Translate the following passage into Chinese. ? 如同在許多歐洲國家一樣，在法國，朋友通常是相同性別的，友誼則基本上被認(rèn)為是男人之間的一種關(guān)系。法國婦女嘲笑“女人不能成為朋友”這種說法，但有時(shí)她們也承認(rèn)，對女人來說，朋友是“另一回事兒”。另外，許多法國人對男女之間是否可能存在友誼表示懷疑。在一個(gè)團(tuán)體中還存在著這樣一種關(guān)系，男女在一起工作了很長一段時(shí)間，他們之間的關(guān)系可能很密切，彼此忠誠，感覺親切。他們可能互稱“ copains‖—— 這個(gè)詞的英文意思是朋友，但卻更接近“老鐵”或“哥們”的含義。在法國人眼里這不是友誼，雖然這種團(tuán)體中的兩個(gè)成員很可能成為朋友。 II.

What’s more, I think that it is much easier for me to write my feelings down to you than trying to speak them out to you. ? 3. Here are a couple of hints for your discussion。 ?
