本句為主從復合句。句中As引導原因狀語從句，對應的主句中，thatwecanenjoy為that引導的定語從句，修飾先行詞benefitsoffriendship，that在定語從句中作enjoy的賓語。Thefirstfruitoffriendshipisthepeacethatcomesfromsharingwithfriendsourjoy,sadness,successandfailure.Here,friendshiphasadoubleadvantage—happinesstakesonagreatermeaningandatroublesharedbecomesatroublehalved!Naturally,thiskindofopennessresultsfromaclosefriendship.Withtruefriends,wefeelfreetoshareourjoyandsadnessinfullmeasure.Weknowthatourfriendswillbothrespectourfeelingsandtreasurethesemomentsofcloseness.Indeed,thehumanheartdependsonsuchopportunitiesforcomfortandprotection.友誼的第一個成果是和平，和平來自與朋友分享我們的快樂、悲傷、成功和失敗。在這里，友誼具有雙重優勢——幸福具有更大的意義，分擔的煩惱減半！當然，這種開放性來自親密的友誼。有了真正的朋友，我們可以盡情地分享我們的快樂和悲傷。我們知道我們的朋友不僅會尊重我們的感情，而且會珍惜這些親密時光。事實上，人的內心依賴這樣的安慰和保護機會。Para.3:Detailedexplanationofthefruits—thepeaceThesecondfruitoffriendshipisthebetterunderstandingandjudgementthatmaybeachievedthroughconversationswithwell-meaningandwisefriends.Weoftenfinditeasiertorecognizeotherpeople’sweaknessesthanourown.Asaresult,ifweareguidedonlybyourownfeelings,ourjudgementsmightbeone-sided.Ontheotherhand,ourfriendsarebetterabletoofferadviceonimportantdecisionsthatweallhavetomake.Also,whenwewanttotalkourproblemsoverwithafriend,wehavetoputourthoughtsintowordsfirst.Thisalonehelpsmakeourthoughtsclearerandbringsusamorethoroughunderstandingofourproblems.Para.4:Detailedexplanationofthefruits—thebetterunderstandingandjudgement友誼的第二個成果是通過與善意的、智慧的朋友交談，可能會獲得的更好的理解和判斷。我們常常發現，認識別人的弱點比認識自己的弱點容易。因此，如果我們只被自己的感情所支配，我們的判斷就可能是片面的。另一方面，我們的朋友能更好地為我們都必須做出的重要決定提供建議。此外，當我們想和朋友詳談我們的問題時，我們必須先把自己的想法用言語表達出來。只有這樣才能使我們的想法更加清晰，使我們對自己的問題了解得更加透徹。Thethirdfruitoffriendshipisthehelpthatafriendmayofferinmanydifferentways.Sometimesafriendisevenknownasour“secondself”.Therearesomanythingsinlifethatcanonlybeachievedwiththehelpoffriends.Friendsmayhavemanydifferentideasandskills.Theycanhelpusachievewhatwewantduringlifeand,perhaps,evenafterdeath.Para.5:Detailedexplanationofthefruits—thehelp友誼的第三個成果是朋友可能用許多不同的方式提供的幫助。有時朋友甚至被稱為我們的“第二個自己”。生活中有很多事情只有在朋友的幫助下才能實現。朋友可能有很多不同的想法和技能。他們可以幫助我們獲得我們在生命中，可能甚至死后想要的東西。本句為主從復合句，句中whatwewantduringlifeand,perhaps,evenafterdeath為what引導的賓語從句，作achieve的賓語。Finally,itshouldbepointedoutthatenjoyingthecompanyofacrowdisnotthesameasbeingwithfriends.Friendsshouldbecarefullychosenandrelationshipscarefullydeveloped.Inthisway,wecanbetterwalkthe“pathoflife”withthecomfort,adviceandhelpfromourtrustedfriends.(Adaptedfrom“OfFriendship”,anessaywrittenbyFrancisBacon,agreatEnglishwriter,scientistandphilosopher)Para.6:Conclusion最后，應該指出，與一群人在一起和與朋友在一起，不是一回事。選擇朋友須謹慎，經營友情須用心。這樣，我們就能在信任的朋友的安慰、建議和幫助下更好地走上“人生之路”。（改編自英國偉大的作家、科學家和哲學家弗朗西斯·培根的散文《論友誼》）AcloselookPara.1Para.2Para.3Para.4Para.5Para.6
