Being Alone or Staying with Friends
If I had to choose between spending time alone or spending time with my friends, I’d rather be alone. I need this time alone to “recharge my batteries”, to re-energize my mind and spirit. Being with friends can be fun and can help you get through the rough spots in life, but it’s the time alone, I think, that forms you as a person.
若要在独处和与朋友共处之间做个选择的话，我选择独处。我需要独处的时间来给自己充充电、重新调动起大脑和精神。和朋友们在一起，可以给你带来欢乐，帮助你渡过生活最艰难的时期，但我认为独处才可以塑造自身。
When I’m alone, I have time to think about my goals and to develop a strategy to reach them. Of course, I can think about these things when I’m with others, but it’s harder to concentrate in a crowd. Being alone gives me the quiet time to really think about my life and what I want to do with it.
每当独处的时候，我便有时间可以想想自己的目标，并想好实现目标的策略。诚然，和他人在一起的时候，我也可以考虑这些，但是在人群中，很难集中精力。独处时，就可以静静地思考一下自己的人生，想想自己想要如何去生活。

Being by myself is also a good way to listen to the silence and relax completely. When I’m alone I can practice meditation and lower my stress level. That’s a very good way to sharpen my powers of concentration. Too much time with friends means filling my mind with a lot of chitchats. That’s enjoyable for a moment, but can dull my concentration.
独处，还可以很好的倾听寂静，彻底放松。我可以冥想，放松自己的神经，能够很好地集中自己的注意力。过多地与朋友们在一起，自己回满脑子都是闲聊。聊一段时间确实很开心，但容易使注意力迟钝。
Being with other people can also distort my view of things. It’s easy sometimes to become too worried about what other people think of me, or what other people have that I don’t. When I’m alone I have time to step back. I can see the real value of things, without being influenced by the opinions of my friends.
经常和他人在一起，容易扭曲自己的价值观。很容易去担心别人怎么看自己，或者为别人有而自己却没有的东西费心。自己独处时，便有时间回顾一下过去。不受朋友影响，发现事物的真实价值。
