题目

Friends are not so(as) easy got(gotten) as lost .有这种用法吗?有的话请详细讲解.
顺便问问,如果把这类句子颠来颠去,你能快速反应过来吗?比如 Money sometimes is not so hard spent as made .Money is not as easy made as spent.怎么我反应那么慢呢?

答案

我知你是想写:"结交朋友难失去朋友易",是吗?
但你的句子并不合文法,应该写"Friends are easier to lose than made"
或者是;"Losing friends are easier than making them"
