* y4 R7 q* B6 }" }比较有意思的词,不过这两部词典的解释略有点不同,似乎main可以单独来理解。

只是觉得翻译成“最要好的女朋友”不妥,“最要好”有点太不够意思了吧?——最要好的女性朋友我倒是完全接受。4 e4 @: Y( V, A6 b

即使像《韦氏词典》当中解释的 main boyfriend or girlfriend,私以为 main 更偏向于“最重要的”,而不是“最要好的”,如果引申的话,那就是“挚爱的”。
- i0 f6 `. c* K" Y9 U4 F$ mODE 当中的例句:
: P& e' J4 `; W3 R6 |' i# X1. Their songs were tailor-made for top-down summer twilight drives through Fairmount Park with your main squeeze., @& m8 c- j: p* X$ U
2. Now, Adele, who was once his main squeeze and still carries a torch for him, must convince him to give up his drinking and start swinging the clubs again.5 V; b, n. g+ m& y/ Y
3. Ever been through a horrendous break up with your main squeeze and felt lonely, upset, tired and unloved?
z, [ C# `4 ^) J b这些例句当中的 main squeeze 我觉得翻译成“男/女朋友”——如果真要纠结于 main 的话,则“挚爱(的男/女朋友)”——即可。/ z C7 z# ~) Y) H! r/ p% E2 a
