Social life is also important to us.当我们走上“人生之路”时，有时我们可能希望独自一人思考，因为安静的反思会导致个人进步。但是，当我们寻求独处时，我们必须小心，不要总是逃脱进入自己的世界。社会生活对我们也很重要。More often than not, close friendships will help smooth outthe sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel.亲密的友谊常常会帮助平息我们所有人都打算旅行的有时是坎坷的道路。As we

48、 live in social groups, there are many benefits offriendshipthatwecanenjoy.Generallyspeaking,closefriendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart,advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set forourselves. Through friendship, we can become happier,wiser andmore satisfied humans.当我

49、们生活在社会群体中时，我们可以享受很多友谊的好处。一般而言，亲密的友谊可以带来三个“果实”：它们可以安慰心脏，劝导头部并帮助我们实现为自己设定的目标。通过友谊，我们可以变得更快乐，更智慧，更满意。The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes fromsharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure.Here,friendship has a double advantagehappiness takes on a greatermeaningandatroubles

50、haredbecomesatroublehalved!Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship.With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in fullmeasure. We know that our friends will both respect our feelingsand treasure these moments of closeness. Indeed, the humanheart depends on s

51、uch opportunities for comfort and protection.与朋友分享我们的喜悦，悲伤，成功和失败是第一场友谊的和平。在这里，友谊有双重好处-幸福具有更大的意义，共享的麻烦变成麻烦的一半！自然地，这种开放性源于亲密的友谊。与真正的朋友一起，我们随时可以充分分享我们的喜悦和悲伤。我们知道，我们的朋友将既尊重我们的感受，也珍惜这些亲密的时刻。确实，人的心脏依赖于这种舒适和保护的机会。The second fruit of friendship is the better understandingand judgement that may be achieved t

52、hrough conversations withwell-meaningandwisefriends.Weoftenfinditeasiertorecognize other peoples weaknesses than our own.友谊的第二个结果是，通过与善意和明智的朋友进行对话，可以实现更好的理解和判断。我们通常发现比我们自己更容易识别他人的弱点。As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, ourjudgements might be one-sided.

54、觉为指导，那么我们的判断可能是单方面的。另一方面，我们的朋友更有能力就我们所有人都必须做出的重要决定提供建议。另外，当我们想与朋友讨论我们的问题时，我们必须首先将自己的想法说出来。仅此一项就可以使我们的思想更清晰，并使我们对我们的问题有更彻底的了解。The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend mayoffer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even knownas our “second self”. There are so many things in life

55、 that canonly beachieved with the help of friends.友谊的第三个成果是朋友可以以许多不同方式提供的帮助。有时朋友甚至被称为我们的“第二自我”。生活中有很多事情只能在朋友的帮助下实现。Friends may have many different ideas and skills. They canhelp us achieve what we want during life and, perhaps, even afterdeath.朋友可能有许多不同的想法和技能。它们可以帮助我们在生活中甚至死后实现我们想要的东西。Finally, it sh

In thisway,we can better walk the “path of life”with the comfort,advice and help from our trusted friends.最后，应该指出的是，享受人群的陪伴与与朋友相伴并不相

57、同。应该谨慎选择朋友，并认真发展人际关系。通过这种方式，我们可以在值得信赖的朋友的安慰，建议和帮助下更好地走“人生道路”。(Adapted from “Of Friendship”, an essaywritten by Francis Bacon, agreat English writer, scientist and philosopher)（改编自伟大的英国作家，科学家和哲学家弗朗西斯培根（Francis Bacon）的论文友谊（Of Friendship）UNIT 3 Getting alongwith othersReadingFriendship on the rock: ple
