2019年翻译资格考试三级口译练习题：朋友

　　我认为友谊是极其重要的。朋友就像我们的兄弟姐妹，有时甚至更多。我最好的朋友是拉胡尔。我们是在Shimla的一所寄宿学校认识的，当时我们正在第三节课上学习。所以我们都在同一所学校和同一个班级学习。所以我可以说我们从孩提时代就一直是最好的朋友。那时候，我们经常一起去学校，然后回家。我们也经常在星期六和星期天去附近的森林。目前，他正在做他的硕士学位。这些天来，我通过电子邮件与他保持联系，有时我们甚至聊天，偶尔，他会在他有时间的时候给我打电话。

　　他是一个非常努力工作的人，即使现在他在一家面包店做兼职工作，还有他的研究;结果，我非常钦佩他。因为他比我大一岁，他给我提供了很多东西;例如，他是那个告诉我要去上大学的雅思考试的人，并计划在英国学习。

　　我和我最好的朋友分享一切，他也和我分享一切;就像他总是第一个在我生日时祝福我的人;同时，他是我第一个接到更高的次要结果的人。

　　每当我需要他的时候，他都会帮助我;例如，当我姐姐想在美国学习的时候。他安排了她的招股说明书，帮她安排了住处。

　　在我的朋友中，我最喜欢的是他是一个非常简单和直率的人，总是说真话。当我不正确时，他甚至批评我;有一天，当我和我的老师争论时，他直截了当地告诉我，我错了，我应该对此感到抱歉。

　　我们都有相似的爱好。我们俩都喜欢听古老的印地语歌曲，也喜欢吃南印度菜。我们最喜欢的是Kishore kumar，我们非常喜欢吃Dosa。每当他在假期回来的时候，我们肯定会去我们家乡的一家南印度餐馆吃饭，他自己也会很好地烹饪，也会弹很好的吉他。我渴望在他完成学业后回到印度。他向我保证，当他回来的时候，他会给我买一台笔记本电脑。

　　I think friendship is extremely important. Friends are like our brothers and sisters and sometimes more then that. My best friend is Rahul. We met in a boarding school in Shimla when we were studying in 3rd class. So both of us studied in the same school and in the same class. So I can say we have been best friends since our childhood . At that time, we often used to go to school together and return back home. We also used to go to a nearby forest every Saturday and Sunday. Presently, He is doing his M.B.A from U.K. These days I stay in touch with him through emails and sometimes we even chat and once in a while, he calls me when he gets time.

　　He is a very hard working person, even now he is doing a part time job in a bakery along with his studies; as a result, I admire him very much. Since he is one year older to me he advises me about so many things; for instance he is the one who told me to go for IELTS class at Way-Ahead Institute and plan about studying in U.K.

　　I share everything with my best friend and he also shares everything with me; like he is always the first one to wish me on my birthday; also he was the first person I called up as soon as I got my higher secondary result.

　　He helps me whenever I need him; for example’ when my sister wanted to study in U.K he arranged her prospectus and helped her with her accommodation.

　　What I like the most in my friend is that he is very simple and straight forward person and always speaks the truth. He even criticizes me when I am not right; like, when I argued with my teacher one day, he straight away told me that I was wrong and I should feel sorry about it.

　　We both even have similar liking. Both of us like to listen to old Hindi songs and also eat South Indian food. Our favorite is Kishore kumar and we like to eat Dosa very much. Whenever he comes back during his holidays we definitely visit a south Indian Restaurant in our hometown, what more, he is very good cook himself and also plays very good guitar. I am longing to see him as soon as he returns to India after completing his studies. He has promised me that he will get a laptop for me when he returns.
