You don’t need to a lot of them as long as they’re good. 朋友不在多而贵在好。 此句中“ long” 为副词 ， 与 as…as… 构成一个固定搭配 as long as, 用来连接句 子，表示 “ 只要 ……” 。 又如： We can talk about this as long as you want. 只要你想谈，我们就可以谈谈这事。 It’s fine as long as you’re happy. 只要你高兴就好。 8. I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. “ if ” 译为“ 是否 ” 而非“ 如果”。 If 后 所引导的句子是主句 I don’t really care 的 谓语动词 care 的宾语， 故称作“ 宾语从句” I don’t care if he likes or not-I’m coming. 我不管他喜欢不喜欢 —— 我会来的！ Can you tell me if I’m right, Mr.. Green? 格林先生， 您能告诉我我是正确的吗？ 9. A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart . 一个真正的朋友 是在需要时给你帮助，使你感动。 此句中“ hand” 引申为“ 帮助， 援助”； “ heart” 则为“情感；感受” 例如： Can you give me a hand? 你能他帮我一把吗 ?
