Lesson ten On friendship
Four different-kinds of friendship：
American
Few American stay put for a lifetime. Americans use the word“friend”to a wide range from someone known only a few weeks，most people，old and young r called by first name，and friends flow in and out American family with little ceremony.很少美國人一輩子呆在一個地方的。美國人使用朋友一詞時，朋友可適用廣泛只結(jié)識幾個星期的，朋友們進(jìn)進(jìn)出出美國家庭很少有禮節(jié)。
France
In France，as in many European countries，friends generally are of the same sex，and friendship is seen as basically a relationship between men.正如許多歐洲國家一樣，在法國，朋友通常都是性別相同之人，友誼被視為是男士間的基本關(guān)系。
For the French，friendship is a one-to-one relationship that demands a keen awareness of the other person‘s intellect，temperament and particular interests.法國人所認(rèn)為的友情是一種一對一的關(guān)系，要求一方能敏銳地察覺另一方的才智、性情以及特別的興趣愛好。
The special relationship of friendship is based on what the French value most–on the mind，on having the same of outlook，on vivid awareness of some chosen area of life.友誼這一特殊關(guān)系以法國人最珍視的東西為基礎(chǔ)——思想、觀點的一致以及對生活中某一方面的具體感悟。
Germany
In Germany，friendship is much more clearly a matter of feeling，from deeply sentimental attachments，not so much to polish their wits as to share their hopes and fears and dreams. Within the family，the closest relationship over the lifetime is between brothers and sisters. Outside the family，men and women find in their closest friends of the same sex the devotion of sister，the loyalty of a brother.在德國友誼更明確地表現(xiàn)為感情問題，彼此建立起深厚的感情，其目的并不是為了增加自己的智慧，而是為了分享彼此的愿望、憂慮與夢想。在家庭內(nèi)部，一生中最親密的關(guān)系存在于兄弟姐妹之間。在家庭以外，人們在同性間最親密的朋友身上發(fā)現(xiàn)如姐妹般的奉獻(xiàn)，如兄弟般的忠誠。

English
English friendships，their basis is shared activity. In the midst of the activity，whatever it may be，people fall into step.英國人之間的友情建立的基礎(chǔ)是共同的行為。無論是何種行為，在行為的過程中人們的步調(diào)變得一致。
And a break in an English friendship comes not necessarily as a result of misjudgement，where one friend seriously misjudges how the other will think or feel act，so that suddenly they are out of step.此外英國人友誼的中斷并不是由于見解不同或情感不和造成的，而是由于判斷失誤造成的，一個人可能會很嚴(yán)重地對另一個人的思維方式、感受或行為方式做出了錯誤的判斷，于是彼此間突然變得不默契。
What's the friendship？
There is the recognition that friendships r formed，in contrast with kinship，through freedom of choice. A friend is someone who choose and is chosen. Related to this is the sense each friend gives the other of being a special individual，on whatever grounds this recognition is based. And between friends there is inevitably a kind of equality of give and take.人們一致認(rèn)為，與親屬關(guān)系不同，友誼建立在自由選擇的基礎(chǔ)上。朋友既是選擇別人又為別人所選擇的人。隨之而來的是在朋友之間雙方都能使對方感到自己是與眾不同的，無論這種感覺的依據(jù)是什么。此外朋友間不可避免地要有來有往，互讓互諒。
Lesson thirteen How to grow old？
老年人應(yīng)如何避免變老？
Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is too great an absorption in the past. One should not live in memories，in regrets for the good old days，or in sadness about friend who are dead. One‘s thoughts must be directed to the future，and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy；one’s own past is a gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one‘s emotions used to be more vivid than they are，and one’s mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten，and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.從心理角度來說，老年時期要提防兩種危險。一是沉湎于過去。人不應(yīng)該生活在記憶之中，不要總為一去不復(fù)返的好時光而懊喪，不要總為故去的朋友而悲傷。人的思想應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)向未來，應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)向自己還能有所作為的那些事情上去。要做到這一點并非易事；自己的過去逐漸成了精神負(fù)擔(dān)。人很容易自思自量，感到自己的感情不如以往強烈，思維不如以往敏銳。如果真是如此，就別去想它，假如你根本不去想它，也許這就不會成真。
The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of finding strength in its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives，and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young，you are likely to become a burden to them，unless they are unusually insensible. I do not mean that one should be without interest in them，but one‘s interest should be contemplative and，if possible，philanthropic，but not too emotional.另一件要避免的事，就是依戀子女，希望從他們身上的活力中獲取生命的力量。孩子們長大之后，想過自己的生活，如果你還是像他們小時候那樣關(guān)注他們，你很可能會成為他們的負(fù)擔(dān)，除非他們十分麻木而感覺不到這一點。我不是說不應(yīng)該關(guān)注他們，而是說對他們的關(guān)注應(yīng)該是含蓄的，如果有可能還應(yīng)是寬厚的，但感情上不要過于依賴他們。
