My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I'm quieter and more serious than most kids. That's why I like reading books and I study harder in class.
我的媽媽告訴我,好朋友就像是一面鏡子。我比大多數(shù)的孩子都更安靜更嚴(yán)肅。那就是為什么我喜歡讀書,在班級(jí)中我學(xué)習(xí)更加努力。
My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I'm shy so it's not easy for me to make friends.
我最好的朋友袁立也很安靜,所以我們喜歡在一起學(xué)習(xí)。我很害羞所以交朋友對我來說并不容易。
But I think friends are like books - you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good.
但是我認(rèn)為朋友就像是書籍——只要足夠好,不需要很多。
It's not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He istaller and more outgoing than me.
不必一模一樣。我最好的朋友拉里和我很不相同。他比我更高,也比我更外向。
We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me.
我們都喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng),但是他的網(wǎng)球打得更好,所以他總是贏。但是,拉里常常幫助我展示出最好的一面。
So I'm getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.
所以我的網(wǎng)球打得越來越好。而拉里學(xué)習(xí)不太用功。我總是比他取得更好的分?jǐn)?shù),所以也許我應(yīng)該更多地幫助他。
I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is, "A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart."
我不是十分介意我的朋友們和我相同還是不同。我最喜歡的一句話是,“真正的朋友可以伸出援手,觸動(dòng)你的內(nèi)心。”
My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she's funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.
我最好的朋友卡羅十分善良有趣。事實(shí)上,她比我認(rèn)識(shí)的任何人都有趣。去年我弄壞了自己的胳膊,但是她逗我開心,讓我感覺更好。
We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.
我們無話不談,可以分享一切。我知道她很在乎我,因?yàn)樗偸窃敢鈨A聽。
