While everyone feels great about having a large group of friends, the truth is that many of our relationships are based on opportunity. So you could be friends with people you work with every day, a shopkeeper who you see almost every other day, or members of a sports club or other activity that you see nearly every week.

虽然我们每个人都会因为有一大群朋友感到很棒，但事实上我们的许多关系都是以机会为基础的。所以你可以与你每天一起工作的人，几乎每隔一天就看见你的店主，运动俱乐部以及几乎每周看的其他活动的成员成为朋友。

With relationships being largely¹ focused on activities or physical proximity², it is possible that your friends do not know a lot about you. Here are 4 things your friends may not know about you or you may not know about them.

这种关系大多数是集中于活动或者身体的接近，很可能你的朋友对你了解的很少。下面是你的朋友或许不了解你的或者不知道的4件事。

1. What you really do

1.你真正的职业

Many people openly admit they do not know what their friends do for a living. Most friends have a general idea of each other’s line of work, but they are actually surprised when they learn the exact details.

许多人都公开承认他们并不知道他们的朋友以什么谋生。大多数朋友对对方的工作线只是有一个大致的概念，但是当他们知道具体细节的手，他们实际上感到很吃惊。

2. What your password is

2.你的密码

Now granted³, this may not be the case with everyone, but a lot of people have one or more trustworthy friends who know the passwords to their phone, computer, or email just in case of an emergency.

现在同意吧，这或许并不适用于所有人，但是大多数人有一个或者更多值得信赖的朋友，他们会知道你的手机、电脑或者邮件密码，为了防止紧急情况。

3. What TV shows you secretly love

3.你私底下喜爱的电视节目

So you are a guy who enjoys romantic comedies, or a girl who loves to watch action movies but guess what – most of your friends will not be aware of what TV shows you enjoy. And of course, it does not help that you pretend to love whatever show your entire group is talking about.

所以你是喜欢浪漫爱情剧的男人，或者是喜欢看动作片的女孩，但是猜一下——你的大多数朋友不会知道你喜欢看什么电视节目。而且当然，即使你假装喜欢整个朋友圈都在讨论的电视节目，也没什么用。

4. How bad you are at technology

4.你在科技方面有多弱

Now you should be fairly proficient⁴ with your cell phone and in using a computer, but there are just some things that no one gets right. Most of your friends would be horrified⁵ if they saw you use a computer that slow – this works⁶ the other way around too.

现在你应该对手机和电脑操作非常的熟练，但是也有一些事情是没有人弄明白的。大多数朋友在看到你操作电脑非常慢的时候，会感到害怕——如果你看到你的朋友电脑操作很烂的时候，你也会感到很诧异。
