ON FRIENDSHIP ------ 选自 《纪伯伦散文诗经典·珍趣篇》

Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.  And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.  When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."

你的朋友能满足你的需要，你的朋友是你的土地，你在那里怀着爱而播种，含着感谢而收获，从中得到食粮、柴草：因为你空腹投友，正为寻求温饱，倘若朋友向你畅谈思想，正确与否，请你务必坦率直讲。

And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;

For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.

假若你的朋友一声不吭，那么你要静听他的心声，因为在友谊里无需言辞，思想和愿望会自生自长，朋友们自待一道喜采成熟果实。

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the uNPRofitable is caught.

别离朋友之时，也无需悲伤、忧愁，因为你无比敬重他，或许因为暂别，你对他的情感更胜一筹，犹如登山者看山，比在平原看更清晰、高大。你们要全心全意增进友谊，不可怀有其他目的。别有寄托的友谊，不是真正的友谊，而是撒入生活海洋里的网，到头来空收无益。

And let your best be for your friend.

If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.

For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?

Seek him always with hours to live.

For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

请把最宝贵的东西献给朋友!假若你生活的退潮值得向朋友讲，那么也应该让他知道涨潮情况；在这个世界上，只为消磨时间，那么，他还能算得你的朋友吗？

常到充满活力的朋友那里去，只有这样的朋友，才能满足你的需要，只有他才能驱散你心中的空虚与烦躁：让天使光临友谊的百花园！在露珠晶莹的晨曦里，人心振奋，春意盎然!
