　[美文欣赏]

　　The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner, a playmate, an intimate colleague, etc.

　　Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In modern society, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in his ability to give.

　　As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to how do deal with various situations. True friends share not only our joys but also our sorrows.

　　With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is sad and unfortunate. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing, content with a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.

　　I will never forget my old friends, and I'll keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to my poor friends, and I will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

　　[参考译文]

　　“朋友”这个词的意义很广。朋友可以是点头之交、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、亲密的同事等。

　　人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们给人以帮助，也需要别人的帮助。在现代社会，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有非凡魅力的人有许多朋友，他的力量在于他的奉献能力。

　　生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险滩。朋友主动给我们以忠告，告诉我们如何应付各种不同的局势。真正的朋友与我们同甘共苦。

　　有了友谊，生活幸福、和谐；没有友谊，生活变得悲伤、不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友；有的有钱有权，有的较穷且无权无势。有的和我一样教书，读读写写，满足于简朴的生活。我们都互相关心，互相爱护，互相帮助。我们觉得朋友们在一起闲谈交流思想时感到最开心。对我的朋友们，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。

我决不会忘记老朋友，同时继续结交新朋友。我对穷朋友绝不冷漠，而是关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。

优美诗歌欣赏：友谊如微风

　　Friendship Is Like the Breeze

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　by Terri Fanning

　　　　　　　　　　　　　Friendship is like the breeze,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　You can't hold it,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　Smell it,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　Taste it,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　Or know when it's coming,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　But you can always feel it,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　And you'll always know it's there,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　It may come and then go,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　But you can know it'll always be back.

　　　　　　　　　　　　友谊如微风

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 特里-范宁

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　友谊如和煦的微风，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　你握不住它，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　闻不到它，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　尝不到它，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　无法知道它何时光临，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　不过你总能感觉到它，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　而且总能意识到它的存在，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　它可能会来了而又走开，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　但你知道它总会回来。

Friends(朋友)

　　There's always going to be people that hurt you,so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

　　别人常常伤害你，所以你该继续付出信任，并小心挑选你下次信任的人。

　　Make youself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

　　在你想了解别人也想让别人了解你之前，先完善并了解自己。

　　Remember:Whatever happens,happens for a reason.

　　要记住：任何事情的发生都有因有起。
