On Friendship
Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life
single handed.We need help from, and also give help to, others.In
the modern age, people attach more importance to relations and
connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in his
ability to give.
The term, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a
nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confident, a partner, a playmate, a
brother,an intimate etc.
As life is full of conflict, we need friends to support and help us out
of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. True friends
share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow.
With friendship, life is happy and harmonious.Without friendship,
life is unfortunate. I have friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and
in power. Some are low and common. Some are like myself, content
with the simple life we have. To many of my friends, I know what to
treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, I will never forget my old
friends and keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent
to the poor friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a
comforting word.

谈友谊
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
帮助也需要别人的帮助。在现代，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有领
袖气质的人有许多朋友，他的权在于他的给予能力。
朋友的意义很广，可以是熟人、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、兄
弟、密友等。
生活充满斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋
友提醒我们警惕险难。真正的朋友不仅与我们同甘，而且共苦。
友谊使生活幸福，和谐，没有友谊的生活充满了不幸。我有地
位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友，有的有钱有权，有的位卑而平凡。
有的和我一样满足于简朴的生活。对我的众多朋友，我知道该珍惜什
么，容忍什么，分享什么。我不会忘记老朋友，同时继续交新朋友。
对穷朋友不冷漠，关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。
