Feifei: Hello 我親愛(ài)的聽(tīng)眾朋友們，歡迎收聽(tīng)《你問(wèn)我答》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。Friendship,友誼是我們今天節(jié)目的主題。我們先來(lái)聽(tīng)一下聽(tīng)友 Tommy Ling 發(fā)來(lái)的這個(gè)問(wèn)題

Question

What is the difference between fair-weather friend and acquaintance?

Feifei: 問(wèn)題是關(guān)于 fair-weather friend and acquaintance 之間的區(qū)別。如果你對(duì)這兩個(gè)表達(dá)的意思還不是很確定，那么下面的兩個(gè)例子應(yīng)該能幫到你：

Example 1

I used to spend a lot of time with Malcolm: we often went out for meals or drinks and even we went on holiday together once. But when I got ill and had to stop working he disappeared. I guess he was just a fair-weather friend.

The party was full of people I had met through work but didn't really know well. There weren't any close friends there, just acquaintances.

Feifei: OK - a fair-weather friend 就是我們常說(shuō)的只可共安樂(lè)而難共患難的朋友，俗稱(chēng)酒肉朋友。Acquaintance 指的是認(rèn)識(shí)的人，但了解交往不深，俗稱(chēng)泛泛之交。雖然今天的問(wèn)題是回答完了， 但我們應(yīng)該借友誼這個(gè)話(huà)題再多學(xué)一些表示“朋友”的單詞：

Example 2

Buddy, bud, mate, pal, chum

Feifei: Mate 這個(gè)詞在英式英語(yǔ)中使用頻率很高。不過(guò)英語(yǔ)里有些表示朋友的單詞最初來(lái)自外來(lái)語(yǔ)，比如說(shuō)：

Example 3

Amigo or compadre

Feifei: 這兩個(gè)詞來(lái)自于西班牙語(yǔ)。

Example 4

Hi amigo!

How's it hanging compadre?

Feifei: 還有幾種對(duì)關(guān)系好的男性朋友的稱(chēng)呼來(lái)自于單詞 brother:

Example 5

Bro, bruv

Alright bro?

I'm cool bruv!

Feifei: 對(duì)關(guān)系好的、親密的女性朋友可以稱(chēng)為 sis, 來(lái)自單詞 sister.

Example 6

Sis

How are you sis?

Feifei: 還有一種對(duì)很親密、很近的朋友的幽默稱(chēng)呼，像這樣：

Example 7

He's my brother from another mother

How's it going, sister from another mother?

Feifei: 關(guān)系好的女性朋友可能會(huì)互相稱(chēng)之為 sweetie 或 lovely:

Example 8

How are you sweetie?

I'm great thanks lovely!

Feifei: 下面給大家介紹幾個(gè)可以用來(lái)稱(chēng)呼朋友的俚語(yǔ)表達(dá)。請(qǐng)注意這些說(shuō)法通常僅用于男性朋友之間。

Example 9

Geezer, fella, my old mucker

What's up geezer?

Not bad fella!

How are you my old mucker?

Feifei: 十幾歲的年青人通常會(huì)用下面這個(gè)表達(dá)來(lái)描述他們的好友：

Example 10

We're besties.

Feifei: Bestie 是 best friend 的簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)。

Example 11

Yes, you're my BFF

Feifei: 有沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到最后的那個(gè) BFF – 它的意思就是 best friend forever 永遠(yuǎn)的最好的朋友。Well friends, buddies, BFFs – 今天的節(jié)目就到這里了。希望你在日常交流中能用到這些表達(dá)。好了，在學(xué)習(xí)中遇到任何難題，別忘了直接給我們發(fā)郵件過(guò)來(lái)提出你的問(wèn)題，我們的郵箱地址是 questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk 下次再會(huì)啦。
