Honesty/Sincerity

诚实真诚

"We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world,and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend." – Robert LouisStevenson

“我们都是大千世界里的过客，旅途中最重要的莫过于忠诚的朋友。”——罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森

If you upset an acquaintance by saying or doing something unpleasant, they'll likely just pretend it never happened and then bitch about you to everyone else behind your back.

如果你说了或做了什么让泛泛之交难堪的事，他们只会装作没事一样，然后在背后把你黑得一塌糊涂。

A true friend will call you on your behaviour and let you know that it was hurtful/upsetting/offensive because your relationshipis important to them and they want to ensure that all snags are worked through.

而真朋友却会坦白告诉你他受伤了，觉得很生气很难过，因为他很看重你们的友情，希望所有不愉快都能化解。

An acquaintance will pretend that everything's okayand then whines about you to anyone who'll listen doesn't care about ensuring that everything's okay.

泛泛之交表面装作一切都很好，背后却逢人就大倒苦水说你不是。

You're replaceable to them, and if they don't smooth things out with you, they can just hang out with somebody else from now on.

对泛泛之交来说，你是可有可无的，如果跟你处不来，他可以立马找其他人。
