Friendship and Love

Guidance for Reciting

Charles Peguy once said,“Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.”Do you think so?Before you go,you'd better make a difference between love and friendship.

Friendship occupies your mind. Love occupies your soul.

Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best. Love is when you bring them the very best.

Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there when in need. Love is when you will give up everything to be at their side.

Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care. Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart.

Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust. Love is when you feel like you are the only two around.

Friendship is a warm smile in the winter. Love is a warm touch that sends a pulse through your heart.

Friendship is being close even when you are far apart. Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart when they are not near.

Friendship can survive without love. Love cannot live without friendship.

友谊与爱情

诵读导言

查尔斯?佩圭曾经说:“爱情甚至比天才还少见,而友谊又比爱情更少见。”你是否也这样认为?在进行思考之前,你最好弄清爱情和友谊之间的差别。

友谊占据你的头脑;爱情占据你的灵魂。

友谊是祝福他人最美好的未来;爱情是你为他人创造最幸福的生活。

友谊是急人所急鼎力相助;爱情是赴汤蹈火在所不惜。

友谊是当有人凝视你的双眼时你知道那代表关怀;爱情是当有人凝视你的双眼时你的心窝倍觉温暖。

友谊是和你信任的人在公园里静静地散步;爱情是你感觉像置身于只有两个人的世界。

友谊是冬日里一个温暖的笑容;爱是柔情的触碰在心中划过一道电流。

友谊是纵隔千里犹若比邻;爱情是身在两地而心手相连。

没有爱情,友谊仍可继续;若无友谊,爱情将无法生存。

口语点津

在对比差别时,我们经常可以使用“Something is when…”这种句式结构。让我们试一试翻译“危险和风险的区别”吧,“当结果不确定时就有风险,当你的肉体要受到严重伤害时就有危险”,译成英语就是:Risk is when an outcome is uncertain. Danger is when your flesh will be torn.
