A Friend — Edgar A. Guest
朋友–埃德加·阿尔贝特·格斯特
A friend is one who stands to share
朋友就是无话不说
Your every touch of grief and care
分担烦恼共享欢乐
He comes by chance, but stays by choice
相识于偶然，但却不离不弃
Your praises he is quick to voice
你的溢美之词也能秒入他耳
No grievous fault or passing whim can make an enemy of him
没有什么大错抑或奇思怪想会使你们反目成仇
And though your need be great or small
只要你有求于他，大或小
His strength is yours throughout it all
他都帮你渡过任何难关
No matter where your path may turn
无论你走向何方
Your welfare is his chief concern
最担心的是你的冷暖
No matter what your dream may be
你的凌云壮志
He prays your triumph soon to see
他都为你祈祷盼你早日实现
There is no wish your tongue can tell
任何美好祝愿都无以言表
But what it is your friend’s as well
如果有，你的朋友也和你心照不宣
The life of him who has a friend
一生有朋友陪伴
Is double-guarded to the end
永远都不会深陷迷途
