友谊和忠诚
Text A. Reflection and Loyalty反思与忠诚
How many of us recognize true loyalty in a friend, who will stick by you, through thick and thin. A friend who is always honest with you and never betrays the friendship with lies is loyal friend. If you have a loyal friend, you have indeed found a true virtue in that friend.
我们中有多少人认识到真正的忠诚的朋友，谁会坚持你，通过厚和薄。一个总是对你诚实，从不背叛朋友的朋友是忠诚的朋友。如果你有一个忠实的朋友，你确实在那个朋友中找到了真正的美德。 The current trend on the internet is befriending anyone who requests to be your friend. However, this new trend may lead to disasters. It may be popular and trendy to have a network filled with a multitude of mutual friends. However, one true loyal friend may be the only friend you need. 目前的互联网趋势与任何人请求成为你的朋友。然而，这种新的趋势可能导致灾害。它可能是流行的和流行的有一个网络充满了众多的共同的朋友。然而，一个真正忠诚的朋友可能是你唯一需要的朋友。 A term used on the popular Facebook site is B.F.F. This acronym means best friends forever. Are they really your best friend forever? You might ask yourself this question,” Will they share my private matters with others on the page of face book, or perish the thought, engage in gossip about me with others?” If the answer to that is,” I don’t know”, more than likely, they will not be your best friends forever. Maybe not, even for a day.
使用流行的facebook网站的流行词是这个缩写是永远最好的朋友。他们真的是你最好的朋友吗？你可能会问自己这个问题，“他们会与别人分享我的私人问题，在页上的面书，或死亡的思想，搞闲话我与别人吗？如果答案是，“我不知道”，更可能的是，他们不会永远是你最好的朋友。也许没有，甚至一天。 I choose to have a B.L.F, a best loyal friend, for those of you who may be challenged by the use of acronyms during this age of technology and fast-talking. 我选择了一个b.l.f，最忠诚的朋友，你们中的一些人可能会使用首字母缩略词的挑战在这个科技时代，说话快。 Loyalty found in a friend is akin to making a deposit in a bank account. More often than not, your deposits gain internet, an interest in your well-being and welfare. A loyal friend attracts another loyal friend. In essence, water does seek its own level. 在一个朋友的忠诚是类似于在一个银行账户存款。更经常的是，你的存款增加互联网，
你的幸福和福利的兴趣。忠诚的朋友吸引了另一个忠实的朋友。从本质上说，水确实追求自己的水平。 If you were a B.L.F. way before Facebook gained notoriety, then I’m sure you understand the premise of loyalty in a friend. You should never exploit your B.L.F. to gain more friends or make yourself seem more important to others. These are not the traits of a best loyal friend.
如果你是一个b.l.f. facebook前臭名昭著的方式，那么我相信你了解一个朋友的忠诚的前提。你不应该利用你的b.l.f.来获得更多的朋友，或让自己看起来更重要一些。这些都不是最好的忠实朋友的特点。 A best loyal friend does not care who is invited to your party. They will attend your party and celebrate you, just in the way a best loyal friend should do. 一个最好的忠诚的朋友不关心谁被邀请参加你的聚会。他们会参加你的聚会，庆祝你，就在一个最好的忠实朋友的路上。 Reconnecting with a best loyal friend is easier to do on the pages of Facebook. However, a virtual friend does not assure you of his loyalty. My caution to you is that you’d better pay attention to the smiling faces on the Facebook pages. In the eighties we were warned of smiling faces in a song, which contained these lyrics,” A smile is just a frown turned upside down, my friend.”Now, that is the undisputed truth for my generation. 与最忠诚的朋友是更容易在facebook页面。然而，一个虚拟的朋友不能保证你的忠诚。我对你的警告是，你最好注意脸上的笑容。在八十年代，我们被警告的一首歌，其中载有这些歌词的笑脸，“微笑是只是一个皱眉转身颠倒了，我的朋友。”现在，，是无可争议的事实，对于我这一代。
