"A third wheel" nghĩa là gì?

Trong đám bạn 3 người, kiểu gì cũng có 2 đứa chơi thân hơn và bỏ rơi 1 đứa còn lại. Photo courtesy: Hasse 

"A third wheel" hoặc "a fifth wheel" = bánh xe thứ ba/ thứ 5 -> người không quan trọng, thừa thãi (trong đám bạn), hay ví như cái bóng đèn. Giống như xe đạp cho cái bánh thứ 3 vào thì thành thừa ấy các bạn. 

Ví dụ 
What’s worse than being the third wheel to your best friend and their new significant other? 

As a former professional third wheel, I can say from personal experience that it is a humbling position to be in. You might try to convince yourself (tự thuyết phục) that, to outsiders, you appear to be three friends just all hanging out together. 

And while promoting the band's new single Easier, bassist (tay bass) Calum, 23, admitted he was 'angry for a split second' after internet memes circulated (lưu hành) in May, teasing the star for being a 'fifth wheel'. 

Before my current relationship, I was single for a long time, which means I've put in some pretty serious time as a third wheel. You know, the third person who hangs (sometimes awkwardly) out with a couple on the reg (làm điều hay làm).
