答案

斯帝芬和汤姆在一所美国大学的历史课上初次相遇.汤姆是一名从韩国来的跨国学生.他想更多的了解美国文化,并且希望他与斯帝芬能成为好朋友.斯帝芬非常友好.他总在课前向汤姆友好地打招呼.他还邀请汤姆与他一起吃午餐.但是当学期结束后,斯帝芬似乎开始生分.在学校,这两位曾经的同班同学很少相见.一天,汤姆决定打电话给斯帝芬.斯帝芬却不怎么想与汤姆说话.汤姆因斯帝芬的改变而伤心.“斯帝芬曾说过我们是朋友.”汤姆说道,“我以为朋友永远是朋友.”作为一个外国人,他无法理解美国人对朋友的表达方式.美国人普遍地使用着“朋友”这个词.这类友情是建立在共同的兴趣上的.当彼此共有的兴趣活动结束时,友情也可能跟着消失.现在由于斯帝芬和汤姆不再是同班同学,他们的“友情”也就改变了.
