友誼意味著彼此友好相處或與他人交朋友。人類是一種社會動物,他們不能孤立存在,他們在生理上和情感上都彼此需要。
However, some people distort friendship by forming small groups that are harmful to others, or even to the whole community. In university some students from the same city or province form an association to help each other. But such associations often exclude students from other parts of the country, and thus do not promote friendship in a broad sense.
然而,有人卻把組建對付他人、甚至于危害整個社會的小團體曲解為友誼。大學里,來自同一城市或同一省份的一些學生組成一個社團,彼此互相幫助。但這樣的社團往往排斥了來自其他地區(qū)的學生,因此從廣義上講,這并不能促進友誼。
True and lasting friendship is based on a more solid foundarien. Real friends share the same ideals. While marching toward their common objective, they help each other. If one makes a mistake, his friend will not hesitate to point it out for him, because he knows the frank criticism will help him. What we need is this type of genuine friendship.
真正而持久的友誼是以更為牢固的根基為基礎的。真正的朋友擁有共同的理想。當他們向共同的目標邁進時,彼此相互幫助。若一個人犯了錯,他的朋友會毫不猶豫地為他指出來,因為他知道真誠的批評會對他有益。我們需要的就是這種真正的友誼。
