We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to
4、 the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time. For many of us the summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go net only to see new sights
5、but alsoin those places where they do not feel too strangewith the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend. But surely the beginning of a friendship is possible? Surely in every country people value friendship? They do. The difficulty when stranger
6、s from two countries meet is not a lack of appreciation of friendship, butt different expectations about what constitutes friendship and how it comes into being. In those European countries that Americans are most likely to visit, friendship is quite sharply distinguished from other, more casual rel
7、ations, and is differently related to family life. For a Frenchman, a German or an Englishman friendship is usually more particularized and carries a heavier burden of commitment. But as we use the word, “friend“ can be applied to a wide range of relationshipsto someone one has known for a few weeks
8、 in a new place, to a close business associate, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant. There are real differences among these relations for Americansa friendship may be superficial, casual, situational or deep and enduring. But to a European, who sees only our surface be
9、havior, the differences are not clear. As they see it, people known and accepted temporarily, casually, flow in and out of Americans homes with little ceremony and often with little personal commitment. They may be parents of the childrens friends, house guests of neighbors, members of committee, bu
10、siness associates from another town or even another country. Coming as a guest into an American home, the European visitor finds no visible landmarks. The atmosphere is relaxed. Most people, old and young, are called by first names. Who, then, is a friend? Even simple translation from one language t
11、o another is difficult. “You see,“ a Frenchman explains, “if I were to say to you in France. This is my good friend, that person would not be as close to me as someone about whom I said only This is my friend. Anyone about whom I have to say more is really less.“ In France, as in many European count
12、ries, friends generally are of the same sex, and friendship is seen as basically a relationship between men. Frenchwomen laugh at the idea that “women cant be friends,“ but they also admit sometimes that for women “its a different thing.“ And many French people doubt the possibility of a friendship
13、between a man and a woman. There is also the kind of relationship within a groupmen and women who have worked together for a long time, who may be very close, sharing great loyalty and warmth of feeling. They may call one another copainsa word that in English becomes “friends“ but has more the feeli
14、ng of “pals“ or “buddies“. In French eyes this is not friendship, although two members of such a group may well be friends. For the French, friendship is a one-to-one relationship that demands a keen awareness of the other persons intellect, temperament and particular interests. A friend is someone
15、who draws out your own best qualities, with whom you sparkle and become more of whatever the friendship draws upon. Your political philosophy assumes more depth, appreciation of a play becomes sharper, taste in food or wine is accentuated, enjoyment of a sport is intensified. And French friendship a
16、re compartmentalized. A man may play chess with a friend for thirty years without knowing his political opinions, or he may talk politics with him for as long a time without knowing about his personal life. Different friends fill different niches in each persons life. These friendship are not made p
17、art of family life. A friend is not expected to spend evenings being nice to children or courteous to a deaf grand-mother. These duties, also serious and enjoined, are primarily for relatives. Men who are friends may meet in a cafe. Intellectual friends may meet in larger groups for evenings of conv
18、ersation. Working people may meet at the little bistro where they drink and talk, far from the family. Marriage does not affect such friendships; wives do not have to be taken into account. In the past in France, friendships of this kind seldom were open to any but intellectual women. Since most wom
19、ens lives centered on their homes, their warmest relations with other women often went back to their girlhood. The special relationship of friendship is based on what the French value moston the mind, on compatibility of outlook, on vivid awareness of some chosen area of life. Friendship heightens t
20、he sense of each persons individuality. Other relationships commanding as great loyalty and devotion have a different meaning. In World War I1 the first resistance groups formed in Paris were built on the foundation of Les copains. But significantly, as time went on these little groups, whose lives
21、rested in one anothers hands, called them selves “families“. Where each had a total responsibility for all, it was kinship ties that provided the model. And even to day such ties, crossing every line of class and personal interest, remain binding on the survivors of these small, secret bands. In Ger
22、many, in contrast with France, friendship is much more articulately a matter of feeling. Adolescents, boys and girls, form deeply sentimental attachments, walk and talk together-not so much to polish their wits as to share their hopes and fears and dreams, to form a common front against the world of
23、 school and family and to join in a kind of mutual discovery of each others and their own inner life. Within the family, the closest relationship over a lifetime is between brothers and sisters. Outside the family, men and woman find in their closest friends of the same sex the devotion of a sister,
24、 the loyalty of a brother. Appropriately, in Germany friends usually are brought into the family. Children call their fathers and their mothers friends “uncle“ and “ aunt“. Between French friends, who have chosen each other for the agreement of their point of view, lively disagreement and sharpness
