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.

有了友谊，生活幸福和谐，没有友谊，生活变得悲伤不幸。我们有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友，有的有钱有权，有的较穷无钱。有的和我一样当教书先生，读读写写满足简朴的生活。我们都相互关心相互爱护，互相帮助。我们觉得我们朋友们在一起聊天交流思想时感到最高兴。对我们的朋友们，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。

I will never forget my old friends, and I'll keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent[adj.冷漠的,不关心的] to my poor friends, and I will show concern[n.忧虑,焦虑] for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

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