“交男朋友”不能说make a boyfriend!
如果你对外国人说
I want to make a boyfriend.
他们一定以为你疯了!
你以为是说:我想交一个男朋友!
实际上是说:我想制造一个男朋友!
(厉害了, 妈妈再也不用担心你的终身大事了~~)
正确表达:
get a boyfriend: 交男朋友(最常用,最地道)She wants to know how to get a boyfriend.她想知道怎么能找一个男朋友.find a boyfriend: 找男朋友She wants to find a boyfriend.她想找个男朋友.look for a boyfriend: 找男朋友I'm looking for a boyfriend.我正在找男朋友呢~have a boyfriend: 有男朋友Do you have a boyfriend?你男朋友吗?
PS: “交女朋友”也是一个道理啦, 把boyfriend换成girlfriend就好~

You can make it是什么意思?
这就要分情况咯~~
情景一:
如果去别人家做客
主人一打开门对你说
I'm glad you can make it.
是在说:很高兴你能来我家!
You can make it
=你能来
make it
=可以到达某个地方(参加某个活动)
例句:
I'm really sorry, but I won't be able to make it on Sunday after all.
真的很抱歉,但是星期日我真的去不了了.
情景二:
如果你身边的朋友
情绪低落,觉得自己不能成功
你就可以鼓励他说
Don't give up. You can make it.
(别放弃!你一定行!)
You can make it
=你行,你可以,你一定能成功
make it
=成功
例句:
I believe I have the talent to make it.
我相信我有天分把这件事做成.

Make up竟然是这个意思!
看到make up
你是不是就想到”化妆”
那你就大错特错了!
make up
≠化妆
＝和解
例句:
They kissed and made up, as usual.
像往常一样，他们亲吻和好了。
你想要的”化妆”,是这样的:
make-up
=化妆品
例句:
I put on a little eye make-up.
我上了淡妆的眼妆。
