2.實(shí)用對(duì)話
On Friendship關(guān)于友情
Mary: What kind of qualities do you look for in a friend?
瑪麗:你希望你的朋友有什么樣的品質(zhì)?
Jason: I like people who are open and friendly. They should be sincere, and I believe that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
杰森:我喜歡坦率友好的人。他們應(yīng)該真誠(chéng),我相信患難的朋友才是真正的朋友。
Mary: I don't like to make friends with people who are dishonest. Honesty is very important to me.
瑪麗:我不喜歡和不誠(chéng)實(shí)的人交朋友。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),誠(chéng)實(shí)很重要。
Jason: I think it's important to most people. The problem is that you can usually only discover if someone is honest by getting to know them, then seeing if they can be trusted. Without trust, there is no friendship.
杰森:我覺得這對(duì)大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)裔巧艮重要。問題是你只有在了解別人之后,才知道他們是不是誠(chéng)實(shí),是不是值得信任。沒有信任,就沒有友誼。
Mary: You can find out from their friends. And you never know when they are joking and when they are being serious.
瑪麗:你可以從他們的朋友那兒了解啊。還有,你根本就不知道他們什么時(shí)候是在開玩笑,什么時(shí)候是認(rèn)真的。
Jason: Sometimes, it can be hard to tell. But if you know the person fairly well. you can usually see from their expression what they are really thinking.
杰森:有時(shí)候是很難區(qū)分。但如果你很了解這個(gè)人,你就可以從他們的表情看出他們到底在想什么。
Mary: It seems that we generally like different kinds of people. How is it that we are such good friends?
瑪麗:好像我們通常都會(huì)喜歡不同類型的人。我們倆怎么會(huì)成了好朋友呢?
Jason: Maybe people don't like to have friends that are all the same. Most people like a little variety in their lives, including a variety of characteristics in their friends.
杰森:也許人們不喜歡什么都一樣的朋友吧。大部分人都喜歡他們的生活有些變化,包括他們的朋友也要有各種各樣的性格。
