在生活中，尤其是在这样一个高科技的社会里，人们很难有时间慢下脚步来打电话给一位朋友诉衷肠，阅读一本小说，或者好好做个按摩。

So many times in life, especially in this high-tech society, it's hard to slow down and call a friend, or read a novel, or get a massage.

我记得当时给一位在美国的朋友打电话，称我们有了新发现。

I remember telephoning a friend in the US to say that I thought we had a new discovery.

给“外面”的一位朋友打电话的时候，他以豪斯的风格反问说，“是的，你还有多少朋友在精神病院里？”

On a phone call to someone in the "outside world," he retorts in true House form: "Yes, how many other friends do you have in the asylum?"
