内容简介

你曾经有过 “an visible friend（看不见的朋友）” 吗？别害怕！这个短语其实指的是 “孩子们想象出来的玩伴”。其实，单词 “friend” 不单单指我们生活中的朋友，还可以指其他和我们关系好的对象。比如，“man's best friend（人类最好的朋友）” 指的其实就是 “dog（狗）”。看视频，跟主持人 Beth 学习四个包含单词 “friend” 的短语。

用法总结

1. “man's best friend” 狗，人类最好的朋友

2. “an invisible friend” 想象中的朋友，看不见的朋友

3. “a family friend” 世交，家族好友
