3. A Brutally Honest Confidant
敢說真話的知己
There’s certain situations in life where we need to hear the harsh truth. That’s what the brutally honest confidant is for. If you’re in a rocky relationship and everyone’s telling you that it’s perfectly normal that you’re back with that special someone for the 8th time in the last 2 years, the brutally honest confidant is there to yank your rose-colored glasses off and tell you, “Enough. Stop with all that break-up-and-get-back-together drama. You deserve better.”
在生活中,我們有時需要聽到殘酷的現實。這就是為什么要有個敢說真話的知己。如果你在一段不穩定的關系中,每個人都告訴你,在過去的兩年里你和那個人第八次和好這很正常,而敢說真話的知己則會否定你那過于樂觀的觀點,告訴你,“夠了。別再上演分手和好的鬧劇了。你值得和更好的人在一起。”
Friends are supposed to be honest with each other. If you find someone who is brutally honest with you (in a constructive way), then hold on to this person! People like that are hard to come by these days.
朋友間應該彼此誠實以待。如果你找到了敢說真話的知己(以積極的方式),那么要一直和這個人做朋友!這樣的朋友現在是很難得的。
