Now again, when I see these two young women, I think of dependable, but what does the word dependable actually mean?
当我再次看到这两位年轻女性时，我会想到“可靠”这个词；但“可靠”到底意味着什么呢？
So dependable means trustworthy, reliable, and capable of being trusted or depended on.
可靠”意味着值得信赖、可依赖，并且具备让人们信任或依赖的能力。
So when I look at those two young women, I see one is leaning on the other, I think.
当我看到那两位年轻女子时，我觉得其中一位正倚靠在另一位身上。

or you, you can say my friend, my mother, my father, my sister, my brother.
或者，你也可以说“我的朋友”、“我的母亲”、“我的父亲”、“我的妹妹”、“我的兄弟”。
Wow.
哇。
They're really dependable.
它们真的非常可靠。

现在，我确实想快速提醒大家：这个词可以随时使用。
Not just in a business environment, you can also use it when speaking to your friends and in other environments.
不仅在商业环境中，你在与朋友交谈或其他场合时也可以使用这种方法。
