看Friends 学英语 第一季 第三集 103. The One With the Thumb
[Scene: Central Perk, everyone but Phoebe is there.]
-Phoebe: (entering) Hi guys!
大家好！
-All: Hey, Pheebs! Hi!
嗨，Pheebs！
-Ross: Hey. Oh, oh, how'd it go?
‘d= had =did =should =would
嗨，你的约会怎么样？
-Phoebe: Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway and said 'We should do this again!'
subway: 地铁
不怎么样。他送我到地铁，说：“我们当时应该再做一次。”
-All: Ohh. Ouch.
噢。
-Rachel: What? He said 'we should do it again', that's good, right?
什么？他说：‘我们当时应该再做一次’，那是不很好吗，对吧？
-Monica: Uh, no. Loosely translated 'We should do this again' means 'You will never see me naked'.
loosely translated: 泛泛地解释为 loosely: 松弛地,宽松地 translate: 翻译 naked: 裸体的
不，‘我们应该再约一次’一般可以理解为‘你将再也看不到我的裸体。’
-Rachel: Since when?
since: 自从
什么时候开始的？
-Joey: Since always. It's like dating language. You know, like 'It's not you' means 'It is you'.
dating: 约会
【Phoebe: Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway and said 'We should do this again!'Phoebe同一个男人出去约会回来告诉大家，那个男人怎么和她说的。“We should do this again”，表面上好像是以后我们还应该再继续约会，其实这是dating language，往往都是反着说的。Phoebe说完之后，大家都明白了，只有可爱的Rach傻乎乎的不明所以，还在那里夸好，于是大家只好半是卖弄半是教她的举了其他一些例子。比如“It's not you'”就是“It is you”，】
一直这样的。这是约会用语。就像‘问题不是出在你’其实就是‘就是你’。
-Chandler: Or 'You're such a nice guy' means 'I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you'.
date leather-wearing alcoholics: 与总穿着皮裤又酗酒的人约会 leather: 皮革 alcoholic: 酒鬼 complain: 抱怨,悲叹,控诉
还有‘你真好’意思是‘我要和总穿着皮裤又酗酒的人约会…，然后向你抱怨.
-Phoebe: Or, or, you know, um, 'I think we should see other people' means 'Ha, ha, I already am'.
还有，你知道，恩，‘我想我们应该约约其他人’意思是‘哈哈，我已经约过了。’
-Rachel: And everybody knows this?
你们大家都知道这些？
-Joey: Yeah. Cushions the blow.
cushion: 垫子，加垫子 blow: 吹，打击【可怜的Rach问是不是只有她是颗嫩草，善解人意的Joey来了这么一句，cushion是垫子的意思，用垫子承接打击，当然是放轻松点的意思咯。这可以作为固定用法记下来。】
对。免得太伤人。
-Chandler: Yeah, it's like when you're a kid, and your parents put your dog to sleep, and they tell you it went off to live on some farm.
kid: 小孩 put your dog to sleep对狗实施安乐死 go off: 走开，离开
没错。就像小时候父母对小狗实行安乐死，父母骗小孩那样，说它跑到别人家的农场去了。
-Ross: That's funny, that, no, because, uh, our parents actually did, uh, send our dog off to live on a farm.
send sb off: 打发某人走，送走
太有意思了。不过，我们的父母倒真的把我们家的狗送到农场去了。
-Monica: Uh, Ross.
嗯，Ross。
-Ross: What? Wh- hello? The Millners' farm in Connecticut? The Millners, they had this unbelievable farm, they had horses, and, and rabbits that he could chase and it was- it w- .....Oh my God, Chi Chi!
unbelievable: 难以置信的 Connecticut: 康涅狄格(美国东北部州名) rabbit: 兔子 chase: 追捕,追逐
什么？怎么了？Millner家的农场不是在Connecticut吗？Millner家有很棒的农场，有马，兔子，狗儿在那儿可以追……，噢，我的天，奇奇！
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Chandler is helping Joey rehearse for a part.]

-Chandler: "So how does it feel knowing you're about to die?"

-Joey: "Warden, in five minutes my pain will be over. But you'll have to live with the knowledge that you sent an honest man to die."

“Warden,5分钟后我的痛苦就会结束,而你会因葬送一个诚实的人而痛苦一生。”

a pack of: 一包 cigarette: 香烟 lighter: 打火机 fumble: 笨拙的处理 take a drag: 抽一口（烟） cough: 咳嗽
-Chandler: I think this is probably why Damone smokes in his cell alone.

(Joey lets his wrist go.)
wrist: 手腕
-Chandler: Not so much!

-Chandler: It's fine, it's fine. Look, do you wanna get this part, or not? Here.
part: 角色
好吧，好吧。我无所谓了。你想不想得到这个角色？给我吧。
(Joey reluctantly gives him the cigarette.)
reluctantly: 勉强
-Chandler: Don't think of it as a cigarette. Think of it as the thing that's been missing from your hand. When you're holding it, you feel right. You feel complete.
missing: 想念 hold: 抓住，拿 complete: 满足的
别把它当成香烟，把它当成是你的手想念多时的东西。夹着它你会感到自在、感到满足。
-Joey: You miss it?
你想念它？
-Chandler: Nah, not so much. Alright, now we smoke. (Takes a puff.) Oh.. my.. God. (He continues to smoke.)
continue: 继续
不，不是很想。好了，现在吸烟。（吸了一口）噢，我的天。
-Joey: Chandler give me that!
Chandler,把它给我.
-Chandler: No. You’ve got options. You can smoke like this? or you can hold it in your mouth.

你在说什么？我们都爱Schhteve，Schhteve很性--感！抱歉。【monica之前在perk里谈到她前一个男友总被他们嘲笑，原因就是那个男的说话舌头不直，Chandler还学他说：“We love Schhteve! Schhteve was schhexy!”这次alan见面也开玩笑学着说“schho much ”，所以大家都笑了。】
-Monica: Look, I don't even know how I feel about him yet. Just give me a chance to figure that out.
figure out: 弄清楚，想清楚【口语高频词组】
各位，我连自己对他有什么感觉都还不知道，给我点时间想清楚。

-Monica: I know. I just wish that once, I'd bring a guy home that they actually liked.
这我知道。我只是希望带一个他们真正满意的男人回家。
-Paula: Well, you do realize the odds of that happening are a little slimmer if they never get to meet the guy..
realize: 了解,实现 the odds: 机会，运气 odds: 不平等，机率 happen: 发生 the slim odds微乎其微的可能性 slim: 微小的

嗨，Alan.
-Alan: I've heard schho much about all you guyschh!
我对各位是如——雷贯耳呀。（显然Alan也听过Steve大舌头的事。）
(Everyone laughs.)
[Time lapse, Alan is leaving.]
-Monica: (to Alan) Thanks. I'll call you tomorrow. (Alan exits, to all) Okay. Okay, let's let the Alan-bashing begin. Who's gonna take the first shot, hmm?
Alan-bashing: 攻击Alan bash: 怒殴 shot: 发射，开火【这段话很多人讨论过，主要集中在Alan-bashing上，其实之前Monica已经是下了很大的决心要带Alan同大家见面，心里已经做好了被挖苦的准备了（之前的wine guy,还有那个说话漏风的家伙等等一定让她被讽刺的很不爽），不过这次大家总算给足了面子，包括为了抽烟而宁愿在走廊淋的浑身湿透的Chandler（dripping wet）,Monica一定觉得怪怪的，所以才会等Alan一走就面向大家：好了，现在开始Alan的批判会吧！（Alan-bashing是个有趣的组合，我们也可以用的，比如看到Antique欺负谁了，也可以来个Antique-bashing嘛。“take the first shot”也值得记下，各种场合都可以用，“谁先来？】
谢谢。我明天打电话给你。（Alan走了，转向大家）好了，现在开始向Alan开火，谁先来？
-Monica: C'mon!

我认为Alan应成为未来男朋友的标准。
-Rachel: What future boyfriends? Nono, I th- I think this could be, you know, it.

-Chandler: Oh, yeah. I'd marry him just for his David Hasselh of impression alone. You know I'm gonna be doing that at parties, right? (Does the impression)
impression: 印象 do the impression: 模仿表情
是的，光凭他学David Hasselh的样子，我就想嫁给他了。我要在派对上学他。【David Hasselh: 戴维·哈塞霍夫是著名的歌手兼偶像，曾主演过《霹雳游侠》和《杰克和海德》。】
-Ross: You know what I like most about him, though?

-Monica: Fantastic! I have one question: How is that possible?
Fantastic: 极好的,难以相信的 possible: 可能
太棒了！我有个问题：这怎么可能？
-Joey: Alan.
全靠Alan.
-Ross: He was unbelievable.
unbelievable: 难以置信的
他太不可思议了。
He was like that-that-that Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs is playing all the positions, right,
bugs: 疯狂的 bunny: <儿>小兔子 position: 位置
他就像兔巴哥卡通片中的兔巴哥一样守着每个位置。
but instead of Bugs it was first base-Alan, second base-Alan, third base-...
instead of: 代替，而不是【Bugs Bunny 罗斯等和阿兰出去打球，阿兰身手矫健，在所有关键的位置上出现。Ross形容他就像著名的动画片“兔巴哥(Bugs Bunny)”里面打垒球的“兔巴哥”，一会在一垒，一会在二垒，一会又在三垒。】
我们没有兔巴哥，但我们有一垒 Alan，二垒 Alan，三垒 Alan……
-Rachel: I mean, it-it was like, it was like he made us into a team.
我意思是，就像，他使我们成了一个团队。
-Chandler: Yep, we sure showed those Hassidic jewellers a thing or two about softball..

是的，我们让哈西德珠宝商队见识了什么叫垒球。
-Monica: Can I ask you guys a question? Do you ever think that Alan is maybe.. sometimes..
能问你们一个问题吗？你们是否认为Alan可能有时……
-Ross: What?
怎么样?
-Monica: ..I dunno, a little too Alan?
dunno =I do’t know <口>(我)不知道
我也说不上来，有点太 Alan了？
-Rachel: Well, no. That's impossible. You can never be too Alan.
怎么会，不可能的，你不可能变得太Alan。
-Ross: Yeah, it's his, uh, innate Alan-ness that-that-that we adore.
innate: 内在的 adore: 崇拜，喜爱
没错，这就是他。我们欣赏的就是Alan那种天性。
-Chandler: I personally could have a gallon of Alan.
personally: 亲自，个人 a gallon of: 一加仑的【是Chandler用来表达对alan喜欢程度的一个笑话罢，好像“日有三省”中的"三" 一样，并非实指多少次，而是暗指“数量多，程度深”。】
我个人可以喝下一加伦的Alan。
[Scene: A street, Phoebe walks up to a homeless person (Lizzie) she knows.]
homeless: 无家可归的
-Phoebe: Hey, Lizzie.
你好，Lizzie.
-Lizzie: Hey, Weird Girl.

-Phoebe: I brought you alphabet soup.
alphabet: 字母表 soup: 汤【alphabet soup:母汤是一种罐头汤，里面是切成ABC字母图案的细面条，让小朋友边喝汤边把里面的字母排成单词来玩。而美国儿音背诵元音的口诀是：A, E, I, O, U, sometimes Y. 字母Y是半元音，有时候会当辅音使用，所以Phoebe觉得它不全然算元音，就保留在汤里了，并特意还强调 sometimes Y这个口诀。】
我给你带字母汤来了。
-Lizzie: Did you pick out the vowels?
pick out: 挑出 vowel: 元音
元音字母都挑出来了？
-Phoebe: Yes. But I left in the Ys. 'Cause, you know, "sometimes y". Uh, I also have something else for you. (She searches in her purse.)
search: 搜寻，寻找
是的，但我留下了字母“ Y”，因为，你知道，“sometimes Y”……我还带了其他东西给你。

Saltine: 撒盐饼干
咸饼干？

是啊，因为不然的话有顾客就会拿到他们真正点的东西了。
-Rachel: Ohh-ho-hooohhh. The hair comes out, and the gloves come on.
glove: 手套【gloves:是从一句俗语来的,其实就相当于 hurt somebody。我估计是从拳击那边引过来的，as in boxing gloves. 本来Rachel是站在phoebe一条战线上的（she thinks phoebe's chewing hair is endearing），没想到Pheobe“恩将仇报”的讽刺了她一回，Rachel觉得被出卖了，所以说Phoebe has the gloves on.说有时候你还会听到类似的说法：“not lay a glove(fingure or hand) on”， which means leave unhurt.】

你能相信吗？知道吗？我（对那个男的）毫无感觉。我意思是，他们有感觉，而我却没感觉。
