親愛(ài)的安妮：

I'm a 15-year-old girl, and my friend Kendall hasstolen a ring from me. I've known Kendall for acouple of years, and recently we've become bestfriends. I invited her over to my house and showedher the ring, and she really liked it. The moment sheleft, I noticed the ring was missing.

我是一個(gè)15歲的女孩。我的朋友肯德?tīng)柾底吡宋业慕渲浮Ｎ艺J(rèn)識(shí)肯德?tīng)杻赡炅?，最近，我們成了最好的朋友。我邀她到我家玩，把我的戒指給她看。她真地很喜歡它。她離開(kāi)的那一刻，我發(fā)現(xiàn)戒指失蹤了。

I didn't want to accuse Kendall of stealing, so I asked if she had "borrowed" my ring. Shedenied it, but would not look me in the eyes. She is known for getting in trouble, and though Ithink she is a wonderful friend, I am convinced she took the ring.

我不想指責(zé)肯德?tīng)柛`取戒指，所以我問(wèn)她是否“借”了我的戒指。她否認(rèn)了，但她不敢看我的眼睛。她惹下麻煩了。雖然我覺(jué)得她是一位難得的摯友，但我深信是她把戒指偷走了。

What is the best way to persuade her to come clean so we can get this behind us? I reallyenjoy her friendship, and it saddens me to have this come between us. - Troubled in California

有沒(méi)有什么好辦法可以說(shuō)服她向我坦白，使我們繼續(xù)和睦相處?我真地很珍視我和她的友誼，但這件事令我非常難過(guò)。——苦惱的加利福尼亞人

Dear Troubled:

Do you want the friendship or the ring? It's unlikely Kendall will simply return the ring becausethat means admitting she took it, and as you can see, she didn't take the opportunity to do sowhen you tried to make it easy for her. If you want to keep the friendship, tell Kendall to let youknow if she ever finds the ring-and then forget about it. We also suggest you stop invitingKendall to peruse your jewelry.

你想要的是友誼還是戒指?看來(lái)肯德?tīng)柌淮罂赡芎?jiǎn)單地將戒指交回，因?yàn)檫@意味著她承認(rèn)她偷了戒指。而且，你也看到了，當(dāng)你給她一個(gè)臺(tái)階下時(shí)，她并沒(méi)有抓住這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)。如果你想保持你們的友誼，告訴肯德?tīng)?，她是否找到了戒指，然后把這事忘掉。我們還建議你以后不要再邀請(qǐng)肯德?tīng)栃蕾p你的首飾了。
