新友与旧友
New Friends and Old Friends
结交新友，但与旧友保持亲近；
新交是白银，旧友是黃金。
新交的朋友，如同新酒，
要经过时间才渐更溫醇。
经得起时间和环境改变—
考验出友谊最真确完满；
额头生皱纹，头发变白；
友谊绝不会成为朽坏。
因为老朋友，考验过而真纯，
我们会再恢复到青春。
但老朋友们，哀哉！难免丧亡；
新朋友必须把他们的缺补上。
你心怀內总要珍视友谊—
新朋友是好，但旧交是最美无比；
结交新友，但与旧友保持亲近；
新交是白银，旧友是黃金。
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test—
Time and change—are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray;
Friendship never knows decay.
For ‘mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! May die;
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast—
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
