[04:01.88]What's a Friend in the True Sense?

[04:04.26]怎样才算真正的朋友?

[04:06.64]If I were asked "Do you have a friend in your life that you would do anything for?"

[04:17.44]a friend is not someone you would do anything for,

[04:20.15]朋友不是一个你愿意为他做任何事的人.

[04:22.87]but someone for whom there are things that you would never do,

[04:25.90]而是一个你永远不会为他做某些事的人.

[04:28.92]not out of spite,but out of love.

[04:31.35]这样做并非出于恶意，却是出于爱。

[04:33.78]One would "do anything" for a master or an idol,

[04:50.77]朋友甚至不是你永远不会伤害的人，

[04:53.65]because sometimes,

[04:55.36]因为有时候.

[04:57.07]in someone or others' words,

[04:59.09]用其他人或者某位贤者的话来说.

[05:01.10]"You gotta be cruel to be kind."

[05:03.32]对他残忍才是为他着想，

[05:05.53]If a friend asked you to conceal a serious problem,would you?

[05:08.75]要是一个朋友要求你帮他隐瞒一个很严重的问题.你会照做吗?

[05:11.98]You shouldn't.

[05:13.51]你不应该这样做

[05:15.04]Friendship is knowing when to exercise judgment and when to silence it.

[05:18.46]友谊是清楚何时该作评论，何时该默不作声。

[05:21.88]There are a few people for whom I would do anything,

[05:24.49]有很多人都能让我愿意为他们做任何事.

[05:27.10]but I would never call myself their friend:

[05:29.47]但我不认为我是他们的朋友.

[05:31.85]perhaps a fan, but never a friend.

[05:34.31]我可能是他们的崇拜者，但绝不是朋友。

[05:36.78]If someone can so rob you of self-respect and self-control,

[05:40.11]如果有人能这样夺走你的自尊心和自控权，
