Have you ever borrowed money from others?
考生
Well, although I'm quite broke these days, I don't usually borrow money from other people, because in the context of Chinese culture, it is not very suggested to talk about financial matters of yourself with other people. Unfortunately, when the need is so urgent, such as an accident occurs.

Have you ever lent money to others?
考生
Well, from time to time, yes I do. Umm, several cousins of mine. I may find the problems of lacking money and they would ask me for help. It would be natural for me to, uh, to respond to their call and give them the financial support they need. And they usually can pay the debt in time, so it's not really a big issue for me.

範例: Yes, I sometimes lend money to my cousins when they face financial difficulties. For example, last month, one of them needed help to pay for urgent medical bills, and I was happy to support him. They usually repay me on time, so it is not a big problem.
× it is not very suggested to talk about financial matters of yourself with other people
✓ it is not very suggested to talk about your financial matters with other people
这里“financial matters of yourself”用法不正确,应该用“your financial matters”来表达“你的财务问题”,更符合英语习惯。
× Unfortunately, when the need is so urgent, such as an accident occurs.
✓ Unfortunately, when the need is so urgent, such as when an accident occurs.
原句缺少连接词“when”,导致句子结构不完整,应该补充“when”使句子完整。
× Well, from time to time, yes I do.
✓ Well, from time to time, yes I do.
此句时态正确,无需修改。
× I may find the problems of lacking money and they would ask me for help.
✓ I may find the problem of lacking money and they would ask me for help.
“problems”应为单数“problem”,因为这里指的是“缺钱的问题”整体,而非多个不同的问题。
× It would be natural for me to, uh, to respond to their call and give them the financial support they need.
✓ It would be natural for me to respond to their call and give them the financial support they need.
“to”重复使用不必要,去掉第二个“to”使句子更流畅。
× And they usually can pay the debt in time, so it's not really a big issue for me.
✓ And they usually can pay the debt on time, so it's not really a big issue for me.
“in time”通常表示及时赶到,表达“按时还款”应使用“on time”。
