朋友
荷叶/译 最近，一个朋友来和我度了个周末，我们从幼儿园开始就彼此不分。自从几年前我搬进城以来，我俩就一直盼望着每年为数不多的几次相聚。 这个周末，我们一直谈到深夜，谈和她鬼混的那些人。她开始给我讲她新男友的一些情况，讲他们怎样尝试吸毒，和其他的一些自毁行为。我震惊了！她告诉我她一直都在欺骗父母，偷偷跑来和这个家伙幽会，因为她父母不想让她们在一起。无论我怎样劝她，她应该有更好的生活，但她就是不相信我。她的自尊似乎已消失殆尽。 我试图说服她，她在毁灭自己的大好前程，会惹上大乱子。我觉得一点效果也没有。我就是不能理解，她真的能接受和一群失败者混在一起，尤其是她的男友。 她离开时，我确实很为她担心，这件事使我心力交瘁。我很泄气，这个周末有几次我想告诉她我们距离太远了，恐怕不能继续做朋友了，但话到嘴边，我又咽了回去。这件事会最终检验我们友谊的力量。我们做朋友时间太长了。我希望她会珍视我们的友谊，能够认识到我在努力挽救她，不让她伤害自己。我愿意相信我们的友谊会征服一切。 几天后，她打电话来，说我们的谈话让她想了很久，随后，说她已经和男友分手。在电话的这一端，我只是倾听，喜悦的泪水流了满脸。这是我一生中最有价值的一个时刻，我从没有为一个朋友如此自豪过。 附：原文 Recently, one of my best friends, whom I've shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten,spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we've both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other. Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend,about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even sneaking out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared. I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn't believe thatshe really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especiallyher boyfriend. By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship - but I didn't. I put the power of friendship to the ultimatetest. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything. A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend. |
