在向暗恋已久的朋友表白前,都要做好三种筹备,一种是得偿所愿,一种是被拒绝但friend zoned,还有最糟的一种是acquaintance zoned,连朋友也没得做。

You are friend zoned when a member of the opposite sex 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不过他的朋友时,你就此被“划入朋友圈”,你两个之间从此再无可能。

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如何啦?

拉里:糟透了。她对我一点兴趣也没。

乔什:她给你“好人卡”啦?/她想和你做一般朋友?

拉里:比那更糟。连朋友也没得做。
