I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU!

Dear friends;

.

If you want to express your concern with your friend, or to say something to support and encourage your friend, how do you say this in English?

.

A few weeks ago, my friend "Dick" who told me that he was so busy and tired of his current job, he said this at the job site at that moment,, I expressed my concern and spoke to him "Please don't give up, I will always be there for you!".

.

One hour later, he phoned to me and asked where are you now?, I answered him "I am at office and will get off". He said then to me "I am waiting there for you, why don't you come here?". His words confused me because I should not promise him I would go there. ......He told me that you said you will always be there for me but I am still waiting for you".??????

.

I got back to him, Yes, I said I will always be there for you, but I didn't say I will go there. It is a joke that has confused my friend by a sentence "I will always be there for you", the true meaning of this should be "I will give you my helping hand".

I will always be there for you 是我會永遠支持你, 而不是我會在那裡等你.

正因為這樣, 所以我無在那裡等佢是正常的.
