朋友分为很多种，有的是可以患难与共的真朋友，有的只不过是“酒肉朋友”。

“酒肉朋友”，字面意思是“friends only for wining and dining together”，比喻只可一起享乐而不干正经事的朋友，或可共安乐而不能共患难的朋友，与英文“fair-weather friend”意思相同，表示“a person who is dependable in good times but is not in times of trouble”。

例句：

我以为艾莉森和我关系很铁，但当她在我离婚后不再和我说话时，我才知道她只是另一个酒肉朋友。

I thought Allison and I had a strong friendship, but I learned she was just another fair-weather friend when she stopped talking to me after my divorce.

忠实的朋友是那些会支持你的人，而酒肉朋友却会对你不理不睬。

True friends are those who will stand by you, whereas fair-weather friends will ignore you.
