The value of friends I am losing friends left and right, well, actually, only left.Some friendships, however, have been strengthened during this election.When I was 6, I learned a song: \"Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other\'s gold.\" Even as a child, I was a born raconteur, so I always had lots of friends.But, by the time I got to fourth grade, I was already getting into political brawls.Early on, I began living my politically active mother\'s joke, \"My name, it opens some doors and closes others.\" I learned to tone it down a bit by the time I got to college.As a theater major, it was fun in an acting cla one day, when we each had to pretend to be another student.I chose to mimic a beautiful petite girl with long dark hair.She was my polar opposite, this former cheerleader-turned-hippie-prince named Michelle.She got a kick out of my impreion of her.I thought it was cool that she could laugh at herself.We began a friendship that has brought us to the present day.Yet we were always opposites.I am Roman Catholic, she is Jewish.I am tall, she is short.One rainy afternoon on campus, Michelle insisted on carrying the umbrella for both of us, (I don\'t think I stood up straight until the next day!) Back then, she was as paionate a Democrat as I was a Republican.However, my friend and I still had something in common that was more important than all the differences.We shared the same values and they showed up in a dozen little ways.That is why we are friends almost 30 years later.Furthermore, she had been moving in my direction politically before, but Sept.11, 2001, brought us to a new level of communication.We have bonded even more during this election.Sadly, I also have re-evaluated some other friendships as tensions increased due to the Kerry-Edwards demagoguery.This is the first time in memory that I\'ve even been appalled by both spouses of the Democratic ticket.I rather liked Tipper Gore and Hadaa Lieberman.I thought they were sweet.And that\'s the way I used to feel about my liberal pals.But, now a Teresa Heinz-Kerry-like irrationality/Elizabeth Edwards snotty innuendo has infected some of them -- and it makes them unpleasant to be around.This election may leave those friendships in its wake.The outlook is definitely not good for their Christmas card inclusion.Sept.11, Iraq, the demonization of Israel by Kerry\'s European fans, the beheadings -- all of the latter just doesn\'t seem to change the \'90s mentality of those I know who are voting for the Democratic Party ticket.Like Kerry, they still seem to consider the United States\' life-and-death struggle a nuisance.These liberal friends of mine are certainly not bad people, but deep down, they still don\'t get that we are at war with a greater evil than any of us has ever known.Combined with the extremism culturally on the left, these people are becoming more than a nuisance themselves.The sobering fact is that these friendships are just too taxing (in both senses of that word).Those relationships have become like old prom drees in that they just don\'t fit anymore.There comes a point where some aociations can become a fire hazard in one\'s closet.It may be time to do spring cleaning, even if the season is autumn.Sure, friends can\'t agree on everything, nor are they supposed to but though I may think someone\'s a nice person, fun, etc., increasingly deep differences in our world view can\'t be ignored in these frightening times.Three decades later, Michelle is no longer the shorter-than-me actre who insisted on carrying the umbrella as we walked to cla, though she is still shorter than me.But she and I easily walk together under an umbrella of shared concerns.A few weeks ago we sat side by side at a most moving event celebrating Jewish and Christian support of Israel and each other.Yet, we still live very different lives.My college friend has been married for 25 years to the love of her life, the mother of three and an executive in an entertainment corporation.And meanwhile her single free-lancing writer/actre friend, even after all these years still does impreions of her only in print now.Happily, others have also come along to become comrades in
arms this election.They represent a diversity in lifestyle that would warm any liberal\'s heart (although said liberal wouldn\'t warm our hearts).There\'s Genie the stockbroker, Cathy the casting director, Robin the mom of one of my former acting students, Sally the daughter of one of my mother\'s old friends and many others.Their e-mail meages and calls let me know that though other friendships may wither during this election, I\'m hardly alone.They all have a point of view that enables us to skip to shorthand.(\"Did you read Drudge?\" \"Yep!\") All of these women make up my own personal non-elitist version of \"The View, The Conservative Cut.\" Yes, now those old children\'s lyrics resonate with a new meaning in \"Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold.\" Regretfully, without shared values even after this tumultuous election of 2004, some friendships may have turned to a tin that rings hollow in these perilous times.By the way, I recently chatted with one of those former Brownies who sang with me so long ago, She is a \"security mom.\" She is voting for George W.Bush and she will definitely be included on my Christmas card list.自己精简的选点吧 找的是很经典的 Friendship Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends.My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.As students, we could share more time with our friends.The friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple.I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends.Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends.Justin was my English teacher from the USA.I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English.Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the cla active and attractive.He taught us English by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing.I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our cla, we went to some other claes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve.It was so interesting and unforgettable.Justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study English well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others\' lives.I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts.Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care.Justin is the best friend I have ever had, and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives.It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be.It is also like a cup of tea.When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that.More and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship.They work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work.Of course, we don\'t deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends.All of us have to spare some time for personal lives.We have to find the chance to expre our emotion and love.When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely.We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether.I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn\'t even have a friend.But it doesn\'t mean we could depend on our friends all the time.There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true.We have to work hard together with
our friends, encourage each other and help each other.When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.Finally, let\'s pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives.Let\'s pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

世上有比友情更令人感觉温馨的吗？好酒难得，好友更难得。朋友就是朋友，绝没有任何事能代替，绝没有任何东西能形容--就是世界上所有的玫瑰，也不能比拟友情的芬芳与美丽。 朋友，还是这个世界上最令人愉快的东西。友谊，更是这个世界上最不能缺少的东西。对一个情绪低落的人来说，朋友的一句鼓励，甚至比世上所有的良药都有用。
朋友之间良好的关系既是友谊，其中包括了解、欣赏、信任、容忍、牺牲……诸多美德。友谊是雨中的伞，是黑夜里的灯火，是扬帆航船途中的风，是崎岖山路上的扶手，友谊是一间不上锁的房间，你随时可以敲门进入；友谊也是一把钥匙，能帮你打开心灵之门。 然而友谊并非唾手可得，就是把友谊的标准降低一些，真正能称得起朋友的还是很难得。试想一想，如有银钱经手的事，你信得过的朋友能有几人？在你蹭蹬失意或疾病患难之中还肯登门拜访乃至雪中送炭的朋友又有几人？你出门在外之际对于你的家人肯加照顾者又有多少？再退一步，平素投桃报李，莫逆于心，能维持长久于不坠者，又有几人？世界上是有朋友的，不过虽然无需打着灯笼去找，却是像沙里淘金而且还需要长时间地洗炼。一旦真铸成了友谊，便会金石同坚，永不退转。
患难见真情。不错，在困境中，在受难时，来自朋友的帮助便显得特别可贵。有时，哪怕是一具关切善意的眼神，也会像一簇炭火，在冰天雪地中送给你温暖。当你被成功和得意冲昏头脑时，友谊会像一盆凉水，兜头泼来，把你浇醒。
是的，友谊是锦上添花，更是雪中送炭，友谊是阳关大道上的携手远足，更是崎岖攀登路上的相互搀扶。
友谊是一棵树，要用真诚和挚爱去浇灌，用信任和宽容去栽培。嫉妒和猜疑是毒药，会使友谊之树根枯叶焦，失去生命的绿色。
友谊是推心置腹的交谈，是默默无声的关怀。友谊是不求回报的付出，是无拘无束的平等交流。友谊是理解，是尊重，是从一颗开放的心走进另一颗开放的心。友谊是驱逐孤独和绝望的动力。
友谊之乐是积极的。一个人，纵然功名显赫，万贯缠腰，倘若没有一个可以敞开胸禁以心换心的真朋友，终究可悲可怜。没有友谊的人生，是残缺不全的人生，不值得羡慕。 没有友谊，没有朋友的人生，是惨淡的人生，也是失败的人生。

大约两年前，我的男朋友问我，你相信世界上有永远的爱吗？他在等着我的表白，我说是，但我说那是友情。 现在，他是我的前男友，但是曾经那些安慰我 陪伴我的朋友，现在始终还在。 我始终认为友情是最容易持久的感情。比如说，当你犯错时，朋友不会是父母的责备，或者情人出于宠爱的一味包容。朋友会帮你在无形中改正——即使在大人眼中，我们是狐朋狗友。 情人吵架常常说要分手，但很少听朋友吵架说要绝交。这种浅浅的，不太起眼的，但是却像荨草一样坚固的，拉扯不断的，才能称之为友情。 朋友会陪你一起哭，一起笑。朋友知道你不能说的秘密，知道你最为得意的事，也知道你丢人的样子。 我想，朋友就是理智而无条件的陪伴。 我不要那种翻译器直接来的啊……我要英语好的帮我翻译……有些地方可能词不大好找，就用差不多的代替就可以>
\"Do you believe with that LOVE will be here forever in this world ?\" My boyfriend has asked me two years ago.I knew he was waiting for my answer, so I said \"sure\" to him, \"but that will be friendship.\" Now, he becomes my ex-boyfriend, however, those friends who have ever comforted me are still here with me all the time.I believe that friendship is the most lasting feeling that could be keep.They couldn\'t blame you as your parents or tolerate you as your boyfriend.Friends will just give you a hand to perfect yourself, even though they were seemed as \"bad\" in the eye of parents.\"Good-bye\" always be said easily between sweethearts when quarrelling.But, it never happened in friends.These feelings with slight and plain, but tough even ineffaceable could be called \"Friend.\" Cry with
you, laugh with you; They know everything about you: secret, pride and even disgrace...Friends are just to be around with you unconditionally with reason I realize.
Friendship Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends.My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.As students, we could share more time with our friends.The friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple.I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends.Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends.Justin was my English teacher from the USA.I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English.Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the cla active and attractive.He taught us English by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing.I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our cla, we went to some other claes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve.It was so interesting and unforgettable.Justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study English well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others\' lives.I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts.Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care.Justin is the best friend I have ever had, and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives.It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be.It is also like a cup of tea.When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that.More and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship.They work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work.Of course, we don\'t deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends.All of us have to spare some time for personal lives.We have to find the chance to expre our emotion and love.When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely.We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether.I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn\'t even have a friend.But it doesn\'t mean we could depend on our friends all the time.There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true.We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other.When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.Finally, let\'s pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives.Let\'s pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.
