友情英語(yǔ)美文閱讀與欣賞篇一
友誼的價(jià)值
The Value of FriendshipWithout friendship,one can not be happy though he is well off.Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy.It is very difficult to find a better definition of friendship than given by the philosipher Aristotle in these words:"Two bodies inhabited by one soul."True friends find pleasure in each other's joy and share sorrow in each other'sgrief.In times of trial,they will offer their help without hesitation.
Since friendship is so valuable,we should be eager to find friends.We must choose those who have very good character,superior ability and kind heart.On the other hand,we should avoid those shallow people who can be easily estranged by adversity or misfortune.Of course,we must endeavoue at the same time to cultivate all those good qualities in ourselves,so that we will be true friends of others.Such friendship will never be broken up,because the foundation on which it is set up is quite firm and strong.
沒(méi)有友誼，一個(gè)人盡管富有，他絕不可能幸福。友誼是人們享有的最大樂(lè)趣之一，很難找到一個(gè)比哲學(xué)家亞里士多德關(guān)于友誼所給出的更好的定義：“生有一個(gè)靈魂的兩個(gè)軀體。”真正的朋友同甘共苦。在考驗(yàn)面前，他們會(huì)毫不猶豫地給予幫助。
既然友誼這樣有價(jià)值，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)急于找一些朋友。我們必須選擇那些具有良好的品質(zhì)、卓越的能力和心地善良的人。另一方面，我們應(yīng)避開那些遇到逆境或不幸很容易疏遠(yuǎn)的膚淺的人。當(dāng)然，我們必須同時(shí)努力培養(yǎng)我們自身的良好品質(zhì)，以便成為他人的真正朋友。這種友情不會(huì)破裂，因?yàn)榻⑦@種友誼的基礎(chǔ)是相當(dāng)牢固的。

友情·愛情
愛情和友情的界限是什么呢?當(dāng)然，強(qiáng)烈的愛慕，震憾心弦的感情很容易區(qū)別出來(lái)。然而，淡淡的，細(xì)水長(zhǎng)流的愛情與推心置腹、無(wú)所不談的友情往往只差一線。那么怎樣來(lái)區(qū)分呢?
Both are so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.
兩者聯(lián)系是如此密切，兩者卻又那么截然不同。友情和愛情有什么區(qū)別?異性朋友間的理想化的友誼真的存在嗎?我們來(lái)試著理解下。
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
什么是友情?為什么我們管一個(gè)人叫“朋友”?什么時(shí)候我們管一個(gè)人叫作“好朋友”?如果我們關(guān)心一個(gè)人，我們總是準(zhǔn)備幫助那個(gè)人;如果我們和某個(gè)人分享大部分的想法，那個(gè)人一定是我們的好朋友。在緊急情況下我們總是依靠好朋友。我們總是確定好友會(huì)理解我們行事的方式。我們不需要向親密的朋友解釋什么。友情如此深，關(guān)系如此牢，以致于朋友間的事雙方都會(huì)很自然地理解。
What about love? In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted. But love transcends all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other, that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. Friendship does not have that. This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the specie can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
什么是愛情?在深愛中，上面我們討論的事情都是理所當(dāng)然的。但是愛情遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)這些。戀愛中，我們總是和某個(gè)人關(guān)系密切。但是在友情中，一個(gè)人可能有很多朋友。戀愛的兩個(gè)人聯(lián)系得如此緊密，如果他/她受到了傷害，另一個(gè)人也會(huì)心痛。愛情總會(huì)有身體上的接觸。友情卻沒(méi)有。這是至關(guān)重要的區(qū)別。上蒼給予了我們愛情，以使種族延續(xù)。但是上蒼卻沒(méi)有給我們友情。
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend. You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.
在盼朋友出現(xiàn)時(shí)，你的心跳不會(huì)增加;你不會(huì)夜不能寐地想著你的朋友;如果幾天沒(méi)見到朋友，你也不會(huì)完全迷失;想到朋友時(shí)，你的眼中不會(huì)有夢(mèng)想。但是在戀愛中，這一切你都會(huì)做而且程度會(huì)更深。確實(shí)，愛情和友情沒(méi)有可比性。

患難朋友見真情 A Friend in Need
Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective1 houses.
布朗尼和斯波蒂是鄰居，兩只每天相會(huì)一起玩的狗。像幾乎能在任何社區(qū)找到的成對(duì)的狗一樣，它們倆互相愛慕，常在一起玩耍嬉戲，兩家之間的草地上已經(jīng)踏出了一條小徑。
One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and, despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing.
一天傍晚，布朗尼的主人家發(fā)現(xiàn)它沒(méi)有回家，搜尋一番也沒(méi)找到。第二天，布朗尼依然沒(méi)露面。盡管人們還在努力尋找著，到了第二周，它還是不見蹤影。
Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone. Barking, whining and generally pestering2 Brownie's human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.
奇怪的是，斯波蒂獨(dú)自出現(xiàn)在布朗尼主人家，吠叫、哀嚎，還總是纏著家里的人，但他們忙于自己的生活，沒(méi)有在意鄰居家這只神經(jīng)質(zhì)的小狗。
Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie's owner, was steadily harassed3 by the furious, adamant4 little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then darting toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It's urgent!”
一天早上，斯波蒂終于拒絕接受“不”的回答。布朗尼的主人特德被這只暴怒的、不依不饒的小狗騷擾個(gè)不停。斯波蒂到處跟著特德，汪汪地叫個(gè)不停，然后竄到近處空地上，又竄回來(lái)，似乎在說(shuō)：“跟我來(lái)!情況緊急!”
Eventually, Ted followed the frantic Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty paused to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man under a tree, past clumps5 of trees, to a desolate spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he'd taken Spotty's earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
最后，特德跟著發(fā)瘋似的斯波蒂穿過(guò)空地，小狗停步奔回，用叫聲催促著。它領(lǐng)著特德從一棵樹下穿過(guò)，經(jīng)過(guò)樹叢，來(lái)到離房子半英里遠(yuǎn)的一處荒地。在那里，特德發(fā)現(xiàn)他心愛的布朗尼還活著，一條后腿被一個(gè)鋼制捕捉器夾著。特德大為震驚，后悔當(dāng)初沒(méi)有認(rèn)真對(duì)待斯波蒂的求助。隨后，一幅非凡的景象映入眼簾。
Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie's human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps1 which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!
斯波蒂不僅僅只是帶領(lǐng)布朗尼的主人來(lái)到它被困的朋友跟前。在受傷的布朗尼四周，特德發(fā)現(xiàn)有一圈狗食和餐桌上的殘羹剩飯——后來(lái)證實(shí)是那個(gè)星期每餐喂斯波蒂吃剩下的食物!
Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in a single?minded quest to keep his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort. Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from predators2, snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling3 him to keep his spirits up.
斯波蒂一直定時(shí)來(lái)看望布朗尼，一心一意要讓它的朋友活下去，吃苦受累在所不惜。顯然，斯波蒂陪著布朗尼，保護(hù)它免遭其他捕食動(dòng)物的侵襲，夜間偎依著它為它驅(qū)寒，用鼻口拱它振作它的精神。
Brownie's leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends frolicking4 and chasing each other down that well?worn path between their houses.
獸醫(yī)治愈了布朗尼的傷腿。自那以后多年中，兩家鄰居不時(shí)會(huì)看到這一對(duì)忠實(shí)的朋友嬉戲玩耍，在兩幢住房間久踩成徑的草地上相互追逐。
