5. But when you do, it’s not half as hard as you thought it would be, and it’s twice as rewarding as you might have hoped.

译文 但当你真正做的时候，它的难度还不到你预料的一半，而得到的回报却是你原本期

望的两倍。

not half as hard as you thought和twice as rewarding as you might have hoped是对程度的比较，该类比较句的使用中要注意half 和twice 等表达倍数的词的位置。

6.We can be ourselves with our friends, and that is a wonderful thing; too precious a gift to deny other friends.

译文 我们和朋友在一起时能够自然不做作，那是一件很美妙的事，是一份很珍贵的礼物，

不能不与其他朋友分享。

That指代前面的整个句子“We can be ourselves with our friends”。
