练习 1
Bruno writes that Horatio is one of his "closest" friends. This means that Horatio is one of Bruno's friends.
Bruno writes that Horatio is one of his "closest" friends. This means that Horatio is one of Bruno's best friends.
best: One's "closest friend" is their best friend. The term "close" is often used to indicate proximity in terms of distance, however here it describes the proximity of a friendship.
oldest: Although it may be true that Horatio and Bruno have been friends for a long time, to say that someone is one of your "closest" friends does not necessarily indicate that the friendship has lasted a long time. The word close has a qualitative sense here, not a quantitative one.
strangest: "Closest" does not indicate that someone is "strange".
strongest: Horatio and Bruno may indeed have a "strong" friendship, but to say that someone is a "strong friend" indicates that they are powerful physically.
opinionated: Do not confuse "close" with "close-minded", which suggests that someone is not receptive to new ideas.
