168. 汤姆破产以后,他的那些朋友都不见了 ---他们不过是一些酒肉朋友。
[误] None of his friends has ever turned up since Tom went bankrupt ---they are nothing but friends of wine
and meat.
[正] None of his friends has ever turned up since Tom went bankrupt ---they are nothing but fine weather
friends.
注:英语中的 fine weather friends 是指“顺境中的朋友”,其意思与我们的“酒肉朋友”是一样的,都是指“只能同甘,不能共苦的朋友”。
