Friendship on the rock: please advise!
Monday 12/10 9:13 p.m.
My best friend and I have been close for eight years. When I was an awkward primary school student, she was the popular girl who was willing to make friends with me. Since then, a close friendship has grown between us and she’s been almost like a sister to me. Whether we’re walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, we’re hardly out of each other’s sight. But last Saturday, she broke my heart, and I’m still picking up the pieces.
八年来,我和我最要好的朋友一直特别亲密。那时,我是个笨手笨脚的小学生,而她这个备受欢迎的女孩愿意和我做朋友。从那时起,我们就成了密友,对我,她一直就跟姐姐差不多。不论是去上学、做作业,还是周末出去玩儿,我们俩几乎都形影不离。可是上周六,她让我伤心了,我到现在还在收拾心情。
Our original plan was to see a film at the cinema that afternoon. But in the morning, my friend posted a message on social media saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to make it to the cinema. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Get some rest. We can wait till you get better.”
我们原先计划那天下午去电影院看电影。但早晨我朋友在社交媒体上发了一条信息,说她感冒了。我打电话过去,她说她也许不能去看电影了。“没事,”我说,“休息一下吧。等你好了我们再去。”
Today, however, I received a horrible surprise. A classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting with another girl in a café on Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend’s “illness” was a complete lie! Instead of recovering at home, she was out having fun with someone else.
可是今天,我惊呆了。一位同学告诉我,她周六下午在咖啡厅看见我朋友在和另一个女孩聊天。我傻透了!她所谓的“生病”是彻头彻尾的谎话。她并没有在家养病,而是跑到外面和别人乐呵去了。
I was so angry that I avoided her during school all day, and I still don’t feel like responding to any of her online messages. The stress of this situation is killing me, and I’m at a loss what to do next.
我气坏了,一整天我在学校都躲着她,到现在也不想回复她网上发过来的任何消息。这种情况带来的压力让我难受死了,我不知道接下来该怎么办。

I’m so sorry! But this friendship is worth saving: eight years is a long time! Don’t be so quick to judge your friend. Perhaps she knows she’s in the wrong
