修改原因
修改前I know I can always rely my sister when things go wrong.
修改后I know I can always rely on my sister when things go wrong.
Rely 后面的 on 不能漏掉。容易受 trust 的结构影响,因为 trust 可以直接接人:trust my sister。但 rely 要说 rely on my sister,适合把 rely on 作为整体记住。
Rely on 和 depend on 意思接近,但不是处处互换。Depend on 还可以表示结果取决于某种条件:The price depends on the season。这里不能换成 rely,因为价格并不信任或指望谁。
