輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第92期:患難見真情

核心句型：
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
患難見真情。
A friend in need is a friend indeed.這則諺語源自古羅馬詩人、劇作家昆塔斯·恩尼烏斯的作品，直譯成漢語即：“在最需要幫助的時候幫助你的人才是真正的朋友”，也就是說：“患難見真情”。因此，當美國人說"A friend in need is a friend indeed."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"A friend who can give a hand when you're in trouble is a true friend."、"Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends."。
