写作思路：根据题目要求，以我从朋友那里学到了什么作为主题，详细的描述自己的心声，最后进行总结。正文：
If half of the material civilization in the United States is attributed to Edison, the discoverer, half of the energy culture in the United States is attributed to Emerson, the thinker. This is, of course, exaggeration. However, historians of thought think that the thinkers representing the American spirit actually started from Emerson.
假如说，美国有一半的物资文明，要归功于发现家爱迪生，那么，美国有一半的精力文化，就要归功于思惟家爱默生。这当然是夸大。不外思想史家以为，代表美国精神的思想家，确切是从爱默生开端的。
Few Americans Write "compositions" without using Emerson's. It is said that Emerson always asks a question when he meets his friends: "what have you made clear since we last met?" This brief question includes a lot of learning principles.
美国人写“作文”，很少有不援用爱默生的。据说，爱默生跟朋友见面，老是问这么一个问题：“自从我们上次见面，你又搞清楚了什么？”这个简略的问题，包括了很多学习的大道理。
First, learning is hard. It takes time to figure out a problem. Emerson's period, traffic inconvenience, meet with friends, assuming that every two or three months. The assumption of Emerson's question is that it takes a person two or three months to figure out at most two or three questions, so that they are worth asking and can be answered. If a person can figure out one problem every day, he can figure out 60 to 90 problems in two or three months. It's not worth asking, it's not worth answering.
第一，学习是艰苦的。搞清楚一个问题，须要时间。爱默生的时期，交通不便，跟朋友见面，假设两三个月一次。爱默生的问题的假设，就是一个人用两三个月的时间，最多搞清楚两三个问题，所以才值得问，而且才可以答。如果一个人天天都能搞清楚一个问题，那么两三个月就能搞清楚60到90个问题。这就既不值得问，也没法答复了。
Second, learning is necessary. It's necessary to learn how to think, just as oxygen is necessary for people's body. This is another hypothesis that Emerson asked this question: in two or three months, one should understand one or two questions. Otherwise, Emerson would ask this question: "since our last meeting, which delicious restaurant have you invented? "Fun KTV?"
第二，学习是必需的。学习对人的思维，就像氧气对人的身材一样，是必须的。这是爱默生问这个问题的另一个假设：就是一个人用两三个月的时光，应当搞明白了一两个问题。不然，爱默生就问这样的问题了：“自从咱们上次会晤，你又发明了哪家好吃的餐馆？好玩的KTV？”
Third, learning is about speaking. Say it, not just to tell others what you've learned. In fact, it is a learning process. It can help us think more clearly. Drucker, the great master of governance, said: "I learn by listening - listening to myself." Of course, it's OK to write it. The novelist Faulkner said, "I read what I said, and then I know what I think."
第三，学习是要说出来的。说出来，不仅仅是告知别人你学到了什么。实际上，说自身就是一个学习的进程。说，可以辅助我们想得更清楚。治理巨匠德鲁克说：“我通过倾听学习——倾听我自己。”当然，写出来也可以，小说家福克纳就说：“我读到我说了什么，才晓得我想的是什么。”
Howard Gardner, a famous psychologist, told me that he would give a report and said, "I'm curious about what I'm going to say." This is an example: the process of speaking is not the printing process of the printer, the thought has been fixed, but more like the writing process of a calligrapher, which is a part of the creation of the thought.
有名心理学家霍华德·加德纳跟我谈到他将做一个报告，说：“我自己对我会讲些什么都充斥好奇。”这就是一个例子：讲的过程，不是打印机的打印过程，思想已经固定，而更像是书法家的书写过程，是思想的创作的一局部。
I have a best friend. We met at school. We`re in the same grade. He`s a diligent student. He`s very hardworking. I learn a lot from him. He helps me with math. I help him with English. We`re a good study team. He`s honest and reliable. I trust him completely. We share secrets all the time. He`s loyal and brave. Once a bully teased me. He came to my rescue right away. He`s considerate and polite. He makes me little gifts. He always remembers my birthday. He is fun to be with. He tells funny jokes. His stories make me laugh. He`s a good listener. He knows when I`m blue. He picks me up when I`m down. He`s one of a kind. We`ll stay friends forever. I hope you have a friend like mine.
我有一个最好的朋友。我们在学校认识之后。我们在同一个年级。他是一个勤奋的学生。他很勤劳。我从他那里学到很多东西。他帮助我做数学。我帮助他与英语。我们是一个良好的学习小组。他的诚实和可靠。我完全信任他。我们分享内心的秘密。他的忠诚和勇敢。一旦一个欺负嘲笑我。他拯救了我吧。他很体贴周到,彬彬有礼的。他使我的小礼物。他总是记得我的生日。与他相处很有趣。他讲有趣的笑话。他的故事使我发笑。他是一个很好的听众。他知道当我蓝色的。他往我,当我下来。他是其中一种。我们就会留在永远的朋友。我希望你有一个朋友和我的一样。
