或者,我以前经常去吃早餐的那家杂货店,柜台后的某个人会注意到我不再去那儿了。

偶尔,你可能会接触到这些熟悉的陌生人。

比如,几个月前,我站在咖啡馆门口,一位女士跟我打招呼,“你知道我是谁吗?”

她问。

我认识她,她是我在诊所里见过很多次的一个病人。

我们轻松亲密地交谈——尽管一直没有交换彼此的姓名。

但是,我也记得自己经历过这样一件事,让我体会到熟悉的陌生人的重要性。

有一次,度过一个长假后,我从机场开车回家,总感觉辨不清方向,不知道自己在哪儿。

突然,我看到了他——一个穿花呢夹克、戴绿色军帽的老绅士,我曾无数次见过他在我家附近散步。

噢,我想,见到这个熟悉的陌生人,我终于到家了。
