前任男友

1. Ex-Boyfriends

A big fat “DUH” better have escaped from your lips when you read this, but it merits mention on this list. For your close, “sisterhood of the traveling pants” gaggle of girlfriends, this is one thing that will NEVER work out well. Let’s face it, unless you are a woman who considers “exes” guys you’ve had two or three dinners with, keep your ex boyfriends where they belong: trolling the streets wondering why they let you go. Oh and nowhere near any of your dear friends.
你的前任男友。如果你不是一个把自己的前任男友看作一个只是吃过一两顿饭的人,请不要和你的闺蜜再讨论他了。

香水

2. Perfume

Sound silly? Think again. I recall the ‘Great Perfume Debacle of 2002’ when Jess bought the same perfume as Briana. What’s worse, Bri had worn this same perfume for like five years or something. It was her signature scent, a part of her identity almost. You obviously can’t stop anyone from buying your perfume, but for the sake of your individuality, try and keep your scent to yourself. You’ll be glad you did.
香水。一个女人的香水有时就是一个女人的象征,如果你告诉闺蜜自己的香水,一定程度上在扼杀自己的个性。

嫉妒心

3. Jealousy

You may argue that this is not something you really “share” with your girlfriends, but I beg to differ. Everyone knows what it feels like when someone you are close to isn’t happy when something good happens to you. It’s the worst gift you can unknowingly give to your friend. When Clare gets a new car, Lauren gets a boyfriend, or Annie gets a promotion, fight the urge to dance with that little green monster. Your friendships will be much stronger because of it.
嫉妒心。众所周知,当你熟知的人好运当头,我们总是不自觉第感到嫉妒。所以当你事业提升了,买了一辆新车等等,不要喜形于色,让闺蜜感到嫉妒,这样你们的友谊会更长久坚固。

恶习

4. Bad Habits

They say misery loves company but if you find yourself in the trenches of a new bad habit, resist the urge to share the experience and pull one of your girlfriends down with you. Whether its late night runs to McDonalds, smoking, cursing or gossiping, don’t tempt one of your friends to fall in step with your vice of the month.
恶习。人们总说“物以类聚,人以群分”。但是请注意,当你接触到恶习时,最好不要拖你的闺蜜一起下水。

药方

5. Prescriptions

Ok seriously, I don’t care how close you are. Don’t play Grey’s Anatomy and swap pills. This may sound like an innocent idea but it can get scary fast.
药方。不要学《实习医生格蕾》那样,交换药品。

不喜欢的食物

6. Food That Tastes/Smells Bad

This is just one of my pet peeves. You know the scene: a good friend of yours gets something at a restaurant, takes a bite, makes a grimace and says “Oh my gosh this is awful, taste/smell this.” Be the change you wish to see in the world; try instead to share with friends whenever you order something fantastically delicious.
自己不喜欢的食物。如果你并不喜欢自己点的食物,那么请弃之而不要请自己的闺蜜帮你鉴定一下。

染眉毛油

7. Mascara

Most of the time sharing makeup is one of the best parts about getting ready with your girlfriends. There is an exception though, according to most doctors. Mascara is one of the germiest of makeup accessories and can turn into a weapon of bacteria and infection when shared. And as much as I love my girlfriends, I love my vision more.
染眉毛油。不否认,和闺蜜一起分享化妆品可以增进你们的友谊,但是医生叮嘱,在所有化妆品中染眉毛油最容易带细菌,很不卫生。

坏情绪

8. Negativity

This is one of those things that is as contagious as the swine flu. If you are in a mood and want to complain and moan about work, men, traffic, etc, it certainly is ok to vent to your girlfriends. The problem comes, however, when you pick one thing and become the notorious Debbie Downer about it. Do not force your friends to share in this ongoing outlook. In enough time, they will start associating you with the sound effect “Wah Wahhhhh.”
坏情绪。心情不好就像猪流感一样,传染很快。你可以向她们抱怨自己的工作,生活,事业,但不要强迫她们和你一起抱怨,难受。

借钱

9. Money

I’m not talking about sharing five dollars here or 20 dollars there. I’m talking about loans of substantial porportion. I have seen with my own two eyes (the same two that are not sharing bacteria with any of my friends thankyouverymuch) friendships completely fall apart under the stress and pressure of money issues. Money is sticky enough to navigate on your own, but add in another person’s emotions and you have the fuel for a destructive fire. Avoid lending large amounts of money to your girlfriends at all costs. It just may save your friendship.

At their foundation, friendships truly are about sharing life together. Moments of joy, moments of sadness, adventures, phases, relationships, highs, lows, fashion trends, fashion mistakes, films, music, laughter, love, faith, hope.

But the key is focusing your efforts on sharing the good stuff and not on spreading the bad.
借大量的钱。少借一点钱应急是可以的,但涉及到大数目就容易引起麻烦了。
