　　5.有位朋友告诉我，在她的眼里，友谊比婚姻更宝贵。

　　6.我认为友谊与婚姻从某种意义上讲非常相似，因为婚姻首先就应该是从友谊起步，是男女之间友谊的最高境界，但不是最后的终点。

　　to get started from friendship and is thus the highest level of friendship but not the finishing

　　line.

　　could they replace the husband-wife relation.

　　11.一提起友谊，我们总有没完没了的话可说，因为我们的朋友常常给我们带来无尽的欢乐。

　　Talking about friendship, we all have much to say because our friends always bring us

　　endless joys and happiness.

　　12.有些人喜欢结交性格、爱好与自己相似的人，但也有人喜欢结交与自己非常不同的人，这些其实都不重要。

　　Some people choose friends who are different from themselves while others would like to

　　have friends who are similar to themselves. This is, in fact, not important.

　　13.不管我们选择什么样的人做朋友，最重要的一点是大家要彼此真诚相待，相互帮助，相互关心，相互进步。

　　No matter what kind of friends we choose, the most important thing is that we should treat

　　each other with sincerity, help each other, care about each other, and make progress together.
