英英釋義：to make a relationship, idea etc stronger or more certain
例句：Collective goals can help cement solidarity.
做名詞是水泥妻熊，做動詞表示把….粘合沦泌，也可表示加強的意思，consolidate哪怔，make sth stronger比起來更有畫面感典格。
例1：比如共同的目標(biāo)可以讓一個群體更團結(jié)：
Common goal can cement a group.
原文 Collective goals can help cement solidarity. 共同目標(biāo) collective goal祖娘，群體團結(jié)cement solidary 原文中沒有出現(xiàn)群體的翻譯丽焊，直接用solidarity
cement 后常接表示“關(guān)系”的名詞，比如 relationship, friendship, tie, bond, connection 等詞眉孩。
例2：相似的價值觀和閱歷可以加強關(guān)系
The same value and experience can cement relationship.
原文：Shared values and experiences can cement a bond.?
相似的價值觀 shared values个绍，share的這種用法不會
例三：這種用法也是《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》中的常客浪汪，比如：
Republicans won statehouses that Democrats had held for decades; in several competitive states they cemented their hold on power through gerrymandering.（'they cemented their hold on power through gerrymandering' 表示“他們（民主黨）通過改劃選區(qū)加強了他們對權(quán)利的掌控”）巴柿。
作業(yè)：
翻譯 ：八卦可以讓人們迅速增強友誼。

（參考翻譯：The exchange of gossip can efficiently cement a friendship.）
八卦應(yīng)該是交換八卦 The exchange of gossip死遭， 迅速用efficiently广恢，沒有直接翻譯。
場景：和陌生的中年女人聊孩子和丈夫能迅速增進和她們的關(guān)系呀潭。
