双语阅读：友谊的该是这样的

　　摘要：每个聪明的人都知道尊重是自己挣来的，真正的朋友间会彼此尊重。他们知道什么时候需要安静、给你私人空间，也知道什么时候把你拉回现实。我的朋友会给我建议，即使不赞同但也会尊重我的决定。

　　When you get to your thirties, your priorities change. Things that may have seemed important before will look silly now. When I celebrated my 30th birthday, I realized that my life was about to change. I used to have tons of friends but I couldn’t say every single one of them was a “quality” friend. During my twenties, I didn’t think about the type of people I spent time with. But now that I’m in my mid-thirties, I’m very selective about the kind of people I want to call my friends. Now, I have fewer friends but they are the best I can ever pray for.
