Of Friendship
As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet periods of reflection① can lead to personal improvement.However, when we seek② to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always escape into③ our own world.Social life is also important to us.More often than not④, close friendships will help smooth out⑤ the sometimes rocky road⑥ that we are all meant to⑦ travel.

[1] As we live in social groups, there are many benefits⑧ of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”:they may comfort the heart⑨, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves.Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans.

The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy⑩, sadness, success and failure⑪.Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness takes on⑫ a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from⑬ a close friendship.With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure⑭.We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness⑮.Indeed⑯, the human heart depends on⑰ such opportunities for comfort and protection⑱.

The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement⑲ that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends.[2]We often find it easier to recognize⑳ other people's weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided㉑.On the other

hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make.Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend㉒, we have to put our thoughts into words first.This alone helps [3]make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough㉓ understanding of our problems.

The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways.Sometimes a friend is even known as㉔ our “second self”.There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends.Friends may have many different ideas and skills.They can help us achieve [4]what we want during life and, perhaps, even after death.

[5]Finally, it should be pointed out㉕ that enjoying the company㉖ of a crowd㉗ is not the same as㉘being with friends. [6]Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.

论友谊
当我们走上“人生之路”时,有时候我们可能希望独自思考,因为安静思考期间会带来个人进步。然而,当我们寻求独处时,我们必须小心,不要总逃进我们自己的世界。社交生活对我们也很重要。通常,亲密的友谊将有助于铺平我们注定要走的时而崎岖的道路。

因为我们生活在社会群体中,我们可以享受友谊带来的许多好处。一般来说,亲密的友谊有三个“成果”:它们可以抚慰心灵,启迪思维,帮助我们实现我们为自己设定的目标。通过友谊,我们可以变成更快乐、更明智、更满足的人。
返回首页
友谊的第一个成果是平和,平和来自与朋友分享我们的快乐、悲伤、成功和失败。在这里,友谊有双重优势——幸福有更大的意义,烦恼在分担后减半!当然,这种开放性来自亲密的友谊。有了真正的朋友,我们可以尽情地分享我们的快乐和悲伤。我们知道,我们的朋友不仅会尊重我们的感情,而且会珍惜这些亲密时光。事实上,人的内心依赖这样的安慰和保护机会。
返回首页
友谊的第二个成果是通过与善意的、智慧的朋友交谈,可能会获得的更好的理解和判断。我们常常发现认识别人的弱点比认识自己的更容易。因此,如果我们只被自己的感觉支配,我们的判断就可能是片面的。另一方面,我们的朋友能更好地为我们必须做出的重要决定提供建议。此外,当我们想和朋友详谈我们的问题时,我们必须先把自己的想法用言语表达出来。只有这样才能使我们的想法更加清晰,使我们对自己的问题了解得更加透彻。
返回首页
友谊的第三个成果是朋友可能会用许多不同的方式提供的帮助。有时朋友甚至被称为我们的“第二个自己”。生活中有很多事情只有在朋友的帮助下才能实现。朋友可能有许多不同的想法和技能。他们可以帮助我们获得我们在生前,甚至死后想要的东西。

最后,应该指出的是,与一群人在一起和与朋友在一起,不是一回事。选择朋友须谨慎,经营友情须用心。这样,我们就能在信任的朋友的安慰、建议和帮助下更好地走上“人生之路”。
(改编自英国伟大的作家、科学家和哲学家弗朗西斯·培根的散文《论友谊》)
