Conversation:

A: How are you doing, Andrew?

你最近怎么樣，安德魯？

B: Not well. I've been feeling pretty lonely lately.

不怎么樣，我最近覺得特別孤單。

A: But you have so many friends, how could you be lonely?

可是你有那么多的朋友，怎么會孤單呢？

B: You know what they say, "a friend to all is a friend to none". I don't feel like I really know any of my friends. In fact, I should probably call them acquaintances, not friends.

你知道有句俗話是這么說的，“交滿交友滿天下，知心無一人”。我覺得我對自己的朋友，其實哪一個都不了解。坦白說，我不該管他們叫朋友啊，應該是叫熟人。

A: What about me? I'm your friend.

那我什么呢？我是你的朋友呀。

B: I know you are. But you're my girlfriend. I wish I had a guy friend to hang out with sometimes.

我知道你是可是。你是我女性朋友。我希望自己能有個男性朋友，有時候可以混在一起消磨時間的那種。

A: I know what you mean. I find it difficult to make new friends too. It's not as easy as it was when we were young, is it?

我懂你的意思。我也覺得這叫新朋友不是件容易的事，不像我們年輕的時候那么容易了，對吧？

B: Yes.

是的。

A: I've made a lot of new friends since I started learning English. Maybe you could join a club or take a class to make some new friends.

我開始學英語以后認識了不少新朋友。如果你去參加個俱樂部或者報個班，也許能認識新朋友。

B: That's a good idea.

這個主意不錯。

A: What kind of qualities do you look for in a friend?

你希望找到的朋友有什么樣的品質(zhì)？

B: I'm not sure. I guess I'd like to meet some people who have a positive attitude.

我也說不好，我想我希望能認識一些有積極人生態(tài)度的人。
