Proverb: On a journey a companion is useful; in life, sympathy and compassion between people matter.
昔から『旅は道連れ世は情け』と言われるように、困ったときは人の助けがありがたい。
As the proverb goes, 'On a journey a companion; in life, sympathy' — help from others is appreciated in hard times.
彼は一人で行くと言ったが、私は『旅は道連れ世は情け』だと思って一緒に行った。
He said he'd go alone, but I thought 'a journey needs a companion' and went with him.
