The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good 36 in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I 37 to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be 38 ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 39 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to 40 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But, 41 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 42 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 43 to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main 44 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he 45 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming 46 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 47 like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He 48 that maybe there were more private courts in the country than he 49 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 50 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 51 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 52 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 53 the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 54 and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my 55 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.

I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most 36 thing we ever give to each other is our attention (注意力). Especially if it’s 37 from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do 38 but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times 39 about it is even more important than understanding it.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often 40 to tell her that they once had something just 41 that happened to her. Her pain became a story about 42 . So, finally she stopped 43 to most people because she just felt too lonely. When we interrupt what someone is 44 to let them know that we understand, we 45 the focus of attention to ourselves. But if we just 46 , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (宽慰) of having someone just listen.
I have 47 learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. I 48 that passing a person a tissue (面巾纸) may be just another 49 to shut them down and take them out of their experience of 50 . Now I just listen. When they have 51 all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This 52 thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very 53 . I thought people listened only 54 they were too shy to speak or did not know the 55 . A loving silence often has far more power to heal than words.
