In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend is as valuable as a precious stone. He can help you study. You can have fun together and she is a genius in understanding and tolerant others, and as a friend, she is honest and reliable.

在选择朋友时，应该非常小心。一个好朋友像宝石一样珍贵。他可以帮助你学习。你可以有乐趣，她是一个天才的理解和宽容别人，作为一个朋友，她是诚实和可靠。

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. As good friend, she always understands what another person is feeling. She is not quick to judge, instead, she tries to think of ways to be helpful. Further more, she is also a good listener. Of course, I’m one of “the others”.

首先，我寻找一个朋友的理解。作为一个好朋友，她总是了解别人的感受。她不快去评判，相反，她试图想办法是有益的。此外，她也是一个很好的听众。当然，我是“其他人”。

At the same time, however, she is a honest friend. She doesn’t look for faults in me. But she does not ignore them either, she once said to me that she would rather focus on my good points. In short, she can understand me and accept me mostly.

然而，在同一时间，她是一个诚实的朋友。她不找我的缺点。但她也不理他们，她曾经对我说，她宁愿集中于我的好点。总之，她能理解我，接受我的大部分。

As a good friend, she is also reliable. I can always depend on her, especially during the days when I prepared for my graduate acceptance test last year. And, if she tells me somewhere at a certain tine, I can be sure she well be there. If I need a favor she’ll do her best to help me. If I am in trouble, she’ll not desert me.

作为一个好朋友，她也是可靠的。我可以一直依赖于她，特别是在我准备毕业考试的日子里。而且，如果她告诉我在某个特定的时间，我可以肯定她也在那里。如果我需要帮助的话，她会尽力帮助我。如果我陷入困境，她就不会抛弃我。

So when you meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I’ll tell you that you have found a good friend.

所以当你遇到一个可靠、诚实和理解的人，我会告诉你，你已经找到了一个好朋友。
