Friendship is both a source of pleasure and a component of good health. People who have close friends naturally enjoy their company. Of equal importance are the concrete emotional benefits they derive. When something sensational happens to you， sharing the happiness of the occasion with friends intensifies your joy. Conversely， in times of trouble and tension， when our spirits are low， unburdening our worries and fears to compassionate friends alleviates the stress. Moreover， we may even get some practical suggestions for solving a particular problem.

友誼是快樂(lè)的源泉和健康的組成部分。有親密朋友的人自然分享他們的朋友的快樂(lè)。他們從中得到的具體的情感上的好處是同樣重要的。當(dāng)發(fā)生令人感動(dòng)的事情時(shí)，與你的朋友分享這件事的快樂(lè)會(huì)增加你的快樂(lè)。相反，當(dāng)我們遇到麻煩和承受壓力而情緒低落時(shí)，向富有同情心的朋友吐露我們的擔(dān)心和憂慮會(huì)減輕壓力。此外，我們甚至可以得到一些解決特殊問(wèn)題的切實(shí)可行的建議。
