It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. upon是？？
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the love they have each f or a book — just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration w hich both have for a third. （帮忙改一下句式）
They are（指书） to be had very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books.（to be had?? but在这里是怎么用的？？）

Answer 1

1. live in the campany of： 在....的陪伴下生活：人应该与最好的伴侣生活在一起，无论是书还是人
2. upon==to
3. Men often discover their affinity to each other by the love they have in common, either for a book or a third person.
4. 书又便宜有好，==they don't cost much to be had，（买书很便宜）
我们无时不在呼吸，但是却呼吸不到书之空气（没有对好书的渴望）

希望对你有帮助

Answer 2

1.live in the company 这里的live应该是“呆在”一间公司。be就是谓语啊。
2.take one's back upon/on 是一个固定短语，意思是背叛。upon一般可以和on相互替换。
3.帮忙改一下句式是什么意思？
4.to be had 就是很便宜就能得到。but是除了，也就是说呼吸间只有书的气息。

希望能帮到你O(∩_∩)O

改变句子的单词顺序>< 可以去掉一些词或加上但总意思不变 我们叫改句式 老师经常叫我们做的~还有第一句 文章是Companionship of Books 原句在这里A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men. 所以我想不是公司的意思

1.在...的陪伴下。（抱歉我只看了一半。。。）
3.With the love of the same book, men can often find a bosom friend. Just like when two persons have the admiration for the same thing, they may become good friends.

Answer 3

感觉语法都是错的 We breathe but the air of books这一点最令人费解

1、one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
无论所结交的是人还是书，人总该时常有良师益友才行。--be前面省掉了should
2、It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. 在我们穷愁潦倒、临危遭难的时候，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一往情深。upon 可看成 对......
3、Men often discover their affinity to each other by the love they have each f or a book — just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration w hich both have for a third.
人们常常因为同爱一本书而结为知己，就像有时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而交为朋友一样。
改成什么句式的。。
4、They are to be had very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books.
依然会回想,仿佛就在身边发生。书籍价廉物美,我们就在书香中呼吸。
to be had 是一个被动句。。 to be done
