交友标准

杰克:你在朋友身上看重什么品质?

琼:我喜欢和开朗友好的人交朋友。这样的人通常都会比较活跃,跟他们在一起很有意思。

杰克:没错,但是有时候,那些不是很开朗活跃的人可以是非常好的朋友。

琼:当然。这就是为什么一个人在生活中会有不同的朋友。

杰克:是的。我喜欢跟那些我能相处得来的人交朋友。

琼:当然!谁会跟那些与自己相得不来的人交朋友呢?

杰克:不要误解我的意思。我是说你跟有些人可能并没有很多共同点,但是你跟他们在一起的时会感觉很舒服。这种感觉非常棒。

琼:我同意,但是一般来说,我更倾向于跟与我志趣相投的人交朋友。我们可以一起很做多事。这非常有意思。我喜欢和朋友在一起。

杰克:这当然很好。但是我觉得友谊更重要的是要分享快乐,分担痛苦。有困难的时候互相帮助,失去信心的时候互相鼓励。

琼:是的,没错。作为一个朋友,你需要能够给予支持,愿意提供帮助,诚实可以信赖,并且是一个好的倾听者。这些品质对于维系友谊是非常重要的。
