1．The key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other's faults. (Para. 2)
句中的key是名词，表示“关键”的意思。注意：“……的关键”应当是：key to。例如：
1）This is the key to a better life. 这就是生活更加美好的关键。 Review not only … but (also)
2．If one person feels edgy around the person, then something isn't quite right. (Para. 4)
feel edgy around sb.意为“和某人在一起感到担忧，和某人在一起感到焦躁不安” 。例如：
1）I have never felt edgy around her. 和她在一起，我从来没有感觉到担忧。 3．They have little angry moments but what's done is done and all that they should do is to forgive and forget. (Para. 5)
what’s done是主语从句，关系代词what表示“the thing that”的意思。例如： 1）What you said is quite right. 你的话真对。
that they should do是定语从句，其所修饰的先行词是all。当定语从句所修饰的先行词是不定代词all的时候，定语从句中的关系代词应当使用that来表示事、抽象概念或人。例如：
1）All that you talked about is quite new to us. 你的话对我们来说真是前所未闻。
4．Why do we let something that happened in the past ruin what happiness you could have in the future? (Para. 5)
something that happened in the past是谓语动词let的宾语，其中that happened in the past是something的定语从句。当定语从句的先行词是不定代词something的时候，定语从句中的关系代词应当使用that。例如： 1）I can understand something that you are talking about. 我理解你正在谈论的有些事情。
ruin是谓语let的宾语something that happened in the past的补语。let 可以跟动词原形作其宾语补语。例如：
1）Please let me say something about it. 请让我对此发表我的观点。
what happiness you could have是动词ruin的宾语从句，其中what是用来修饰名词happiness的。
1）I would like to know what book are you reading. 我想知道你正在看什么书。
5．Friends are those who are always interesting, and always interested. (Para. 8)
6

who … interested是定语从句, 修饰those。例如： 1）Those who disagree can raise your hands. 那些不同意的人可以举手示意。
interesting意为“令人感兴趣的”，而interested则意为“感到有趣的”。例如： 1） This TV show is interesting. 这个电视秀有趣。
2） I’m interested in this TV show. 我对这个电视秀感兴趣。
6．They stick with you, and stick up for you. (Para. 8)
stick with sb. 和stick up for是两个不同的词组，分别表示：“跟……在一起，忠于”和“支持，维护，为……辩护”的意思。例如： 1）I would like to stick with Awei since then. 从那时以来，我就想跟阿薇在一起。
2) No one can stick up for you all the time. 没人能够一直支持你。
7．Positive problem solving is considered essential. (Para. 10)
consider可以跟形容词作其宾语补语，当consider用作被动语态时，其原先的宾语补语便成了主语补语。试比较： 1）I consider it easy.
我认为这不难。（宾语补语） 2) It is considered easy.
这被认为是不难的。（主语补语）

◆ Language Focus 1．Chinese people seem to expect their friendships to stay the same over a long period of time, maybe for a lifetime. (Para. 1)
stay the same意为“”一直这样。stay可用作半系动词，表示“一直是”或“依然是”的意思。例如：
1）It’s going to stay cold for the next few days. 接下来几天，天还会冷的。
maybe for a lifetime 是省略句，完整的部分应当是：maybe stay the same for a lifetime.
2．However, in the United States a person is likely to change even “best friends” several times over the years. (Para. 1)
be likely to是常用句型，表示“有可能”的意思。例如： 1）She is likely to marry him. 她有可能会嫁给他的。
over the years意为“”几年中。介词over可用来表示“过去一段时间里”的意思。例如：
1）We’ve made great success over the past ten years. 过去十年中，我们已经取得了很大的成功。
3．I think the reason is that friendship, like so many other relationships in the United

States including marriage, depends on frequent interaction with the other person. (Para.1)
that …person是表语从句。表语从句中应当使用连词that，而不是关系代词which。例如：
1）The mother’s dream is that her daughter can make her dream come true. 母亲的梦想就是她女儿能实现她的梦想。
4． Chinese friends give each other money and might help each other out financially over a long period of time, but this is rarely part of Western friendships. (Para. 2) help sb. out是固定词组，表示“帮助某人摆脱困难”的意思。例如： 1) I’ll help you out if you haven’t got time to finish it. 如果你没时间完成工作，我可以帮你忙。 rarely是含有否定意义的副词。例如： 1） He rarely visits me. 他很少来看我。
5．A Westerner will respond to a friend’s trouble by asking, “What do you want to do?” (Para. 3)
by doing sth. 是行为方式状语，表示“通过（做）……”的意思。例如： 1) He attracted others by dressing himself in funny clothes. 他靠奇装异服来吸引别人。
6．As we have seen Chinese codes of etiquette require more formal and polite interactions with strangers or guests than is typical in the West, but in China
relationships with friends are much more informal than similar Western relationships. (Para. 4)
As we have seen是状语从句，表示“正如我们所看见的一样”的意思。连词as可用来引导状语从句。例如：
1）As we have seen, he has made great progress.
正如我们所看见的一样，他取得了很大的进步。 2）As you have seen, he is not cautious about his work. 正如你所看见的一样，他工作马马虎虎。
more...than用于比较级句型，其中连词than引导状语从句。如果状语从句中的主语是主句中的主语，状语从句中的主语则可以省去。例如： 1）The work is progressing more rapidly than was expected. 工作进展得比预料的要快。 2） He’s got more than is needed.
他所得到的已经超过了所需要的。 relationships with friends是并列句的主语；副词much修饰more formal以加强语气。
7． Even in close friendships Americans use polite forms such as “could you…” and “would you mind…”, but Chinese do not use these polite forms, even when speaking English with Westerners they know well. (Para. 5)
they know well是定语从句，其中省去了关系代词whom。whom在定语从句中作宾语，通常可以省去。例如：
1）Yesterday I saw the man (whom) you got angry with. 我昨天看到了你所生气的那个人。
