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。

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”。 X5 r; j# D5 ]3 A% N! H. \
ODE 当中的例句:

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.
. f) q% C6 P7 d- s( I3. Ever been through a horrendous break up with your main squeeze and felt lonely, upset, tired and unloved?; h! h* n1 M# j) x
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。
