Anyone about whom I have to say more is really less.
A、Someone who is referred to as my best friend is nothing but an acquaintance.
B、When I mention someone as my best friend, I am just flattering him.
C、When I am forced to say someone is my best friend, I don t really mean he is a close friend.
D、When I have to say that someone is my best friend, I mean he is just a friend of mine, not a close one.
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：原句译文：越是要把关系说得亲密的人，其实关系越是疏远。本句要强调的重点是谈及是好朋友的人，其实可能只是一个普通的朋友。A项中acquaintance意为一个略微认识的人，与普通的朋友含义不同；B项中flatter意为奉迎某人，与原文不符；D项（……只是说他是我朋友中的一个，但并不是一个亲密朋友）与C项（……我并不是说他是一个亲密的朋友）相比，解释的信息更为全面，准确。答案为D。
