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

不认识你其他友人的朋友

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

我们都喜欢整合。我们喜欢同时拥有多个朋友圈子以达到一石二鸟的目的。

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，有时你需要给一个身处事外的朋友打一通求救电话，征得他客观的意见，你们的友谊可以长存而不必围绕别的友谊存在，这是一个好处。

“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.”

“这种友情之间有种隐私，不存在于朋友圈里，”贝托鲁奇说到：“你不在场的时候他们不会讨论你，这使人们更乐于分享自己的愿景、梦想、担忧和顾虑。”
