This conclusion of mine comes from the fact that before a bride is to marry the love of her life, she must endure public humiliation by being "blackened".

我得出这个结论是基于以下事实，在新娘跟她生命中的爱人结婚之前，她必须忍受在大庭广众之下被弄黑的羞辱。

Here is a friend of mine, who must be thy friend also.

这儿有我的一个朋友，他也该是你的朋友。

The other day—as I was making my excuses about the podcast and invoking the fact that I, like everyone else, must eventually turn to dust—a friend of mine lay dying.

在前些天解释自己为何疏于更新播客的文章里，我提到了一位朋友的离世，于是想到自己和其他人一样终究难免一死。
