我们的生活中有很多种朋友,有些只是点头之交,有些可能是无话不说的密友,而有些则可能是让你有好感,想有进一步发展的朋友,这样的朋友被称为friends with possibilities。
The term “friends with possibilities” describes the situation where you start out as friends with someone, but have the possibility or potential for a relationship on the next level.
Friends with possibilities指的是你跟某人开始只做普通朋友,但有潜在可能会朝着建立恋爱关系的方向发展,我们可称为“可能成为恋人的朋友”。
这个说法大概是从那部名叫《Friends with Benefits(朋友也上床)》的电影演变而来的。
For example:
"Are you two dating yet?"
"No we're just friends with possibilities for now.”
“你们俩在恋爱吗?”
“没有,我们现在只是普通朋友,不过可能会朝那个方向发展。”
