（双语）英语美文 | 朋侪

On my recent travels, I came to realize still more fully the significance of the word “friend”.这一次的旅行使我更相识一个名词的意义，这个名词就是：朋侪。Seven or eight days ago, I said to a friend whom I had just come to know, “I can’t help feeling embarrassed before my friends. You’re all so nice to me. I simply don’t know how to repay your kindness.” I did not make this remark out of mere modesty and courtesy. I truly meant what I said. The next day, I said goodbye to this friend, not knowing if I could ever see him again. But the little warmth that he gave me has been keeping my heart throbbing with gratitude.七八天以前我曾对一个初次晤面的朋侪说：“在朋侪们眼前我只感应内疚。你们待我太好了，我简直没法酬金你们。

”这并不是谦虚的客套话，这是真的事实。说过这些话，我第二天就脱离了谁人朋侪，并不知道以后另有没有时机再见他。

可是他给我的那一点点温暖至今还使我的心颤抖。The length of my days will not be unlimited. However, whenever I look back on my brief past life, I find a beacon illuminating my soul and thereby lending a little brightness to my being. That beacon is friendship. I should be grateful to it because it has helped me keep alive up to now and clear away the shadow left on me by my old family.我的生命或许不会很恒久罢。

然而在短促的已往的回首中却有一盏明灯，照彻了我的灵魂的黑暗，使我的生存有一点色泽。这盏灯就是友情。我应该谢谢它，因为靠了它我才气够活到现在，而且把旧家庭给我留下的阴影扫除了的也正是它。
