Lending greenbacks, borrowing bucks or talking too much about cash often leads to fights between friends. 没有什么原因比因为钱争执能更快地结束一段友谊。借钱给朋友、向朋友借钱或过多的谈钱常造成朋友之间不和。 2) It is common to lend a friend ten or twenty bucks. However, a bigger loan may cause problems. 借给朋友十块二十块钱是常事儿，但是再多借一点儿就可能会引起麻烦。 3) If your friend want you to hit them with 300 USD, be careful. 如果你的朋友想要你借给他们三百美元，小心一点。 4) Interest. Banks charge interest on loans.
