 家人般的朋友 framily
[ 2009-04-13 16:27 ]
中國有句古話叫做“在家靠父母，出門靠朋友”。對(duì)于在外求學(xué)和工作的我們來說，這一點(diǎn)顯得尤為重要。身邊有一群親如兄弟姐妹的朋友，遇到困難的時(shí)候隨時(shí)有人會(huì)在身邊，離家的日子才不會(huì)覺得那么凄慘和彷徨。是朋友，又像家人一樣親近，這樣的一群人就叫做framily。
Framily (the blend of "friends" and "family") means a person's closest friends, particularly those who feel like part of the family. Framily is a new social group underpinned by the principle that good friends are the family we can choose for ourselves.
Framily（friends和family兩個(gè)詞的合成詞）指某人很親近的朋友，尤其指那些親如家人的朋友。Framily是一個(gè)新興的社會(huì)群體，表達(dá)的理念為“好朋友是我們自己可以選擇的家庭”。
The concept of "framily" is thought to have arisen largely because of changes in the structure of society. In contrast to previous eras, people no longer routinely live close to other members of their family, and therefore need to create an alternative "support network" – friends who they can rely on for company and support through life's ups and downs.
Framily的概念是隨著社會(huì)結(jié)構(gòu)的改變而出現(xiàn)的。與之前的時(shí)代相比，人們不再與其家人生活在一起，因此需要建立另外的“支持網(wǎng)絡(luò)”—— 一群他們?cè)诮?jīng)歷人生起伏時(shí)可以依靠的朋友。
