真朋友值得拥有：每个人都应该有的六种朋友（英汉对照）

1. The friend who is cooler than you

比你更酷的朋友

The world changes quickly and some people are just that little bit better at keeping up with what’s hip than we are. Like those friends who know that NO ONE EVER says hip any more, for instance. We like to be around these people, because they’re a beacon of cool. Cool things just flock to them.

这个世界瞬息万变，总有一些人比我们更了解什么是流行，就像有些朋友们知道现在没有人再说hip这个词。我们喜欢围绕着这些人，因为他们是流行的指向标。潮流朝着他们蜂拥而至。

These are the people who help you to open your eyes, have a flow-on effect for introducing you to other cool people and help to unstick yourself from the rut that’s all too easy to get bogged in. These people enrich your life by exposing you to things that may have otherwise have passed you by.

这些人开阔了你的视野，让你认识到更多的潮人，使我们打破常规，突破自我。他们向你展示一些你可能已经错过的东西，从而丰富我们的生活。

2. The friend who is up for anything

时刻待命的朋友

People are busy, we get it. But there’s nothing more frustrating than having to reschedule your re-re-re-scheduled catch-up. Everyone needs a friend who you can call at the drop of a hat. A friend who says hell yeah, I’m up for that. That’s why it’s good to have a mate who you don’t need to issue a 28-day notice to just to meet for a frappuccino. It’s refreshing (the friend, that is, not necessarily the frappuccino.)

我们知道现在每个人都很忙，但最令人沮丧的事就是：你不得不一次次重新安排你的行程。每个人都需要一个随叫随到的朋友，他会对你说：嗨，我就来。我们不需要为了一杯咖啡提前28天预约，这就是拥有这类朋友的好处，这令人感到愉快。

This friend is the flexible, no frills friend who makes your life a breeze. Nothing is ever too hard and they’re open to doing new things and changing plans at short notice. Their enthusiasm is contagious and you always have more fun when they are around.

这种朋友是灵活的，不会摆架子来搅乱你的生活。对他们而言，没有什么事情是不可克服的，他们乐于去尝试做一些新鲜而又刺激的事情。他们的热情会感染你，当你待在他们身边时你总能收获更多的欢

乐。

3. The friend who you aspire to be

令你渴望成为他那种人的朋友

Oprah Winfrey once said: Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher. And we all need to live life a little bit closer to Oprah. These people challenge you to be the best version of yourself. The only downside is that sometimes they can be infuriating and inspiring in equal measure. This friend is only an important role model if they behave in ways that are authentic and genuine. They will see the best in you and give you important feedback on both your strengths and weaknesses.

奥普拉温弗瑞曾说：和那些可以让你提升自己的人在一起。我们都需要像奥普拉那样生活。这些人可以激励你变得更优秀，唯一的不足就是，有时在他们激励你的时候又会使你恼羞成怒。如果他们的行为是真诚的，那么他们就是你很重要的行为榜样。他们会看见你最好的一面，也会指出你的优劣。

4. The friend who doesn’t know any of your other friends

与你其他朋友不相干的朋友
