大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【朋友】的话题。
提到朋友，很多人会第一时间想到美剧Friends，中文是《老友记》。这是一部陪伴很多人青春的经典美剧，很多中国人通过看《老友记》学习英语。我记得上大学的时候，大家经常在宿舍看美剧，其中《老友记》是最受欢迎的。我们喜欢它，是因为我们羡慕他们那样珍贵的友情和爱情。
在中国有一首关于友情的歌，很多人去KTV都会唱。那就是《朋友》，我们来听一下吧。
《朋友》
朋友一生一起走，那些日子不再有
一句话，一辈子
一生情，一杯酒
朋友不曾孤单过，一声朋友你会懂
还有伤，还有痛
还要走，还有我

朋友是我们生命中很重要的存在，在中文里面有很多关于朋友的古话。“在家靠父母，出门靠朋友。”意思是我们在家里的时候有父母照顾我们，我们可以依靠父母。我们离开家的时候，有朋友帮助，我们可以依靠朋友。
小时候，我们会在给朋友的卡片上写“友谊天长地久”，希望我们的友谊永远都在。长大后我们发现，不是所有的友谊都能天长地久。因为人是会变的，可能我们生活的环境不一样了，可能我们的想法不一样了。不管怎么样，我们都应该好好珍惜每一段友谊。
你最好的朋友是谁呢？你们认识多久了？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

UN ERROR*-fe de erratas. Lo siento, en el episodio digo que Jesús nació el 25 de enero, pero es un error, quería decir el 25 de diciembre, Navidad.
