As I am now eighteen years of age,I have a great many friends. But one of them I like much better than any other. I became acquainted with him when I began to go to school. Since then he and I have been living together for ten years.
我现在十八岁，我有很多的朋友。但其中一个我喜欢比其他要好得多。我结识了他，当我开始上学。自那时以来，我和他在一起生活了十年。
He is a man of a sweet and soft temper, but looks grave and solemn. He sometimes appears very old and sometimes very young and bright, but he is always clever, active, and alert. He is liked by all who know him.
他是一个脾气很温柔的人，但是看起来严肃庄重的。他有时显得很老，有时很年轻漂亮，但他始终是聪明，活跃，和警报。他是所有知道他的人都很喜欢。
He is a learned man. He knows everything and studies nearly all the languages spoken by mankind. Moreover, his memory is extremely remarkable. He remembers whatever has happened in the world. He is also a great teacher. He has taught millions upon millions of young men. Therefore he has been and is known to everybody.

He is my best teacher as well as my best friend. At first he taught me Chinese. When I was fifteen years of age, he began to teach me English and some sciences. This year he not only teaches me the languages mentioned above, but also teaches me a new language called French.
他是我最好的朋友我最好的老师。起初，他教我中文。当我十五岁时，他开始教我英语和一些科学。今年，他不仅教我上面提到的语言，而且还教我学法语。
He is a patient man. Stupid as I am, he is never tired of teaching me. He continues to teach me until I am perfectly familiar with my lessons. But there is one thing which you may be surprised to know. Though I have lived with him a long time, I have never heard his voice. Whenever I ask him questions, he never answers them with his mouth, but shows me the answers on his face.
他是一个有耐心的人。愚蠢的我，他教我从来没有厌倦。他继续教导我，直到我完全熟悉我的教训。但有一件事你可能会惊讶地知道。虽然我与他生活了很长时间，我从来没有听到过他的声音。每当我问他问题，他从来没有回答他的嘴，但在他脸上告诉我答案。
He is not only my best friend, but the best friend of many others. Therefore his name is widely known. I am sure you also know my best friend’s name and love him very much. Do you want me to write out his name? His name is B-O-O-K.
他不仅是我最好的朋友，但许多人最好的朋友。因此，他的名字是众所周知的。我相信你也知道我最好的朋友的名字并且非常爱他。你要我写他的名字?他的名字是b-o-o-k.
