周末的時(shí)候姐妹淘們都喜歡湊一起聚會(huì),逛街聊天,這些姐妹淘里面總有一個(gè)靈魂人物,讓大家都能開開心心地聚到一起玩,這就是朋友間的“中間人”——transition friend。
Transition friend is a person that brings together two or more people that would otherwise not actually hang out. Sometimes people get to know each other through the “transition friend”.
“中間朋友”就是把兩個(gè)(有時(shí)是兩個(gè)以上)朋友叫到一起玩的人,如果沒有他,這些人是不會(huì)結(jié)伴出游的。有時(shí)人們通過這種“中間朋友”得以結(jié)識(shí)彼此。
Example:
Adam: Jeremy, are you going to Jose's party tonight?
亞當(dāng):杰里米,你今晚要去約瑟的派對(duì)嗎?
Jeremy: No, Alex is my transition friend for Jose. I can't just show up without him being there.
杰里米:不去,艾利克斯是我和約瑟的“中間朋友”。他不在那里的話我也不能去。
Adam: Oh, I got you.
亞當(dāng):哦,我明白你的意思了。
