THE FRIEND WHO DOESN'T KNOW ANY OF YOUR OTHER FRIENDS

不認識你其他友人的朋友

We like integration. We like killing two birds with one stone by catching up with several groups of friends at once.

我們都喜歡整合。我們喜歡同時擁有多個朋友圈子以達到一石二鳥的目的。

But there are times when you need to make an S.O.S call to a friend who is completely uninvolved and removed from a situation who can offer objective advice so it a bonus that your friendship exists without orbiting around your other ones.

但是，有時你需要給一個身處事外的朋友打一通求救電話，征得他客觀的意見，你們的友誼可以長存而不必圍繞別的友誼存在，這是一個好處。

“There is a level of privacy to this friendship that doesn’t exist in friendship circles,” says Bertolucci. “It will be easier to share some of your hopes and dreams, fears and concerns knowing that they are not going to be discussed when you’re not around.”

“這種友情之間有種隱私，不存在于朋友圈里，”貝托魯奇說到：“你不在場的時候他們不會討論你，這使人們更樂于分享自己的愿景、夢想、擔憂和顧慮。”
