生活中需要的朋友
A Brutally Honest Confidant
敢说真话的知己
There's certain situations in life where we need to hear the harsh truth. That's what the brutally honest confidant is for.
在生活中，我们有时需要听到残酷的现实。这就是为什么要有个敢说真话的知己。
If you're in a rocky relationship and everyone's telling you that it's perfectly normal that you're back with that special someone for the 8th time in the last 2 years, the brutally honest confidant is there to yank your rose-colored glasses off and tell you, "Enough. Stop with all that break-up-and-get-back-together drama. You deserve better."
如果你在一段不稳定的关系中，每个人都告诉你，在过去的两年里你和那个人第八次和好这很正常，而敢说真话的知己则会否定你那过于乐观的观点，告诉你，“够了。别再上演分手和好的闹剧了。你值得和更好的人在一起。”
Friends are supposed to be honest with each other.If you find someone who is brutally honest with you (in a constructive way),then hold on to this person! People like that are hard to come by these days.
朋友间应该彼此诚实以待。如果你找到了敢说真话的知己（以积极的方式），那么要一直和这个人做朋友！这样的朋友现在是很难得的。
