I love Allen like a brother and except for the times when we’re debating on the court, we’re great friends. It doesn’t necessarily mean that we share the same interests, same CDs, same cloths, etc. A friend doesn’t have to be perfect. We get along well with each other because we both say what’s on our minds. Of course, we disagree from time to time. It’s necessary for friends to disagree since a helpful discussion enlightens our minds. We don’t have to keep peace all the time. But as a necessity, we should respect each other as a person.
我像爱兄弟一样地爱着艾伦，除了我们在法庭上辩论的之外，我们是好朋友。这并不意味着我们有共同的利益，分享同样的CD、同样的衣服等等。朋友不必是完美的。我们相处得很好，因为我们都能说出心里的感受。当然，我们有时候也会意见不合。朋友之间意见不合是必要的，因为一场有益的讨论可以启迪我们的思维。我们不必总是和平相处。但是我们必须把彼此当做人那样来尊重。
