Friendship researcher William Rawlins divides friendships into three categories: active, dormant, and commemorative.

友谊研究员威廉·罗林斯将友谊分为三类：活跃的、休眠的和纪念性的。

Rawlins, however, was in poor health. His condition grew worse during the summer of eighteen sixty-nine. Early in autumn, he died.

然而，罗林斯的健康状况不佳。他的病情在1869年夏天恶化。初秋，他去世了。

Rawlins' death hurt President Grant deeply. But the lack of honest, wise advice in the White House would hurt the country even more.

罗林斯的死深深地伤害到格兰特总统。但白宫中缺乏诚实、明智的建议，将对国家造成更大的伤害。

In a series of interviews Rawlins did with middle-aged Americans, he found that many still considered themselves to be friends with people they hadn't been in touch with in a long time.

在罗林斯对中年美国人进行的一系列采访中，他发现许多人仍然认为自己是他们很久没有联系过的人的朋友。

The best adviser Grant named was John Rawlins as Secretary of War. Rawlins was a good judge of men. And he was wiser than most of Grant's other friends.

格兰特任命的最佳顾问是约翰·罗林斯，他担任作战部长。罗林斯对人很有鉴赏力。他比格兰特的大多数其他朋友都聪明。
