　　地道表达

　　A friend in need is a friend indeed.

　　1. 解词释义

　　A friend in need is a friend indeed! 与A friend indeed is a friend in need! 都是一个意思，两种说法都对，直接翻译为：患难之交的朋友才是真正的朋友。意译为：A friend who can give a hand when you are in trouble⁷ is a really friend! 即为：当你深陷困境，给你帮助的朋友才是真正的朋友！就是“患难见真情。”的意思。In need的本意是“缺衣少食的，在贫困中的”，引申为“处于困境中的，需要帮助的”。Indeed是“确实，实在”的意思，表示“肯定”。

　　2. 拓展范例

　　A: When I have got⁸ English problems⁹, Jenny always help me with them.

　　当我遇到英语问题的时候，珍妮总是来帮我解答疑难问题。

　　B: I am happy for you because you have got a real friend. A saying¹⁰ goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
