I have friends both male and female. I love them with the purest friendship, the perfect admiration, I wait for their sincere returns, and I never think of doubting their sincerity.
我有朋友,男女都有。我以最纯洁的友情、最完美的敬意爱着他们,我期待着他们最真实的回报,我甚至根本就不曾想到要对他们的诚意稍加怀疑。

Staying with you, I only think of our incomparable rejoice that our souls blend through God. To me, this is the biggest happiness.
我同你在一起时,只想到我们的灵魂通过神而交融的无比的欣喜,对于我来说,这是最大的欢乐。

Between us, nothing else exists except truth. The polite and popular lies for greeting in society are created for others.
在我们之间,除了真实,别的什么都不可能存在;社会习俗中流行的客套的谎话是为别人造出来的。

False friends are warm outside but cold inside.
假情假义的朋友,表面是温暖的,下面却是冰冷的。

When you are a man of great influence, you will find your friends as many as the hairs on an ox; when dark clould hang heavily over you, you will be left quite alone.
当你有权有势时,你会发现你的朋友多如牛毛;一旦鸟云笼罩你的头顶,你就子然一身了。
——[古罗马]奥维德:《哀怨集》

Those who make us blunder are usually our friends!
那些使我们摔跤的(人)往往是我们的朋友!
