There’s no doubt that false friends – i.e. words or expressions that have similar forms to the ones in a person’s native language, but different meanings – can be a majorminefield for language students.
如果你在学一门外语,早些时候你可能经历过这种情况:因碰到一个貌似熟悉的单词而全然兴奋,却发现它实际的含义跟你预料中的迥然不同。毫无疑问,假朋友,如在一个人的母语中有类似形式却有不同含义的单词或词组,对学语言的学生而言可能是主要的雷区。
