1) Friends are like hedgehogs. （朋友之间象刺猬。）
2) In the winter, hedgehogs gather together to keep themselves warm.（冬天时，此为得为在一起取暖。）
3) However, the always encounter this problem: If they stick too close together, they will prick each other and get hurt. If they stay a bit further away, they will freeze. （不过，他们总遇到一个问题。靠得太近，会刺到对方，离得太远又取不到暖。）
4) In real life, this is just like friends. Being too close together may cause annoyance and eventually may end up in disagreement. On the other hand, always keeping quiet will cause relationship to weaken. （这就向现实生活中的我们。与朋友靠得太近，会让朋友喘不过气，觉得厌烦。与朋友离得太远，感情回转淡。）
5) Therefore, we should be close, yet giving each other enough space to move about and breathe. Like hedgehogs gathering together, close enough to keep warm yet far enough to prevent each other from getting hurt. （所以，我们应给予朋友足够的活动空间，但同时部疏远。有如刺猬们搞在一起，即取得到暖，也不会伤害对方。）
