　　俗语说：“在家靠父母，出门靠朋友。”朋友在每个人的一生中都扮演着重要的角色，不过具体是什么角色还要看朋友的属性来分，有些是bosom friend(知己)，福祸与共;有些是acquaintance(泛泛之交)，点头就过;还有一些则是frenemy(友敌)，笑脸相迎，背后暗战。
        　　"Frenemy" is a portmanteau of "friend" and "enemy" which can refer to either an enemy disguised as a friend or to a partner who is simultaneously a competitor. The term is used to describe personal, geopolitical, and commercial relationships both among individuals and groups or institutions. The word has appeared in print as early as 1953.
