Honesty/Sincerity

誠實真誠

"We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world,and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend." – Robert LouisStevenson

“我們都是大千世界里的過客，旅途中最重要的莫過于忠誠的朋友。”——羅伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森

If you upset an acquaintance by saying or doing something unpleasant, they'll likely just pretend it never happened and then bitch about you to everyone else behind your back.

如果你說了或做了什么讓泛泛之交難堪的事，他們只會裝作沒事一樣，然后在背后把你黑得一塌糊涂。

A true friend will call you on your behaviour and let you know that it was hurtful/upsetting/offensive because your relationshipis important to them and they want to ensure that all snags are worked through.

而真朋友卻會坦白告訴你他受傷了，覺得很生氣很難過，因為他很看重你們的友情，希望所有不愉快都能化解。

An acquaintance will pretend that everything's okayand then whines about you to anyone who'll listen doesn't care about ensuring that everything's okay.

泛泛之交表面裝作一切都很好，背后卻逢人就大倒苦水說你不是。

You're replaceable to them, and if they don't smooth things out with you, they can just hang out with somebody else from now on.

對泛泛之交來說，你是可有可無的，如果跟你處不來，他可以立馬找其他人。
