在向暗恋已久的朋友告白前，都要做好三种准备，一种是得偿所愿，一种是被拒绝但friend zoned（还是做朋友吧），还有最糟的一种是acquaintance zoned（踢出朋友圈），连朋友也没得做。
You are friend zoned when a member of the opposite sex (usually one you want to hook up with) declares you to be "just a friend", thereby ruining all potential chances of sex.
当你想追求的异性宣告你只是他（她）的朋友时，你就此被“划入朋友圈”，你俩之间从此再无可能。
Acquaintance zoned is similar to being friend zoned, only far worse. While being friend zoned can sometimes produce a friend, being acquaintance zoned produces nothing.
“划入熟人圈”比“划入朋友圈”还惨，“划入朋友圈”至少还能做做朋友，“划入熟人圈”连朋友都做不成。
Example:
Josh: So how did asking out Sarah go?
Larry: Not well at all. No interest.
Josh: Friend zoned?
Larry: Worse. Acquaintance zoned.
乔什：你把莎拉约出来那事怎么样啦？
拉里：糟透了。她对我一点兴趣也没有。
乔什：她给你“好人卡”啦？/她想和你做普通朋友？
拉里：比那更糟。连朋友也没得做。
