alter-ego
意味: A second self or alternative personality, often one that contrasts with a person's usual character; also, an intimate and trusted friend who is virtually another version of oneself.
Alter ego is used in both psychology and popular culture. In literary and artistic contexts, it describes a character through whom an author or performer expresses a hidden side of their personality. In everyday speech, it can refer to a close confidant or collaborator so like-minded as to seem a second self. The term is frequently encountered in discussions of superheroes, pen names, and stage identities.
