（单词翻译）

Yang Li: Welcome to Authentic¹ Real English. I'm Yang Li.

Diarmuid: And I'm Diarmuid. You know Li, it was so nice to meet your friends last night.

Yang Li: Oh, you liked meeting them? 穆达是在说我们昨天晚上的聚餐，他在餐桌上认识了我的许多朋友。

Diarmuid: Yeah, they're really cool. I've 'friended' them already.

Yang Li: You've friended… you mean you've become friends with them?

Diarmuid: Well yes, we've become friends. But I also friended them.

Yang Li: Eh? Not sure I know what you mean.

Diarmuid: Well Li, I'm sure you know about social networking sites like Facebook, Bebo and Qzone?

Yang Li: Oh, social networking sites 社交网络。

Diarmuid: When you add someone to your friends list, you can say you add them, or simply friend them.

Yang Li: 在使用这些社交网络时如果你把某人的名字加到你的朋友名单里，加 add，那么你就便和这些人结识了 friend them 这里的 friend 是动词。

Examples

A: That Michael has so many Facebook friends.

B: I know, he just friends everyone he meets. He doesn't have any real friends.

Yang Li: 就像汉语新词一样，英语中的许多新词语也都是从互联网上来的。

Diarmuid: It is indeed. It can be quite hard to keep up with all the changes!

Yang Li: 没错，要随时跟上互联网新词新语的动态可不是一件容易的事儿！

Diarmuid: Try surfing the web² in English instead of Chinese sometimes – you'll find lots of interesting words that you should be able to guess from their context³.

Yang Li: 是的，如果你经常使用汉语上网浏览，那么在遇到英语网络词汇的时候，你基本上可以根据上下文来判断词义。

Yang Li: Bye for now.

Diarmuid: Bye.
