In the situation comedy, different actions reflect the internal state, and reveal their value towards friendship. To the Americans, value of friendship has such characteristics such as tolerance, individualism and realism. For example, in the first episode, Rachel asked Monica who has not seen for years for help after escaping from her wedding, but Monica is very angry for not being invited to her wedding. Then, Monica chooses to forgive her and helps her live an independent life. Besides, nearly all things that could ruin their friendship had happened to them. Chandler has date Joey’ s girlfriend but Joey chooses to forgive him and perfects them. Rachel stole Monica’s boyfriend. Monica and Phoebe fall in love with a handsome man on the street at first sight. Phoebe and Monica quarrel with each other and try to take the charming man as their own boyfriend. Joey have dated phoebe’s twin sister Ursula who don't get along with her well, which annoyed her. After phoebe knew her sister decided to break up with Joey, however ,phoebe act as her sister and try to comfort him. For Chinese，it is not be forgiven. By this token, tolerance have been an important factor for Americans to maintain friendship. Form the first season to the last season, there are many times six old friends having a dinner together. Rachel , Joey and phoebe, their economic condition is not better than other old friends, but still paid their own part even their economic condition is not better than other old friends In the second season, chandler have planed to celebrate Ross’s birthday, then, he ask others to buy concert tickets, cakes and gifts. Rachel ,Joey and Phoebe cannot bear the big bill of party time and again. They speak directly to the other friends in the dinner, and get others’ understanding. Even though other old friends hope to help them for a good time. They are unhappy because they think what the other three friends have done can be regarded as charity and make them fell tiny. The basis of American friendship is equality, individual independence and mutual respect. Even if the six old friends are intimacy, they knew that they must be independent, equal, mutual respect and think that it is impossible for them to rely on friends all the time, moreover, in the six season, chandler want to move out of Joey’s apartment so that he could live with Monica in her grandma’s apartment, but Joey is unable to pay the whole rent by himself so that chandler mean to lose money with a game to Joey in order to avoid hurting Joey’s self-esteem. It is a good example for that mutual respect of American friendship. Those examples indicates their respect to friend and are also to convey us that individualism play an vital important role in American culture. Views on friendship are no exception. Contrary to the Chinese friendship, Chu xiuli (2008 69-70) views the Chinese friendship that Confucianism constrain the relationship of friend to a high degree and this thought make people be afraid of pointing out others’ shortcoming, which becomes the barrier for the development of friendship. Except all mentioned above, the purpose of making friends. For example, when Joey move out of the apartment in which chandler live together, chandler found a new roommate Addie , but found it unsuitable by virtue of the different living habits and hobby. For the American, it is easy to establish relationship but it is very hard to maintain a long term friend relationship. However, American’s view have been influenced by realism and pragmatism, the purpose will relate to many factors such as family background, educational background, interest relationship, affective interaction and so forth. Contrary to the purpose that Chinese make friends, the purpose show more simple . The basis of Chinese making friends is common language and interests. The purpose of American making friends is more complex than the Chinese. There is an old saying “It’s not important what you know，but who you know”. From this perspective of time, American friendship will disappear gradually as time goes by, for example, when Monica and Rachel were in senior high school, they are good friends but they are seldom being together after graduation even if Monica was not been invited to Rachel’s wedding. The passion for friends American cherish will transfer to someone else soon, therefore, the friendship will disappear soon if they do not link each other after a period of time. For both countries, the time of friendship lasting is totally different. For Chinese, the time friendship lasting is more stable even for whole life. What’s more, it is different for both countries to develop and maintain the friendship, Chinese pay more attention for making friends. As the old saying goes, “It’s better o be alone than in bad company”, “poverty tries friend”, “A friend to all is a friend to none” and so forth. By contrast, it is easier to establish a new friend relationship, meanwhile, it is also easy to give up. For instance, in the friends, in the central park , they often making friends with a cup of coffee or cookies.
