Albert:Like what?

Albert:Don’t forget I’m always here if you need a friend.

Suzanne:Thanks. I know I can always count on you!

向朋友倾诉困难

口语点津

1.I haven't heard from you for a while. 我有一段时间没和你联络了。

hear from 是指“受到某人的消息”,是个相当实用的短语。而for a while在此是指“一段时间”,另外还可解释为“一会儿”,也是个很实用的短语。

[口语拓展]I haven’t seen you for a while. 我有一段时间没看到你了。

I haven’t spoken to you for a while. 我有一段没和你聊聊了。

2.I’m taking care of her. 我现在正在照顾她。

[口语拓展] I’m caring for her. 我现在正在照顾她。

take care of 是一个常用的短语,此处的care是当名称。care 当作动词,则可改用care for..来表示“照顾”。

3.I’ve been feeling really exhausted lately.我最近一直觉得精疲力尽。

[口语拓展] I’ve been feeling really run-down lately. 我最近一直觉得精疲力尽。

run-down 愿意是指:钟表的法条走完的或指电池耗尽的,也可当做“精疲力尽”。

表示很累还可以说:

I’m beat. 我好累。

I’m worn out. 我疲惫不堪。

4.I can always count on you!

你是我信赖的朋友。

[口语拓展] I can always rely on you.

I can always depend on you. 我可以永远信赖你。

Count on ,rely on, depend on 都有“依赖”“依靠”的意思。
