【今日基础词】Attach

【Transcript】

Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In the modern age, people attach more importance to relations and connections.

A man of charisma¹ has many friends. His power lies in his ability to give. The term friend covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confident, a partner, a playmate, a brother, an intimate etc. As life is full of strife² and conflict, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger.

True friends share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow.

【注】charisma n. 超凡魅力；

more often than not往往

人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。

我们给予帮助，同时也需要帮助。如今，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有领袖气质的人有许多朋友，他的权力在于他的给予能力。

朋友的意义很广，可以是熟人、同志、知己、伙伴、玩伴、兄弟、密友等。生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险难。

真正的朋友不仅与我们同甘，而且共苦
