真正的朋友

A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Sometimes in life， you find a special friend： someone who changes your life just by being part of it; someone who makes you laugh until you cant stop; someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world; someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is true friendship.

When youre down， and the world seems dark and empty， your true friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your true friend gets you through the hard times， the sad times， and the confused times. If you turn and walk away， your true friend follows. If you lose your way， your true friend guides you and cheers you on. Your true friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be OK.

And if you find such a friend， you feel happy， because you need not worry.

别人都走开的时候，朋友会和你待在一起。有时候在生活中，你会找到一个特别的朋友：他只是你生活的一部分，却能改变你的生活;他会把你逗得开怀大笑;他会让你相信人間有真情;他会让你确信，真的有一扇不上锁的门在等待着你去开启。这就是真正的友谊。

你失意时，觉得世界变得黯淡与空虚，真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实起来。真正的朋友会帮你度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。你转身走开时，真正的朋友会跟随你。你迷失方向时，真正的朋友会引导你、鼓励你。真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来。

如果你找到了这样的朋友，你会快乐，因为你不必感到忧虑。
