Fuji这一章很短,主要讲Trevor跟狗狗的相处,而“朝三暮四”的狗狗让他明白了一个道理:
That experience shaped what I’ve felt about relationships for the rest of my life: You don not own the thing that you love
Robert这一章讲的是他跟阔别多年的爸爸重逢后的相处。费尽周折得到他爸的联系方式后,登门拜访时他爸爸拿出剪贴簿,上面全是关于儿子的新闻,看到这里就泪奔了
Being chosen is the greatest gift you can give to another human being
后面还顺带吐槽了一下瑞士人。。。
(之前看他的一个脱口秀,中间也黑了他爸。说他爸也很喜欢他妈,因为瑞士人非常喜欢吃巧克力。。。)
