朋友的去世使她感到十分悲傷。

　　She had been desolated by the death of her friend

　　我通過朋友的朋友聽到這事的。 I heard about it through a friend of a friend.

　　他的一些朋友是那種放蕩不羈又怪里怪氣的人。 Some of his friends are pretty wild and wacky characters.

　　20多年來我們既是朋友又是同事。 We were friends and colleagues for more than 20 years.

　　不過我們仍然是朋友，這令人感到欣慰。 We are still friends, though, which is good.
