//接下来，给他们带些晚饭，帮他们做些家务，或者办点杂事。
Finally, remember that not everyone will want to be comforted. If your friend asks you to leave them alone because they want private time, then that is what you should do.
//最后要记住，不是每个人都希望得到安慰。如果你的朋友说要一个人静一静，因为他们需要私人时间，那你就应该让他们一个人呆着。
