jowel在沈阳学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是lily要问的是：异地恋。
Jowel: Lily，what's your plan for the weekend?
LL; I'll be out of town! 我得坐4个小时飞机去看我男朋友!
Jowel: Boy! That's a long flight! 你真是个好女朋友。
LL: 没办法啦。异地恋就是这么辛苦。Jowel, 异地恋用美语要怎么说呢？
Jowel: That's long-distance relationship. So, how long have you guys been long-distance?
LL: We've been dating for a couple of years now. I miss him so much, and I don't know if we can survive the long-distance!
Jowel: Don't be sad, Lily! I know dating over long-distance can be hard, but you got to have faith in the relationship! Hmm, tell me, what do you like about your boyfriend？
LL: 他啊，最大的优点就是真诚，不做作。
Jowel: So he's a blue-collar kind of guy!
LL: blue collar? 那不是蓝领工人么？
Jowel: Yes. But if you say a man is a "blue collar kind of guy", it doesn't necessarily refer to his job. Rather, it's about his down-to-earth, unpretending character.
LL: I see. My boyfriend is a blue-collar kind of guy. 我就喜欢他这纯朴劲儿。
Jowel: So what does he like about you?
LL: 哈哈，他也喜欢我清纯，亲切，不做作。那我就是blue-collar kind of girl了？怎么听着这么别扭。
Jowel: Hmm, you can use the phrase "the girl next door".
LL:The girl next door？ 哦，就是邻家女孩! 没错，My boyfriend says I'm nice and attractive, just like a girl next door! 不过，这次去找他，I don't want to be the girl next door anymore! 我要打扮得艳丽一些，给他个惊喜!
Jowel : I hope he likes it! Now tell me what you've learned today!
LL: 第一：异地恋是long-distance relationship；.
第二：形容男孩质朴老实，可以用blue-collar kind of guy；
第三：亲切可爱的邻家女孩是the girl next door.
Jowel；ok , lily , you are the girl next door . And, you are my BFF .
LL:BFF ？ 什么是BFF？!
Jowel: Actually in English, when you have a best friend , you can call her your BFF. BFF stands for Best Friend Forever. People use this term to refer to their best friends.
LL 原来BFF就是永远的好朋友! Yes,you are definitely my BFF! We were college classmates and once lived in the same dorm for our high school time . 我们特别铁，无话不谈。咦，这个"铁"用英文要怎么说呢?
Jowel: You can say: we are tight! Tight是关系紧密的意思，也就是说我们关系特别铁!
LL: 可不! 话说来跟我们一块吃饭的还有另外一个人! 我们吧，也挺好的, 不过吧， She's super competitive. She always wants what I have! 你说这种人该怎么说? Partial BFF? Partial tight?
Jowel: 哈哈.... that sounds like a frenemy of yours. Frenemy consists of friend and enemy, it is basically half friend and half enemy!
LL: 原来如此! This girl is a frenemy. 我们俩表面不错，但是暗地里好象老是在明争暗斗的。
Jowel: Sounds like a love-hate relationship to me!
LL: That's so true, 我对她绝对是又爱又恨，你看，今天我跟我闺蜜见面，她又跟来了! 哎...
Jowel 哈哈，开心点！Before you go, tell me what you've learned today!
LL: 今天我们学到的内容包括:
第一，闺蜜是best friend forever, 也就是BFF,
第二，关系很铁可以用 tight;
第三，亦敌亦友，叫做frenemy;
第四，爱恨交加是 a love-hate relationship!
