I told him the same.

The truth is, we have a few mutual friends, if we had really wanted to contact each other, we could have.
事实是,我们有一些共同的朋友,如果我们真的想联系对方,我们可以马上联系得到。
But with busy schedules, and family life–and all sorts of things going on –well, I guess we just lost touch.
但是繁忙的日程安排和家庭生活——及各种各样的事情——嗯,我想我们就失去联系了。
So, I got to thinking about the people I am in touch with now and those I’d like to contact.
所以,我开始思考我现在联系到的人及我想联系的人。

Plus, I have people that I am in contact with now,
