人应该经常维修友谊。       ---英国作家 约翰逊
A man should keep his friendship in constant repair.
                                                                              ---Samuel johnaon, British writer

你知道什么是“友谊”?它摸不到,却看得见,随时随地藏在彼此之间,让人感到一种满足的温馨和安全感。
Do you know what is friendship? friendship is the thing which you can not touch but can see. It is hidden among us and made us feel comfortable and secured.

在你最无助的时候,默默帮助你的人,是谁?在你感到失落、绝望的时候,在一旁鼓励、安慰你的人,是谁?在你心中有颗大石头放不下来,唯一有耐心慢慢倾听你诉说心事的人,又是谁呢?想必以上的答案皆是“朋友”。
When you feel helpless, who is the one to help you? When you feel disappointed and hopeless, who is the one to encourage you and comfort you? When you have worries, who is the one to listen to you carefully with great patience? I guess all the answers are “friends”.

人失去了朋友,就像失去了生命中那盏帮你照亮前途的明灯,那时,再坚强的人也会感到孤单和寂寞,因为你失去了一种像火一般温暖的“友谊”。
When people lose friends, they will feel like they lost the light in the life. At that time, no matter how strong you are, you will feel lonely, because friendship is as warm as fire.

在“友谊”这段漫长路程上,一路崎岖不平,也深藏着许多需要学习的知识,那是金钱所买不到的,你必须不断地容忍、接受别人的缺点,用心体会朋友们的感受,而且不能半途而废,只有这样,你才能得到最坚定的“友谊”。
On the journey of keeping your friendship with someone, it is bumpy but full of knowledge. You cannot purchase friends with money. You have to bear and tolerate other people’s shortcomings and sympathize with them and not to give up your friendship halfway. Only in this way, your friendship is the most stable and enduring one.

想得到“友谊”,就要先学会“分享”,愿意与别人分享你的喜怒哀乐,接受大家不一样的意见,彼此帮助、相互关怀,不为了小事而和朋友吵得天翻地覆,因自私自利而伤了和气那就更不值得了!“不计较”、“不贪心”,你必定能得到一份最珍贵、最坚定的“友谊”!
If you want to have friendship, you need to learn how to share first. You should be willing to share you happiness and sorrow with other people and accept their advice. You should help each other and care about each other. You should avoid a fight with your friends over a trivial thing. It is unworthy to harm the friendship out of selfishness. If you are tolerant and generous, you will be able to find the most precious and firmest friendship.

请记住,患难见真交。
Please remember that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
