A simple friend stands by you when you are right.A real friend stands by you even when you are wrong..(普通朋友在你正確時會支持你.真正的朋友即使在你錯了時也會支持你..)
A simple friend identifies himself when he calls.A real friend doesn’t have to..(普通朋友打來電話時需要自報家門.真正的朋友則無需這樣..)
A simple friend opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on his life.A real friend says,"What’s new with you?"(普通朋友以他生活中的新聞公告來打開話題.真正的朋友會問:"你近况如何?")
A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent.A real friend says,"You’ve been whining about the same thing for 14 years.Get off your duff and do something about it."(普通朋友認爲你所抱怨的問題都是最近才遇到的.真正的朋友會說:"你已經抱怨同一個問題14年了,從中擺脫出來并為之做點什麽吧.")
