Can and women ever be “just friends”? Few other questions have provoked debates as intense, family dinners as awkward, literature as lurid, or movies as memorable. Still, the question remains unanswered. Daily experience suggests that non-romantic friendships between males and females are not only possible, but common—men and women live, work, and play side-by-side.

异性恋的男女可以做到“只是朋友”吗？没有别的问题可以像这个问题一样引出热烈的讨论了：像家宴一样尴尬，像文学一样动人，像电影一样难忘。而这个问题依然没有得到解答。日常经验表明，男女之间不带浪漫色彩的纯友谊关系不仅可能，而且十分普遍——男女可以一起生活、工作、并肩玩乐。

However, the possibility remains that this apparently platonic coexistence is merely a façade. New research suggests that there may be some truth to this possibility—that we may think we’re capable of being “just friends” with members of the opposite sex, but the opportunity (or perceived opportunity) for “romance” is often lurking just around the corner, waiting to pounce at the most inopportune moment.

然而，这种柏拉图式的共处可能只是表面现象。新的研究显示，虽然这种可能性也许是有事实依据的：我们可能认为自己有能力和异性“只做朋友”，然而“浪漫”的机会（或者说感觉到的机会）通常就藏在某个角落，等待一个最不凑巧的时刻迸发。
