5 b9 ]$ O& g- {# m6 v3 Q* ]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。: |% H. r! `: D; G

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。) \: ~" I. [& O, n- ? E6 L4 W

5 Z t# }& O/ |* s" a' T套用优乐美的广告:我是你的什么?你是我最要好的女朋友。啊?原来我只是“最要好”的女朋友啊···

) \ e* f2 Y1 ]& t* B+ t3 BODE 当中的例句:3 U$ \9 }, y3 t' k2 c) s4 H/ r) x
1. Their songs were tailor-made for top-down summer twilight drives through Fairmount Park with your main squeeze.4 B! b6 p" f) t9 w8 {& u! ~2 S6 n7 e
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.

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。5 t9 \; b) @1 l+ H$ N) @, G" l
饱受翻译诟病的《新牛津》是这样翻的,觉得还不错:
