cement

to make a relationship, idea etc stronger or more certain

例句：Collective goals can help cement solidarity.

1）翻译下面的句子：
八卦可以让人们迅速增强友谊。

Gossip can rapidly cement a friendship.

参考翻译：The exchange of gossip can efficiently cement a friendship.

自评 ： 八卦只存在于人们之间传递信息时，所以用exchange好，rapidly表示的速度，但这里用efficiently更能体现出“有效”的意思。

可修改为：The creative people tend to challenge and even deviate from the norm，rather than conform to it.

2）场景：共同经历过困难、挑战，能让一个团队更加团结。

造句：
Overcoming difficulties together can help cement solidarity.
