关于朋友的英语谚语有哪些（汇编20篇）

Everyone needs a friend, because we are not the only one in the world. We

need someone to talk to and share our happiness and sorrow. Last night, I saw a

movie, the protagonist’s friend asked him what was a friend, and he gave the

answer that a friend was someone you can talk about your secret and you would

share food with. It is a child’s opinion, and it is simple and real. A friend is

someone who we can trust, we don’t have to hide ourselves and just who we are.

We will feel comfortable with them. When we are in trouble, we will think of

them and they will come to help.

When we have something annoy us, we will naturally to find someone to talk

about it, the first choice is friend. We will not talk about it in front of our

parents, because we don’t want them to worry about us. Friend is so important in

our life, we have many friends, we will share our happiness and sorrow with

them, we hang out together, in a word, friends are part of our life. What will

happened if someone have no friend? We hear from the news that the crime people

are isolated by others, most of them have no friends, their view point about the

world is distorted. Without friends, people have no where to relieve their

emotion, the long time’s depression of the emotion distract people from the

normal life. So friends are very important, we can’t live without friends.

我的朋友My Friend

Zeng Qiao is one of my friends。 She is a beautiful， outgoingand good-tempered girl。 She smiles frequently。 I think it’s her smile that makes her beauty。 We live in the same dormitory， so that we always stay together， no matter going to classroom or having dinners。 At first， I don’t like her very much， because she is always talking。 It seems that she can’t stop open her mouth。 I am a little bit quiet and introverted， so I seldom talk to others。 But gradually， I find that she can have influence on others by what she says。 Zeng Qiao likes sharing interesting things with others。 For example， she likes telling us her funny stories of her childhood or her former classmates。 She always tells me that I should be more extroverted and learn to talk to others。 Under the influence of her， I municate with others more frequently and I find that it feels so great。 I am so grateful that I can have such a good friend。

曾巧是我的一个朋友，她是个漂亮活波，脾气又好的女孩子。她很喜欢笑，我觉得是她的笑容使她看上去漂亮。我们住同一间宿舍，因此不管是去教室还是吃饭都形影不离。之前我并不喜欢她，我认为她太喜欢说话了，总是停不住她的嘴。相反我性格内向，喜欢安静，很少跟别人说话。但是渐渐地，我发现她是个善于用言语影响别人的女孩子，她喜欢跟别人分享搞笑的事，那些童年的故事或是以前同学的事情。她经常开导我要变得外向，多试着跟别人说话。在她的影响下，我跟别人交流也更多了，并且发现这感觉十分好。我觉得有这样的朋友很幸运！

我有一个朋友，她活泼可爱。

她有一双水汪汪的大眼睛，一眨一眨的，犹如两颗小星星。头发短短的，很是可爱，她的眉毛淡淡的，有一个上挺的鼻子和一张樱桃小嘴。

说起这个朋友，我就想起一件她诚实的事情。有一次，她到我家来，这时我正好和另一个朋友玩，见她来了，我们就一起玩跳阶梯，在途中，我们老耍赖，还经常多跳几层台阶……可她从不耍赖，还说：“你们在不诚实，老耍赖，这样不好的，不公平。”我和我朋友很欣赏她的这种精神，也就不再耍赖了。玩了一会儿，我们三人又玩起青菜萝卜汤了，结果我一直输，我央求她给我打轻点，少打几下，可她却说：“为了公平，游戏规则怎么样的，我就怎么样执行，不许耍赖。”事后，我愤怒地对她说：“我不理你了，你对我不好”。但是我又想：“是我做得不对，她是为了公平才这样做的，我不能对她有成见。”所以，我们又和好如初了。

你想知道她是谁吗？她就是我的妹妹，她叫周瑜胡。

I have many friends, but Jim is one of my best friends. He is not handsome,

but kind-hearted. We know each other at primary school. He was the tallest in

our class at that time. He is good at study and playing basketball, while bad at

playing table tennis. Everytime he has delicious food, he will give it to me.

Moreover, whenever I feel sad, he will play with me and comfort me. However, he

is not spoilt me. For example, everytime I meet difficulties in study, I would

like to copy his, but no matter what I say, he never give his homework to me to

copy. Instead he teaches how to do it. All in all, no matter what difficulties I

meet, he will help me. It is him make me realize that a friend in need is a

friend indeed.
