   记得原来学过一句谚语:A friend in need is a friend indeed. 在汉语里就是“患难见真知”的意思。不过,我们身边的朋友不可能都是这样的。今天讲的这个词foul-weather friend就是只在有困难的时候才会想起你的那种朋友。


  A foul-weather friend only seeks you out if they have a problem, need a shoulder to cry on, a ride to town or someone to watch their dog, but otherwise they act as if they don't even know you.
  Foul-weather friend(字面意思为“坏天气朋友”)只会在他们遇到麻烦、需要找个肩膀流泪、搭车进城或找人帮着照看他家宠物狗的时候才会想起你,否则,他们基本就跟不认识你一样。
  A foul-weather friend will never call you to go out with other friends, go to a show or just go hang out, but the minute trouble comes, your foul-weather friend knows you are good old reliable 1 you, the one who will listen when no one else will, and they act like you're their only friend. Don't expect the same in return either. When you've got a problem, they'll usually tell you not to bring them down.
  “坏天气朋友”从来不会叫你跟其他朋友一起出去、看演出或者出去闲逛。可是,一旦遇上麻烦,他就知道你是可以依靠的老朋友,会是他唯一的听众,他们的表现让人感觉你是他唯一的朋友。不过,你可别期望他们能以同样的方式对你。等你遇到困难的时候,他们通常会告诫你,不要把他们拉下水。

adj.可信赖的;可靠的
  • I'm afraid the information is not reliable.恐怕消息不可靠。
  • Do you think she's reliable?你看她这个人可靠吗?
