于是，这条短语的意思就是“不能共患难的酒肉朋友”(a friend who is present in times of success but absent in times of trouble)。
例如：
I cannot believe that John was a fair-weather friend of mine, because he has promised to help me whenever necessary.
我不信约翰会是个不能共患难的朋友，因为他曾经许诺在任何需要的时候给予我帮助。
It is not easy to see through a fair-weather friend.
看透假朋友的本质不是容易的。
