大家平时是怎么形容好朋友的呢?
前两天听到有人用“you're a fast friend”来形容好友。
这是什么意思,朋友很快?当然不是,fast friend是指忠实可靠的朋友。
例句:
the two of them had been fast friends since college.
他们俩从大学开始就是好朋友。
那么,fast friend这个说法是怎么来的呢?
although many believe that the idiom 'fast friends' means friends who developed a 1 for one another quickly, the term is actually a shortened form of '2 friends.'
虽然很多人认为“fast friends”这个习语是指很快就喜欢上彼此的朋友,但这个说法实际上是“坚定的朋友”的缩写形式。
the origin of the idiom 'fast friends' comes from an even older version of the word 'steadfast' – old english triewe meaning faithful, trustworthy, and steady in adhering to promises or friends.
这个用法的起源来自“坚定不移”这个词的古英语版——triewe这个词,它的意思是忠实、值得信赖、对承诺或朋友坚定不移。
