Topic: He’s an acquaintance.
Nancy今天我們要來討論一下東西方文化的差異。
He’s an acquaintance.
acquaintance就是熟人、相識的意思。
And an acquaintance is someone that you know well but not well enough to call them a friend.
當你想表達和一個人認識,但又沒有那么熟以至于可以互稱為朋友的時候就可以這樣說。
This is why you should never say to a western person in the street, "Would you like to be my friend?" that makes foreigners very uncomfortable.
如果你在街上見到一個老外就說 "Would you like to be my friend?" 就會使當場的氣氛非常尷尬,也會弄的他非常不舒服,所以千萬要弄清楚friend和
acquaintance的區(qū)別。
So he’s an acquaintance.
He’s an acquaintance.
That’s all for today.
Bye.
