核心句型:
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
患难见真情。
A friend in need is a friend indeed.这则谚语源自古罗马诗人、剧作家昆塔斯·恩尼乌斯的作品,直译成汉语即:“在最需要帮助的时候帮助你的人才是真正的朋友”,也就是说:“患难见真情”。因此,当美国人说"A friend in need is a friend indeed."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"A friend who can give a hand when you're in trouble is a true friend."、"Misfortune tests the sincerity 1 of friends."。
情景对白:
