次の会話の中の日本文(1)〜(4)を英語にしなさい。
Mary: Who is your best friend, Steve?
Steve: Well, that's a difficult question to answer, Mary. I have a lot of friends, both male and female. I don't know who I would call "best." What about you?
Mary: I have a lot of friends, too, but my best friend is Sussie. (1)子供の時からずっとお友達なの。
Steve: That's really nice. (2)だけど信頼できて誠実な人かどうかわかるには、随分時間がかかるよ。 People you think are your friends for years sure can disppoint you.
Mary: I know. But Sussie is kind and she's so supportive. I try to be that way for her, too.
Steve: I've met some really nice people, but when you need them, they often turn out to be insensitive and self-centered, and worst of all, two-faced.
Mary: What does two-faced mean, Steve?
Steve: (3)文字通りの意味だよ。 It's the kind of person who has a face for me, and a different face for you, depending on what they want. That person smiles to your face and says bad things about you behind your back.
Mary: Wow! I know some people like that -- that's so selfish. (4)できるものなら、避けたい類の人よね。
