We just translated the section from Plato's Lysis in Greek class that begins, "Whenever someone loves another, which is the friend of which, the lover or the beloved one?" And we got into this whole discussion of the word "love," and in what sense it was meant in this instance, and ended up trying to translate it with "friend," yielding: "Whenever someone is the friend of another, which is the friend of which, the one who is friending or the one who is friended?"

I, of course, died on the spot.
