“患难见真情”，意思是指只有经过共同的患难才能看出自己的知心朋友，与英文谚语“A friend in need is a friend indeed”意思相同，表示“A true friend is a person who will help you when you really need help.”

例句：

我脚踝骨折时，米歇尔在医院陪我。患难见真情。

Michelle stayed with me in the hospital when I broke my ankle. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

我将永远感激汤姆对我的帮助，患难见真情！

I'll always be grateful to Tom for helping me; a friend in need is a friend indeed!
