It is sometimes said that borrowing money from a friend can harm or damage the friendship. Do you agree? Why or why not? Use reasons and specific examples to your answer.
I don't think it's a very good idea to borrow money from a friend. It can cause resentment and awkwardness in the relationship. How do you approach your friend without making him feel he has to do this for you? It's unlikely he'll feel as if he can turn you down. Can be turn you down without insulting you? Probably not.
我不认为向朋友借钱是个好主意。这可能会导致感情中的怨恨和尴尬。你如何接近你的朋友而不让他觉得他必须为你这样做？他不太可能会觉得他能拒绝你。可以拒绝你而不侮辱你吗？可能不行。
How do you know whether your friend can afford to lend you the money? He may be embarrassed to admit he's a little short of funds himself. Or he might not want to disappoint you. So he lends you the money and then he needs money, too.
你怎么知道你的朋友能不能借给你钱？他可能会不好意思承认他自己有点缺钱。或者他不想让你失望。所以他借给你钱，然后他也需要钱。
There's also the question of when you'll pay back the loan. It's awkward for your friend to ask for a deadline for repayment. Besides, if you're short of funds, you may not be able to predict when you'll pay him back. What about interest on the loan? If it's a small amount of money, this doesn't matter. However, if large funds are involved, and you won't be paying it back for a while, should you offer to pay interest? Should your friend ask you to pay interest? All these issues can result in hurt feelings and can harm the friendship.
这也是你什么时候还贷款的问题。对你的朋友来说，要求限期还款是很尴尬的。此外，如果你缺钱，你可能无法预测何时还他。贷款利息呢？如果这是一笔小数目的钱，这无关紧要。然而，如果涉及到大笔资金，而你一时还不起，你是否应该支付利息？你的朋友应该让你付利息吗？所有这些问题都会造成感情上的伤害，也会损害友谊。
It's possible, of course, that if you borrow money from a friend and pay it back in a timely fashion, this will create a special bond between the two of you. You'll know that you can count on your friend when you need help. He'll know you're trustworthy.
当然，有可能的是，如果你向朋友借钱并及时还钱，这会在你们之间建立一种特殊的纽带。当你需要帮助时，你会知道你可以依靠你的朋友。他会知道你是值得信赖的。
However, more often than not, money issues between friends are an embarrassment. If you need money, it' s better to go to a bank for a loan.
然而，朋友之间的金钱问题常常是一种尴尬。如果你需要钱，最好去银行贷款
