[J-143] A Master Strategist 策略大师
The new people next door were scarcely moved in when I found some of their mail pushed through my letter slot. I took it over to them and, in the process, made their acquaintance.
A day or so later I saw another neighbor carrying mail to their house. The following morning I chided the postman for his carelessness. “Did you get to know the people?” he asked, his eyes twinkling.
“Yes,” I replied. “They're a nice couple.”
“Best way I know for people to get acquainted,” he said.
[译注] 隔壁的新人一搬进来，我就发现他们的一些信件被塞进我的信箱狭缝。我把信件拿去给他们而在过程中跟他们认识了。
约一天后，我看到另一个邻居带着信件到他们家。隔天早晨我就责备那邮差太过粗心。「你们变成认识那些人了吗？」他问，眼睛还闪着光。 「是的，」我回答。「他们是很好的一对夫妻。」 「这是我知道的让人们相互认识的最好方法，」他说。 注： next door (隔壁)， scarcely... when... (一… 就…)， letter slot (在信箱 letter box 上方的狭长缝口)， make acquaintance = get acquainted (结识，熟悉)， chide (责骂)。
