刘老师：
有这么一道题：
I have many friends to ________ when I have trouble.
A. talk to B. talk C. talk about
我认为选A，可是答案是C。请您帮助分析一下，谢谢。
【答】赞同你的观点。本句正确答案是A，不是C。
在这个语境中，选talk about不成立。因为本句的意思是“向朋友们倾诉”，而不是“谈论朋友们”。如果一定选talk about，那么，about需要加宾语，没有宾语的介词是不存在的。除非把句子改为：I have many friends to ________ it when I have trouble.
又如：
You may find some like-minded friends to talk about your problem.
你可找些志同道合的朋友谈谈你的问题。
Jack is calling some friends to talk about an upcoming reunion.
杰克打电话给一些朋友讨论即将来临的同学会。
