Unit 5The Tapestry of FriendshipEllen Goodman1It was, in many ways, a slight movie. Nothing actually happened. There was no big-budget chase scene, no bloody shoot-out. The story ended without any cosmic conclusions.2Yet she found Claudia Weill’s film Girlfriend gentle and affecting. Slowly, it panned across the tapestry of friendship –showing its fragility, its resiliency, its role as the connecting tissue between the lives of two young women.3When it was over, she thought about the movies she had seen this year –Julia，The Turning Point and now Girlfriends. It seemed that the peculiar eye, the social lens of the cinema, had drastically shifted its focus. Suddenly the Male Buddy movies had been replaced by the Female Friendship flicks.4This wasn’t just another binge of trendiness, but a kind of cinema vérité. For once the movies were reflecting a shift, not just from men to women but from one definition of friendship to another.5Across millions of miles of celluloid, the ideal of friendship had always been male –a world of sidekicks and “partners” of Butch Cassidys and Sundance Kids.There had been something almost atavistic about these visions of attachments – as if producers culled their plots from some pop anthropology book on male bonding.Movies portrayed the idea that only men, those direct descendants of hunters and Hemingways, inherited a primal capacity for friendship. In contrast, they portrayed women picking on each other, the way they once picked berries.6Well, that duality must have been mortally wounded in some shootout at the You’re OK, I’m OK Corral.Now, on the screen, they were at least aware of the subtle distinction between men and women as buddies and friends.7About 150 years ago, Coleridge had written, “A woman’s friendship borders more closely on love than man’s. Men affect each other in the reflection of noble or friendly acts, whilst women ask fewer proofs and more signs and expressions of attachment.”8Well, she thought, on the whole, men had buddies, while women had friends.Buddies bonded, but friends loved. Buddies faced adversity together, but friends faced each other. There was something palpably different in the way they spent their time. Buddies seemed to “do” things together; friends simply “were” toge ther.9Buddies came linked, like accessories, to one activity or another. People have golf buddies and business buddies, college buddies and club buddies. Men often keep their buddies in these categories, while women keep a special category for friends.10 A man once told her that men weren’t real buddies until they had been“through the wars” together – corporate or athletic or military. They had to soldier together, he said. Women, on the other hand, didn’t count themselves as friends until they had shared three loathsome confidences.11Buddies hang tough together; friends hang onto each other.12It probably had something to do with pride. You don’t show off to a friend;you show need. Buddies try to keep the worst from each other; friends confess it. 13 A friend of hers once telephoned her lover, just to find out if he was home. Shehung up without a hello when he picked up the phone. Later, wretched with embarrassment, the friend moaned, “Can you believe me? A thirty-five-year-old lawyer, making a chi cken call?” Together they laughed and made it better.14Buddies seek approval. But friends seek acceptance.15She knew so many men who had been trained in restraint, afraid of each other’s judgment or awkward with each other’s affection. She wasn’t sure which.Like buddies in the movies, they would die for each other, but never hug each other. 16She had reread Babbitt recently, that extraordinary catalogue of male grievances. The only relationship that gave meaning to the claustrophobic life of George Babbitt had been with Paul Riesling. But not once in the tragedy of their lives had one been able to say to the other: You make a difference.17Even now men shocked her at times with their description of friendship. Does this one have a best friend? “Why, of course, we see each other every February.”Does that one call his most intimate pal long distance? “Why, certainly, whenever there’s a real reason.” Do those two old chums ever have dinner together? “You mean alone? Without our wives?”18Yet, things wer e changing. The ideal of intimacy wasn’t this parallel playmate, this teammate, this trenchmate. Not even in Hollywood. In the double standard of friendship, for once the female version was becoming accepted as the general ideal. 19After all, a buddy is a fine life-companion. But one’s friends, as Santayana once wrote, “are that part of the race with which one can be human.”友谊面面观埃伦·古德曼1 从多方面看来，这是一部不足挂齿的小制作电影。

Background information
Friendship is a relationship which involves mutual
knowledge, esteem, and affection. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of putting the other's interests before one's own. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.

Unit 5The Tapestry of FriendshipEllen Goodman友谊面面观埃伦·古德曼1 从多方面看来，这是一部不足挂齿的小制作电影。
平淡无奇。
没有大成本制作的追逐画面，没有血腥的枪战。
故事结尾也没得出什么意味深长的结论。
2 然而她还是觉得克劳迪娅·韦尔的电影《女朋友》温婉动人。
它缓缓地向我们展现了友谊的全貌——它的脆弱、生命力，以及它连接两个年轻女子人生的纽带作用。
3 电影放完了，她回想起这一年看过的几部电影——《茱莉亚》、《转折点》，还有现在这部《女朋友》。
似乎电影作品镜头这一特殊视角已经大大改变了聚焦对象。
一转眼哥俩好的电影已经被反映闺蜜友谊的影片所替代。
4 这并不仅仅是另一场时尚狂欢，而是一种实录电影的潮流。
就这一次电影反映一种转向，不只是从男性转向女性，而是从友谊的一种定义转为另一种定义。
5 纵观数百万英里长的电影胶片，友谊的理想主角总是男性——满世界都是类似布奇·卡西迪斯及其铁哥们山丹思·基德斯这样的密友、同伴的故事。
这些形影不离的银幕形象似乎是来自远古社会——故事情节好像是制片人从诠释男性间密切关系的人类学通俗读物里选取出来似的。
影片诠释了一个观点，即只有男性——那些猎人和海明威式硬汉的传人——才继承了对于友谊的原始的能力。
相反，女人们总是被描绘成互相挑刺，就好像她们从前挑选浆果那样。
6 哦，那种两面性在OK牧场枪战中一定已经受了致命的枪伤了。
现在，在银幕上，他们至少意识到男人作为哥们、女人作为闺蜜的微妙区别。
7 大约150年前，柯勒律治写道：“比起男性，女性的友谊更接近爱恋。
男性之间相互影响体现在崇高或友善的举动中，而女性不需要这么多实实在在的例证，却需要更多依恋之情的外在表露。
”8 好吧，她想，总体来说，男人有哥们，女人有闺蜜。
哥们相互关联，闺蜜互相喜爱。
哥们共同面对逆境，但闺蜜直面彼此。
显然，两者共度时光的方式互不相同。

Men’s Friendships Unlike women, men are typically socialized by society to be less social and have more difficulty with friendships; they are often raised to compete with other men and not cooperate with them, to hide their vulnerabilities and not share their inner experiences. However, like women, men can benefit from the social bonds of friendship. The great friendships recorded in history have been between men, and friendships among men have often been romanticized and idealized. Men’s friendships have typically been described in terms of bravery and physical sacrifice in providing assistance to others. Despite this historical romanticization of the

Unit5 THE TAPESTRY OF FRIENDSHIP
Detailed reading
What is the fundamental difference between buddies and friends? (paragraphs 7－18) Buddies are men’s companions; they are connected by common activities. Friends, in the narrow sense in the text, are women’s companions; they are associated by emotional attachment. Without shared activities, there would be no buddies for men; without love there would be no true friends for women.

Friendship between Men and Women There is much debate about the possibilities of male and female friendships. Much of this debate has had to do with the idea that sexual attraction will prevent men and women from forming a strong platonic bond. There can be many challenges to female-male friendships. For instance, in a society where men have typically had more power and dominance, equality can be an issue. Both genders may benefit from these interactions: Men may learn more about sharing and establishing emotional support, while women might enjoy interactions that are less emotionally challenging.
