Memory Tip
联想：be（成为）+ friend（朋友）→ 成为朋友，即“与…交朋友，扶助”。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：社交场合、正式书信或演讲、文学叙述 通常用于正式或书面语，比 make friends with 更正式，多指主动与某人建立友谊或表示友好、帮助对方。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 befriend 的末尾 /ɛnd/ 押韵：friend, end, trend, send, bend, spend。注意拼写陷阱：friend/befriend 中的 'ie' 读作 /ɛ/，不要按字母读成 /iː/；而 fiend（魔鬼）的 'ie' 发长音 /iː/，与 befriend 不押韵。同样，green /ɡriːn/、preen /priːn/ 以 -een 拼写，读 /iːn/，也不与 -end 押韵。
