L：Hey, Mary, what's up?

嗯,瑪麗,最近怎么樣?

M：Not much. Last night I met this great guy at the bar and we had such a wonderful time that we decided to meet again tonight.

還行吧,昨天晚上在酒吧里遇到一個特別好的人,我們玩得非常開心,于是決定今天晚上再見一面.

L：Oh, that's exciting. What's this guy like? Is he hot?

哦,真不錯.這個人長什么樣啊,帥嗎?

M：Well, I ddin't think so at first. But as we started talking, I found him extremely funny and witty. I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes! We have so much in common. We like the same teams, music, and most amazingly, we both love Chinese food! I have the feeling that we are going to be great friends.

我剛開始的時候不覺的,可是聊起天來,我發(fā)現(xiàn)他特別風(fēng)趣詼諧,他講的笑話讓我笑得不停.而且我們還有很多共同點,我們喜歡相同的運動隊,相同的音樂,最不可思議的是,我們都喜歡中國菜!我覺得我們會成為很好的朋友的.

L：It seems you two are a good match. What qualities do you look for in a friend?

看來你們倆還挺般配的.你找朋友時注重什么品質(zhì)呢?

M：There's nothing definite I think. I don't have a list or anything, but when I first meet somebody, I can usually tell whether or not that person is going to be a good friend. It seems I have a radar helping me spot new friends.

我覺得并不是非要有特別的品質(zhì).我沒有什么特別的要求,但是當(dāng)我第一次遇見一個人時,我通常能知道他能不能成為我的好朋友.我好像有一個雷達,幫助我在人群中找到我的朋友.

L：Well, that's something I've never heard of. But if you ask me what I value most in a friend, I would have to say honesty.

還沒聽過這個說法呢,但是要我說什么是朋友最重要的品質(zhì),我覺得就是誠實.

M：I agree. You can't expect a close relationship with a dishonest person. Those are the people that will turn their back on you when you are in need.

我同意你的說法,和一個不誠實的人在一起肯定不會有深層次的交流,他們往往會在你需要的時候離你而去.

L：Yeah, I know. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I don't need fair-weather friends either.

是的,我知道,患難見真情,我不想要只能共甘不能共苦的朋友
