好朋友有親密無間的BFF(Best Friend Forever,永遠的好朋友),也有不那么坦誠的BBF(Best-Behavior Friend,好行為朋友)。你交過BBF嗎?
Best-Behavior Friend, also known as 'BBF'; a friend whom you have very little in common with and you act on your best-behavior when you're with.
“好行為朋友”簡稱BBF,指跟你沒有什么共同點的朋友,你和這個朋友在一起時,總是表現(xiàn)出最好的一面。
A best-behavior friend does not typically know the extent of your true character or transgressions because you misrepresent the truth to make yourself look good or innocent. A person with a best-behavior friendship may see the friendship as important or long-standing and so lying about situations or leaving out key facts becomes common.
“好行為朋友”往往不知道你的真實個性或離經(jīng)叛道的程度,因為你在他們面前表現(xiàn)出的是天真無邪的一面。有“好行為朋友”的人可能很重視這段友誼或者因為彼此相處時間已經(jīng)很長,在某些事情上撒點謊或者抹去一點關(guān)鍵事實就成為稀松平常的事了。
例句:
Meg got staggering drunk at the dancing party last night. She went for lunch the next day with her best-behavior friend Rachel and when Meg recounted her night to Rachel, the drunk elements were removed.
梅格昨晚在舞會上喝得酩酊大醉。第二天她跟自己的“好行為朋友”瑞秋一起吃午飯,當她向瑞秋講起昨晚的事情時,喝醉的部分被省略了。
