Jessica在北京学中文，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。今天是于苗要问的：闺蜜。

Jessica: Wow, 于苗！What are you doing all dolled up!

YM: 我今天要去见我最最好的朋友！她是我大学同学，我们都两年没见了！

Jessica: Oh wow, sounds like you guys go way back!

YM: 可不！她可是我的标准闺蜜！My best friend!

Jessica: Actually in English, you can call her your BFF. BFF stands for Best Friend Forever. People use this term to refer to their best friends.

YM: 原来BFF就是永远的好朋友！Yes, she's definitely my BFF! We were college classmates and lived in the same dorm for four years. 我们特别铁，无话不谈。咦，这个“铁”用英文要怎么说呢？

Jessica: You can say: we are tight! Tight是关系紧密的意思，也就是说你们特别铁！

YM: 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?

Jessica: 哈哈……that sounds like a frenemy of yours. Frenemy consists of friend and enemy, it is basically half friend and half enemy!

YM: 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。

Jessica: Sounds like a love-hate relationship to me!

YM: 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……

Jessica: 哈哈，开心点！Before you go, tell me what you've learned today!

YM: 今天我们学到的内容包括:
