没错，Ross，我们知道他们的杂志里有女人裸体的照片。

没错，他们登笑话，采访稿，
Hard-hitting journalism. It’s not just about the pictures.

瞧这，头一条就是我的。
(They all laugh indifferently, except Chandler, who’s a little angry.)

很有趣，更有趣的是，这笑话是我编的。

什么？
-Chandler: I made that joke up.
这笑话是我编的。
-Ross: Uh, oh-oh, no you didn’t. I did.
不，不，不对，这是我编的。

是我编的。我在上班的时候把它讲给Dan，
And he said it was the funniest joke he’d ever heard.
他说这是他听过的最好的笑话。
-Ross: Hey, tell Dan ‘Thanks.’
嘿，替我谢谢Dan。
(Rachel is looking at the magazine and laughing.)
-Ross: What?
怎么了？
-Rachel: I’m sorry; I was just reading the joke below it. Man, that one is funny. (Ross grabs the magazine away from her.)
grab: 抓取，抢去
对不起，我在看下面那则笑话，啊，它真搞笑。
-Chandler: Monica, you remember me telling you that joke, right?
Monica，你记得我给你讲过这个笑话，对吗？
-Monica: No.
不记得。
-Chandler: Seriously?
真的？
-Monica: Well, you tell a lot of jokes!
你的笑话讲的太多了！
-Ross: Look, Chandler, it’s my joke.
听着Chandler，这是我的笑话。
But, hey, if it makes you feel any better they don’t print the name,
但是，嘿，他们没有印我的名字，也许这让你好过一点。
So it doesn’t really matter who gets credit, right?
credit: 荣誉赞扬功劳
所以究竟该归功于谁并不重要，对吧？
-Chandler: Yeah, I guess.
对，我想是。
-Joey: (entering) Hey guys.
嘿，诸位。
-Chandler: (jumping up from his chair) Hey, Joey, Playboy printed my joke.
嘿Joey，《花花公子》登出了我的笑话。
-Ross: No, it’s mine, it’s my joke. You can call them, they’ll tell you.
不，这是我的笑话，是我的。你可以给他们打电话，他们会告诉你的。

是我的笑话。

哇呜！笑话？你们肯定知道里面有裸体小妞，对吧？
[Scene: Joey’s apartment, Joey is sitting at the counter as Chandler enters.]
-Chandler: Dude, you have got to turn on Behind the Music. The band Heart is having a really tough time, and I think they may break up.
break up: (乐队)解散【Behind the Music,VH1：钱德勒要到乔伊这里来看电视，因为莫尼卡要看烹调节目，而他想看VH1台的《音乐的背后(Behind the Music)》节目。VH1是MTV旗下的一个音乐台，《音乐的背后》是其著名的专题节目，主要是一些有关音乐界的独家专访和调查】
伙计快换台到Behind the Music（节目名），HEART乐队现在的日子可不好过，我猜他们要解散了。
-Joey: Let’s go watch it at your place.
咱们到你那看去吧。
-Chandler: Nah, Monica’s watching some cooking show. Come on, I don’t want to miss when they were skinny.
skinny: <俚>细小的【第一手】
不行，Monica在看烹饪节目。快，我可不想错过第一手消息
-Joey: Chandler, Chandler, y’know what we should do? You and I should go out and get some new sunglasses.
sunglasses: 墨镜
Chandler，Chandler，知道咱们应该干点什么？咱们应该出去逛逛，买些太阳镜。
-Chandler: What? No, I want to watch this. (He turns on the television and the screen is completely covered in snow). Did your cable go out?
completely: 彻底地 cable: 有线电视电缆【全美共有差不多800多个电视频道，这些电视频道被分为三类：以广告收入为主的电视台，如ABC、 CBS、NBC、FOX、 UPN 、WB这样的电视台，不收钱，观众打开电视想看就能看，电视台靠广告赚钱，收视率就成为广告商选择是否投入的绝对硬指标；第二类，是有线频道，像FX 、TNT 、USA、 BRAVO这样的有线电视频道，观众想看要交钱，不过交的不多，频道单靠这笔收入无法生存，所以频道还是会有广告，不过插播的数量和频率不像第一类电视台那么高；最后就是像HBO、SHOWTIME这样的付费频道。观众想看，就需要交纳一笔为数不小的费用。付费频道没有广告，节目不需要送审，收视率和广告赞助不再成为套在节目制作人头顶上的紧箍咒。这就意味着一些大胆，先锋且富有前卫意识的创新之作，不会因顾虑受众的承受能力而妥协、放弃甚至整体地被否决，埋葬。】
什么？不！我要看电视。你的有线电视坏了？
-Joey: No, that’s VH-1. I gotta tell you,
没有，那是VH-1。我得说，
The music these kids listen to today . . . It’s like a lotta noise to me. I don’t know…
lotta：=lot of<口语>许多
不知道为什么，我觉得今天这些家伙的音乐太吵了。
-Chandler: Joey, why is your cable out?
be out: 没有了 cable: 有线电视
Joey，为什么你的有线电视没了？
-Joey: I uh, oh! Because, uh, I haven’t really paid the bill
我..因为，其实是因为我没有交费。
-Chandler: If you need money, would you please-please just let me loan you some money?
loan: 借给，借
如果你需要钱，可不可以请你允许我借给你？
-Joey: No, Chandler. Look, forget about it, okay?
不Chandler。听着你别放在心上，好吗？
Look, I know things have been a little tight since Janine moved out. Oh, was she hot.
tight: (经济)拮据的
自从Janine搬走以后，我手头确实有点紧。不过，她真的很辣。
-Chandler: Whoa ho.
哇呜。
-Joey: I know! Yeah, but, look I can handle it. All right?
我知道！但是我能解决，好吗？
Look, I can listen to the radio, huh? And Ross gave me this great book (holds up the Playboy magazine).
瞧，我可以听收音机，而且罗斯给了我这本好看的杂志。
-Chandler: (picks up the phone) All right, you want to see if the joke stealer will let us watch the show at his place?
stealer: 剽窃者
好吧，想不想到笑话剽窃者那去，看看能不能在他那看电视？
-Joey: Sure.
好。
-Chandler: (with phone to ear, obviously hearing no dial tone) Paid your phone bill?
电话费交了吗？
-Joey: Not so much.
没有。
[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Monica and Rachel are on the couch looking at the Playboy magazine. When they hear someone coming, Monica goes to hide it under the sofa cushions.]

-Phoebe: (entering) Hey.

-Monica: (relieved) It’s only you.
relieved: 放心的
还好，是你自己。
-Phoebe: Wh-wh-what are you doing?
你们在干-干什么？
-Rachel: We are looking at a Playboy.
我们在看《花花公子》
-Phoebe: Oh, I want to look too! (She runs over and sits down and checks out a picture). Yikes!
yikes: <口>(表示惊讶)呀!
噢，我也要看！耶！
-Monica: So do you think that these pictures—Are, are they trying to tell a story?
你们是否认为这些照片..试图在讲个什么故事？
-Rachel: Oh, yeah, sure. I mean, like in the case of this young woman,
in the case of: 在…情况下比如说
对，当然。我是说，比如这幅，这个年轻女士，
She has lost her clothes, so she rides naked on the horse, she’s crying out,
ride: 骑
弄丢了她的衣服，所以她光着身子，骑着马，大声叫，
Where are they, where are they?
衣服在哪，它们在哪？
-Monica: Well, she’s not going to find them lying in the grass like that.
当然她在草丛里仍然找不到，就象那样。
(They flip through the pages to another picture.)
-Phoebe: Oh, yeah. Aw, remember the days when you used to go out to the barn,
barn: 谷仓
你经常走出马厩，
Lift up your shirt, and bend over?

-Rachel and Monica: Yeah.
对。

你知道，我想和这个女孩约会。她很可爱很野性，
You know, and she knows how to build a fire. I mean, that’s got to come in handy
come in handy: 迟早有用派得上用场
哦，这副是：还记得那些日子，她知道怎样点燃激情。我的意思是，她垂手可得。
-Monica: Okay, I’ve got a question.
好吧，我有一个问题。
If you had to pick one of us to date, who would it be?
如果你得选择我们中一个做约会对象，你们会选谁？
-Rachel: (thinks) I don’t know.
我不知道。
-Monica: Me neither.
我也不知道。
-Phoebe: Rachel.
Rachel。
-Monica: What?!
什么！？
-Phoebe: I don’t know. (Pause) Me neither.
我不知道，我也不知道。
[Scene: Central Perk, Joey, Chandler, and Ross are sitting on the couch.]
-Joey: you know, you forget how many great songs Heart had.
HEART 乐队不知道有多少动人的歌。
-Chandler: Yeah.
没错。
-Ross: You know, Barracuda was the first song I learned to play on the keyboard.
keyboard: 键盘
【Barracuda：这是“心”乐队的一首名曲。乔伊、钱德勒和罗斯在聊“心”乐队，这是由姐妹俩安娜·威尔森和南希·威尔森组成的流行乐队。】
你知道，Barracuda是我学会弹的第一首歌。
-Chandler: So, you heard it, you repeated it, so that must mean you wrote it.
repeat: 重复
所以，你听到它，你弹了它，说明这首歌一定是你写的。
-Joey: Oh, you guys, with this joke. I gotta say,
嘿，伙计们，又是那个笑话。我得说，
I know I cracked up, but I’m not even sure I got it.
crack up: <俚>突然大笑
尽管我当时捧腹大笑，可我其实没看懂。

要知道猴子是不能开处方的。

不许你笑我的笑话。
-Ross: Your joke? Well, I think‘the Hef’ would disagree,
disagree: 不同意
你的笑话？要知道杂志社可不这么认为，
Which is why he sent me a check for one hundred ah-dollars.
【The Hef：《花花公子》的代称，最初是指杂志创办人和主编休·海夫纳(Huzh Hefner)】
否则就不会给我100美元的稿费。
-Chandler: So, you stole my joke, and you stole my money.
所以，你偷了我的笑话还偷了我稿费。

噢，你要干什么，跟着我去吗？
-Chandler: Yeah!
对！
-Ross: Well, I’m not going to go now anyway (he goes to sit down).

[Scene: Monica and Chandler’s bedroom, they are in bed together.]
-Monica: (visibly upset) She picked Rachel. I mean, she tried to back out of it,
visibly: 显然地 back out of it: 收回(说过的话)
她选择了Rachel。尽管她试图掩盖，
But it was obvious. She picked Rachel.
但这是明显的。她竟选择了Rachel。

我也觉得比较有趣。
-Monica: (angrily) It wasn’t funny at all!
一点也不有趣！
Why would you do that? Why didn’t you pick me?
你到底为什么要那样？为什么不选我？
-Phoebe: Fine. The reason that I was leaning a little bit more toward Rachel than you is just that you’re … just … kinda high maintenance—
high maintenance: <俚> 很难伺候
我之所以更倾向Rachel一点，是因为你有些挑剔。
Okay let’s go to lunch!
好吧。还是吃午饭去吧！

这肯定不是事实。你说我挑剔？
Okay, prove it. I want you to make a list and we’re going to go through it point by point!

You’re just not as easy-going as Rachel. She’s just more flexible and-and mellow. That’s all.

你只是不象Rachel那样随和。Rachel更温顺，更易相处，就这些。

I think that’s pretty strong, that’s what I think. Come on, Monica, let’s go to lunch. (She leaves)
我觉得够劲，我就是这么想的。快点，Monica, 我们去吃午饭。
-Monica: (to Phoebe) You start working on that list. (She grabs her coat and leaves, too.)
你应该这就列那个单子。
[Cut to the hallway.]
-Rachel: I cannot believe her.
她真不可思议。
-Monica: I know. Where do you wanna go eat?
没错。你想去哪吃？

-Ross: (showing the Playboy magazine to Gunther) Oh, hey, Gunther, check this out.
嘿，Gunther,瞧这个。
(Gunther looks at the joke and laughs.)
-Gunther: Yeah, that-that Chandler cracks me up.
Chandler真会搞笑。
(Ross begins to say something, realizes what Gunther just said, turns, and glares at Chandler. Chandler just shrugs it off.)
shrug off: 耸肩表示蔑视
-Joey: Hey Ross, listen, you want anything to drink,‘cause I’m heading up there.
嘿Ross,想喝点什么？因为我顺路过去。

-Monica: Joey, what are you doing?
Joey,你在干吗？
-Joey: Just being friendly. (He gives Monica a ‘what’s wrong with you?’ look and proceeds to walk behind the counter.)
friendly: 友好的
我只是乐于助人。
-Rachel: Joey, honey, I don’t think you’re supposed to go back there.
Joey，亲爱的，你不能到柜台后面去。

这没什么，对吧，Gunther?
-Gunther: Don’t wink at me. And put on your apron.
wink: 眨眼 apron: 围裙
别对我使眼色。戴上你的围裙。
-Joey: Okay, but I don’t see you asking any other paying customers to put on aprons.

好吧，可是你怎么不让其他顾客戴围裙呢？
-Monica: Joey, do you work here?
Joey, 你在这工作？
-Joey: No.
谁说的。
-Customer: Hey, waiter.
嘿，服务生。
-Joey: Yeah?
在！
[Scene: Central Perk, continued from earlier.]

Joey,到底怎么回事。你在这工作为什么不告诉我们？
-Joey: It’s kind of embarrassing, y’know. I mean,
embarrassing: 令人尴尬的
你知道，这有点难为情。我是说，
I was an actor and now I’m a waiter. It’s supposed to go in the other direction.
direction: 方向
我曾是个演员，现在却成了服务员。这有点背道而驰。
-Chandler: So is your apron. You’re wearing it like a cape.

-Joey: I mean, the job’s easy and the money’s good, you know?
这工作简单又能赚到钱。
I guess I’m going to be hanging out here anyway. I might as well get paid for it, right?

I just feel kind of weird serving you guys.
weird: 奇怪的 serve: 服务
我只是觉得招待你们几个有点别扭。

听着，Joey,我做过这行，我觉得很好。
-Ross: Yeah, why would it be weird? Hey, Joey, can I get some coffee?
对，这有什么别扭的？嘿Joey，我能要点咖啡吗？
-Joey: Okay, I guess it doesn’t seem that weird.
OK,是没什么可别扭的。
-Ross: Seriously, I-I asked you before and you still haven’t gotten it.
说真的，我早就点过咖啡，可你一直没给我。
-Joey: See, now it’s weird again.
瞧，我又觉得别扭了。
-Chandler: I think it’s great that you work here.
我觉得你在这工作真是棒极了。
You’re going to make a lot of money, and here’s your first tip:
tip: 小费
你能赚很多钱，你将得到第一份小费：
Don’t eat yellow snow. (He laughs, then picks up a pen, glares at Ross, and writes in his journal). Ah ha ha, 2:15, coffeehouse.
【Don’t eat yellow snow：小心别摔倒。来源于Frank Zappa的一首同名歌曲，原歌词为：Watch out where the huskies(n.哈士奇爱斯基摩犬) go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.】
那就是别喝黄雪（醉鬼在雪地小便的结果）哈哈，2：15，咖啡厅。
-Rachel: Well, you know what? This is great. Finally, I have someone I can pass on my wisdom to.
wisdom: 智慧
你知道吗，这太好了。我终于有机会传授我的智慧了。
Let me tell you about a couple of things I learned while working at the coffeehouse.
让我教你几招我在这工作时学到的经验。
First of all, the customer is always right.
首先，顾客永远是正确的。
(Joey nods.) A smile goes a long way. (Joey smiles) And if anyone is ever rude to you? Sneeze muffin.
go a long way: 大有帮助 sneeze: 打喷嚏 muffin: 妙芙
微笑通常都很奏效。如果有人对你无礼，就冲着他的松饼打喷嚏。

谢谢，Rach. 听着，你们真是太好了。
Now, how about clearing out of here so I can get some new customers.
clear out: <口>离开
现在你们是否可以请你们离开这，以便我招待一些新顾客。
It’s all about turnover.
turnover: 营业额
这全都是为了出于对营业额的考虑。
-Ross: Joey, seriously, can I get my coffee?
Joey,说真的，我要的咖啡呢？
-Joey: Oh, I’m sorry, Ross. I’ll get it for you right now.
哦，Ross我太抱歉了。我这就给你上。
And since I made you wait, I’ll toss in a free muffin.(He looks at Rachel and winks, she gives him the thumbs-up sign.)
toss: 扔 thumb: 拇指 sign: 暗示
既然让你恭候多时，我给你在咖啡里免费泡上一块松饼。
[Scene: Phoebe and Rachel’s, Phoebe is sitting on the couch as Rachel and Monica enter.]
-Rachel: Phoebe. We would like to talk to you for a second.
Phoebe，我们要跟你谈谈。
-Phoebe: Okay.
好啊。
-Monica: So, maybe I am a little high maintenance.
也许我是有点太挑剔，
And maybe Rachel is a little bit of a pushover.
也许Rachel也有点太软弱，
But you know what we decided you are?
但是你知道我们是怎么看你的？
-Rachel: Yes, we are very sorry to tell you this, but you, Phoebe, are flaky.
flaky: <俚>古里古怪的疯疯癫癫的
我们很抱歉对你说这个，但是，你，Phoebe,是个怪物。
-Monica: Hah!
哈！

说的对，我是个怪物。
-Rachel: So, what, you’re just, you’re just okay with being flaky?
怎么，你可以接受你是个怪物？
-Phoebe: Yeah, totally.
对，没问题。
-Monica: Well, then, I’m okay with being high maintenance.
好吧，那么我也可以接受我是个挑剔的人。
-Rachel: Yeah, and I am okay with being a pushover.
对，当个软弱的人也没什么。
-Phoebe: That’s great. Good for you guys.
太棒了，真为你们高兴。

我根本就不挑剔！
-Rachel: I am not a pushover!
我根本就不软弱！

谁这么说你们来着？
-Monica and Rachel: You did!
你！
-Phoebe: Oh, I’m flaky. I’ll say anything.
