A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out. Sometimes in life， you find a special friend： someone who changes your life just by being part of it; someone who makes you laugh until you cant stop; someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world; someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is true friendship.

When youre down， and the world seems dark and empty， your true friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your true friend gets you through the hard times， the sad times， and the confused times. If you turn and walk away， your true friend follows. If you lose your way， your true friend guides you and cheers you on. Your true friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be OK.

And if you find such a friend， you feel happy， because you need not worry.

別人都走開的時候，朋友會和你待在一起。有時候在生活中，你會找到一個特別的朋友：他只是你生活的一部分，卻能改變你的生活;他會把你逗得開懷大笑;他會讓你相信人間有真情;他會讓你確信，真的有一扇不上鎖的門在等待著你去開啟。這就是真正的友誼。

你失意時，覺得世界變得黯淡與空虛，真正的朋友會讓你振作起來，原本黯淡、空虛的世界頓時變得明亮和充實起來。真正的朋友會幫你度過困難、傷心和煩惱的時刻。你轉(zhuǎn)身走開時，真正的朋友會跟隨你。你迷失方向時，真正的朋友會引導(dǎo)你、鼓勵你。真正的朋友會握著你的手，告訴你一切都會好起來。

如果你找到了這樣的朋友，你會快樂，因為你不必感到憂慮。
