朋友的不同境界：未曾謀面到親如家人

我們不能選擇自己的家人，但是朋友還是可以選的。我們來看看生活中不同級(jí)別的朋友在英語里都怎么表達(dá)。

Prequaintance is someone you know of or heard about before but have yet to meet, he/she is not an acquaintance but not a stranger either.

Prequaintance是你知道或者原來聽說過但還沒有見過面的人，既不算熟人，也不是陌生人，所以，我們就叫“沒見過面的熟人”吧。

比如，社交網(wǎng)站上彼此加了好友，但沒有見過面的人就可以用prequaintance表示。

Acquaintance is a person with whom one has been in contact but who is not a close friend.

Acquaintance指有來往但關(guān)系并不近的熟人。

注意到了嗎?Prequaintance其實(shí)就是把a(bǔ)cquaintance的前綴變成了pre，也就是“...之前的”意思。是不是很方便?

Friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.

Friend就是彼此之間有感情，相互關(guān)愛的人。

當(dāng)然了，每個(gè)人對(duì)朋友的定義和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都不一樣。

BFF stands for best friend forever, often refers to a person's best friend, typically a girl's best friend.

BFF就是永遠(yuǎn)的好朋友，一般女生比較喜歡用BFF來表示自己的“閨蜜”。

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”。
