101 试播
瑞秋在教堂抛弃未婚夫巴利、逃婚到莫妮卡处。

莫妮卡和调酒师保罗约会，此君伪装成离婚后一蹶不振的苦命人，靠博取同情来骗女人上床。

罗斯婚姻失败，情绪低落。

乔伊安慰他说，女性的种类与冰激凌的品种一样多，离婚未尝不是好事。

大家一同看西班牙肥皂剧并信口瞎猜剧情。

罗斯自高中起即爱慕瑞秋，此刻死灰复燃，提议和她约会，瑞秋答应了
1.01 Pilot
Rachel leaves Barry at the alter and moves in with Monica.
Monica goes on a date with Paul the wine guy, who turns out to be less than sincere.
Ross is depressed about his failed marriage.
Joey compares women to ice cream.
Everyone watches Spanish soaps.
Ross reveals his high school crush on Rachel.
[Scene: Central Perk, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, and Monica are there.]
Monica: There's nothing to tell! He's just some guy I work with!
monica的扮演者Courtney Cox本是打算出演rach的，不过她后来看了剧本出演了monica，我觉得这个更适合她。

Monica这个角色原本为Janeane Garofalo（即24小时里的Janis Gold)准备，但她拒绝了这个角色
在two and a half man中也有她客串，但是可能是我看了friends之后更喜欢其中的亲情，友情和爱情这些比较温暖的东西，不喜欢two and a half man中的故事情节和搞笑的方式，所以只看了大概两季多就不看了。

Joey: C'mon, you're going out with the guy! There's gotta be something wrong with him!
go out with
出门，和某人约会
Chandler: So does he have a hump? A hump and a hairpiece?
hump n.驼背
hairpiece：false hair;wig n.假发
这是Chandler挖苦Paul的话，意思是：他有驼背么？有假发的秃子？
Phoebe: Wait, does he eat chalk?
(They all stare, bemused.)
bemused: puzzled adj.困惑的发呆的
Phoebe: Just 'cause I don't want her to go through what I went through with Carl- oh!
go through
经历, 经受, 仔细检查, 搜查, 参加, 履行, 被通过, 用完
Monica: Okay, everybody relax. This is not even a date. It's just two people going out to
dinner and- not having sex.
Chandler: Sounds like a date to me.
[Time Lapse]
lapse v.(时间)流逝
Chandler: Alright, so I'm back in high school, I'm standing in the middle of the cafeteria, and I realize I am totally…naked.
naked adj.赤裸的
cafeteria
n.自助餐厅
All: Oh, yeah. Had that dream.
Chandler: Then I look down, and I realize there's a phone... there.
Joey: Instead of...?
Chandler: That's right.
Joey: Never had that dream.
Phoebe: No.
Chandler: All of a sudden, the phone starts to ring，and it turns out it's my mother, which
is very-very weird, because- she never calls me!
all of a sudden adv.突然（这是一个很常用的用法，下面rach也用到）
weird adj.离奇的，古怪的（很常用的词）
[Time Lapse, Ross has entered.]
Ross: (mortified) Hi.
mortified adj.受羞辱的窘迫的
mortify v.使感屈辱使失面子使羞愧
[eg:The teacher was mortified by his own inability to answer such a simple question] Joey: This guy says hello, I wanna kill myself.
wanna = want to
Monica: Are you okay, sweetie?
Ross: I just feel like someone reached down my throat, grabbed my small intestine, pulled it out of my mouth and tied it around my neck...
reached down
我觉得这个可能不算是个词组，在口语中这么使用大家都能明白它的意思，意思是说有人把手伸进我的喉咙里面。

Her dress reached down to her ankles.
她的连衣裙垂至脚踝。

（这里的意思和上面不大一样，这得根据上下文来理解了）
pull sth out of
从...拿出某物
Pull the chestnut out of fire.
火中取栗。

Chandler: Cookie?
Monica: (explaining to the others) Carol moved her stuff out today.
Joey: Ohh.
Monica: (to Ross) Let me get you some coffee.
Ross: Thanks.
Phoebe: Ooh! Oh! (She starts to pluck at the air just in front of Ross.)
pluck v.拔去(鸡鸭等)毛扯拉
[eg:He plucked the letter from her hands]/pluck at：To remove abruptly(adv.唐突地) or
forcibly(adv.强制地)
Ross: No, no don't! Stop cleansing my aura! No, just leave my aura alone, okay? I'll be fine,
alright? Really, everyone. I hope she'll be very happy.
aura：a distinctive atmosphere surrounding a given source n.气氛灵气光环[eg: the place had an aura of mystery]
当时的场景是Ross进来跟大家诉说他的不幸婚姻，倒了霉运的他周身象是鬼神附身一般。

Phoebe 这人第一喜欢帮助人，第二她总是神叨叨的，大家还记得有一集里她看到一只猫，就说是她死去的妈吗？于是
Phoebe想帮Ross把霉运赶走，PhD Ross自然是反对封建迷信的，就对Phoebe说，意思是你别烦我了，省省吧。

Ross: Monica: No you don't.
Ross: No I don't, to hell with her, she left me!
to hell with<口>让...见鬼去去她该死的
Joey: And you never knew she was a lesbian...
Ross: No!! Okay?! Why does everyone keep fixating on that? She didn't know, how should I
know?
fixate on: to focus one’s gaze or attention on sth v.关注某事（挺好的词组，应该记住）Chandler: Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian... (They all stare at him.) Did I say that out loud?
loud在口语中用来替代loudly，所以这句话应该是did i say that out loudly?说实在的，我一直觉得这里用loud是不合乎语法的，但是口语中应该没问题，实际上口语中N多地方不符合语法，不必深究。

Joey: Alright Ross, look. You're feeling a lot of pain right now. You're angry. You're hurting. Can I tell you what the answer is?
(Ross gestures his consent.)
gesture
n.姿态, 手势, 表示
v.作手势, 以手势表示
consent vi.同意赞成
Joey: Strip joint! C'mon, you're single! Have some hormones.
strip v.剥去
joint：place通常指不那么高雅的地方
Strip joint: A nightclub(n.夜总会) or other establishment where striptease(n.脱衣舞) is
performed n.脱衣舞酒吧
前两天我同事问我strip什么意思，当然他是在一个函数的帮助里面看到这个词的，我当时看到感觉是说在一个串前后截掉一些东西的意思，后来我就觉得这个词很眼熟的样子，后来仔细想我之所以觉得眼熟是因为我对于stripper这个单词比较熟，呵呵。

stripper
Also called ecdysiast, exotic dancer, stripteaser. a person who performs a striptease.
当然这个词意思很多，我看到有8种，在电影里面有时候会听到这个词，以前上学时候看过一部片子，中文名字叫《脱衣舞娘》，相信很多男同胞们看过吧，那个片子的英文名字貌似是striptease。

hormone n. 荷尔蒙激素
Ross: I don't want to be single, okay? I just... I just- I just wanna be married again!
(Rachel enters in a wet wedding dress and starts to search the room.)
Chandler: And I just want a million dollars! (He extends his hand hopefully.)
Monica: Rachel?!
Rachel: Oh God Monica hi! Thank God! I just went to your building and you weren't there and
then this guy with a big hammer said you might be here and you are, you are!
Waitress: Can I get you some coffee?
Monica: (pointing at Rachel) De-caff. (to All) Okay, everybody, this is Rachel, another
Lincoln High survivor. (to Rachel) This is everybody, this is Chandler, and Phoebe, and Joey, and- you remember my brother Ross?
De－caff是不含咖啡因的咖啡。

当时Rach进来的时候很激动，Mon就让咖啡店的小姐给她一杯这样的咖啡，免得她更激动。

Somebody says that is a goof for friends:
In the pilot episode after Rachel runs into the café, Monica introduces her to Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe and says "Remember my brother Ross?". In later episodes it shows flashbacks that Chandler was at Monica's house while Rachel was there, so Rachel should have remembered Chandler when she got to the café, instead of being introduced for the first time there.
有人说这个地方是有个bug的，因为在后面的某集中有回忆的剧情，因为chan和ross是大学同学，所以rech在monica的家里面见过chan了，所以就不用介绍了，呵呵。

有些funs 会看的很仔细找到很多bug出来，后面还有很多呢。

Another goof: In the pilot episode, Chandler and Joey's apartment number is #4 while Monica and Rachel's is #5. Starting with this, the second episode, the numbers change to #19 and #20.
Rachel: Sure!
Ross: Hi.
(They go to hug but Ross's umbrella opens. He sits back down defeated again. A moment of
silence follows as Rachel sits and the others expect her to explain.)
Monica: So you wanna tell us now, or are we waiting for four wet bridesmaids?
bridesmaid n.女傧相
再过一会儿就会有四个被淋湿的伴娘来找Rachel. Monica 拿这个来开玩笑
Rachel: Oh God... well, it started about a half hour before the wedding. I was in this room where we were keeping all the presents, and I was looking at this gravy boat. This really gorgeous Lamauge gravy boat. When all of a sudden- (to the waitress that brought her coffee)Sweet 'n' Lo?- I realized that I was more turned on by this gravy boat than by Barry! And then I got really freaked out, and that's when it hit me: how much Barry looks like Mr. Potato Head. Y'know, I mean, I always knew looked familiar, but... Anyway, I just had to get out of there, and I started wondering 'Why am I doing this, and who am I doing this for?'. (to Monica) So anyway I just didn't know where to go, and I know that you and I have kinda drifted apart, but you're the only person I knew who lived here in the city.
Sweet 'n' Lo比较有名的代糖品牌
gravy n.肉汁
Gravy boat: An elongated, boat-shaped pitcher used to serve gravy. A gravy boat usually sits on a matching plate, which is used to catch gravy drips. Sometimes the plate is permanently attached to the pitcher. A matching ladle often accompanies a gravy boat. Also called sauce
gravy boat. 船行卤肉盘
Mr. Potato Head 瑞秋和众人谈到了她逃婚的原因，她说这是因为她突然发现她的未婚夫巴里医生长得活像“薯头先生(Mr．Potato Head)”，这是在美国家喻户晓的卡通人物。

如果大家看过《玩具总动员(Toy Story)》，就会在里面发现他和他的夫人“薯头太太(Mrs．Potato Head)”叽叽歪歪，经常批评这、批评那的形象。

尽管“薯头先生”很可爱，但卡通毕竟是卡通，如果你在乎未婚夫的容貌，而未婚夫又不幸长得和“薯头先生”一副嘴脸，你最好还是和瑞秋一样赶紧逃婚。

gorgeous adj.华丽的，灿烂的，极好的（挺常用的，尤其是形容什么东西超级好的时候）turn on a.打开(turn on the radio)b.指让某人更兴奋激动or引起人的性兴奋，这个turn on表示这个意思的时候通常都应该指性方面的冲动
freak out
a.have an extreme reaction to sth吓坏了
b.act abnormally (under the influence of drugs) 举止异常
c.make sb feel extreme plaesure or unease焦躁害怕不安
很常用的词组
drift apart
a.感情疏远
b.(两者)漂移
Monica: Who wasn't invited to the wedding.
Rachel: Ooh, I was kinda hoping that wouldn't be an issue.
kinda = kind of
sorta = sort of
口语中很常用，在friends里面总可以听到kinda，意思一般都是有点，这句话是说我有点希望那不是个问题。

[Scene: Monica's Apartment, everyone is there and watching a Spanish Soap on TV and are trying to figure out what is going on.]
Spanish Soap
西班牙肥皂剧，soap as slang，有肥皂剧的意思
Monica: Now I'm guessing that he bought her the big pipe organ, and she's really not happy about it.
pipe organ n.管风琴
Rachel: (on phone) Daddy, I just... I can't marry him! I'm sorry. I just don't love him. Well, it matters to me!
matter vi.有关系要紧
(The scene on TV has changed to show two women, one is holding her hair.)
这个地方我记得phoebe是有句台词的，也许是我手里面的剧本不是最终版的吧，没有这句。

Chandler: (re TV) Ooh, she should not be wearing those pants.
should be doing sth
ought/should与进行式连用时表示主语没有履行其义务，做了愚蠢、鲁莽的事等或做事不明
智、不慎重等这句话我一开始看到觉得蛮奇怪的，要是我说可能直接说she should not wear those pants，但是老外似乎不这么认为，这么说的用意应该是说主语本来不应该做某事，结果做了的意思。

这里是说她可真不应该穿那条裤子（但是她穿了）
We should be wearing seat belts．
我们应该系好安全带。

（但我们没有系安全带。

）
其实我觉得和语法死磕没什么大意思，不过看到了不死磕一下又不太爽。

Joey: I say push her down the stairs.
Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey: Push her down the stairs! Push her down the stairs! Push her down the stairs!
(She is pushed down the stairs and everyone cheers.)
Rachel: C'mon Daddy, listen to me! It's like, it's like, all of my life, everyone has always told me, 'You're a shoe! You're a shoe, you're a shoe, you're a shoe!'. And today I just stopped and I said, 'What if I don't wanna be a shoe? What if I wanna be a- a purse, y'know? Or a- or a hat! No, I'm not saying I want you to buy me a hat, I'm saying I am a ha- It's a metaphor, Daddy! metaphor:analogy n.隐喻类比
I’m not saying I want you to buy me a hat, it’s a metaphorshoe 就是鞋子的意思。

下文"it's a metaphor"，是个比喻！Rachel喜欢购物嘛，所以把服饰比喻成人的理想，别人告诉rachel 要成为一只鞋，rachel自己想做个"purse" 以鞋喻人生,职业、前途或者某一类人。

老爸老妈希望Rachel成为某一种人，Rachel自己却另有想法。

只不过Rachel想不到用什么比喻，所以用自己最喜欢的服饰作比喻。

Rachel喜欢逛街购物嘛.Shoe和Purse都是ladies的最爱。

shoe 是指要成双配对的生活，因为shoes是2只一起的，一只shoe永远需要另外一只。

purse就是独立的，自己可以生存的，不需要配对的。

Rachel: Look Daddy, it's my life. Well maybe I'll just stay here with Monica.
Monica: Well, I guess we've established who's staying here with Monica...
Well, I guess we've established who's staying here with Monica：Monica has no idea why Rachel said that. But she can't just abandon Rach at this critical time, so when her friends turned to her for a verification, she can't think of nothing to say except that: "Well, it seems to Rachel that I have already agreed on the whole moving in thing( that is established an agreement on her moving in), although I have nothing to do with it!!(Don't look at me in this weird way, guys!)"
这句话的语速极快，其实老外在说话的时候通常是3，4个音节就一带而过甚至根本就不发音。

Rachel: Well, maybe that's my decision. Well, maybe I don't need your money. Wait!! Wait, I said maybe!!
Rachel逃婚之后就不得不面对后果了她的老爸很生气，在电话里威胁说要经济制裁她，Rachel 一时嘴硬说："Well, maybe I don't need your money." 等她老爸真的把电话挂了之后，她又忙不迭地对着电话叫道："Wait!! Wait, I said maybe!"事已至此她只能借住在Monica的家里了。

[Time Lapse, Rachel is breathing into a paper bag.]
Monica: Just breathe, breathe.. that's it. Just try to think of nice calm things...
Phoebe: (sings) Raindrops on roses and rabbits and kittens小猫, (Rachel and Monica turn to look at her.) bluebells野风信子and sleighbells雪橇and- something with mittens棒球or拳击手套...
La la la la...something and noodles with string. These are a few...
Rachel: I'm all better now.
Phoebe: (grins and walks to the kitchen and says to Chandler and Joey.) I helped!
grin n.露齿笑, 裂口笑v.露齿而笑
Monica: Okay, look, this is probably for the best, y'know? Independence. Taking control of your life. The whole, 'hat' thing.
在这些事发生之前，Rachel可是一直靠在她那有钱的老爸身上的，所以Monica 才说：”哎，这可能是件好事呢，你想啊，这样你就能独立生活了。

”be for the best 是一个极其口语化的表达法，表示某件事情可能并不像看上去那么糟，也颇有点良药虽苦，其利于病的意思，比如：I know it's hard for you to leave him, but it's for the best.
Joey: (comforting her) And hey, you need anything, you can always come to Joey. Me and Chandler live across the hall. And he's away a lot.
接着号称情圣的Joey也跑来向Rachel表示："嗨，如果你需要什么尽管来找我好了。

" 实际上Joey和另一个"老友" Chandler就住在Monica的对门：Me and Chandler live right across the hall. 按语法讲，Joey应该说Chandler and I…但在口语中用me也是可以接受的，而且Joey 为了突出自己而把Me放到了Chandler前面，然后还很暧昧地加了一句"他经常不在家(And he’s away lot)"。

Monica: Joey, stop hitting on her! It's her wedding day!
Monica很了解Joey, 教训他说："你别挑逗她了(stop hitting on her)，今天可是她的结婚之日。

" 而这里的hit on someone 的意思是"和某人调情，或挑逗某人", 相当于flirt with someone,作个小小的总结：
hit on someone
flirt with someone
to make a pass at someone
to come on to someone
例如："Did you see the way Brian came on to Sally at the office party?"
"Oh, Brian has made a pass at every girl in the office."
"I know, but he hit on Sally particularly hard."
Joey, stop hitting on her! : Slang, to pay unsolicited(adj.主动提供的) and usually unwanted
(adj.不必要的) sexual attention to
注意：
Hit on sb.
come on to sb.pass at sb.
crash on sb: 指的是对某人有意思，有好感（情感上或“生理”上），不一定（只是不一定要付诸行动），即“被某人所吸引”；flirt with sb包括付诸行动，比如我们常说的“上前搭讪，引人注意，挑逗，调情”。

当然具体到实际生活中两种情况有可能交叉，比如上文中翻译的“你别挑逗她了”就包含了这两种意思，非常准确。

Joey: What, like there's a rule or something?
到底是情圣啊! 最后Joey脸不红心不跳地回了一句："怎么啦？难道还有什么明文规定不成？（What, like there's a rule or something?）。

似乎该理解为难道有什么规定（在这种情况下禁止我追求她）么？
注意：“迷恋上……，爱上……”的几种说法：
have the hots for someone
be stuck on someone
have one's cap set for someone
fall for
(The door buzzer sounds and Chandler gets it.)
buzzer n.蜂鸣器
Chandler: Please don't do that again, it's a horrible sound.
Paul: (over the intercom) It's, uh, it's Paul.
over the intercom: communication system linking different rooms
Monica: Oh God, is it 6:30? Buzz him in让他进来!
Buzz him in：buzz就是按楼房的防盗门时发出的声音，这样用法又简单，又形象
Buzz him in: make a signal using the buzzer to let him in
Joey: Who's Paul?
Ross: Paul the Wine Guy, Paul?
Monica: Maybe. Joey: Wait. Your 'not a real date' tonight is with Paul the Wine Guy?
Ross: He finally asked you out?
Monica: Yes!
Chandler: Ooh, this is a Dear Diary moment.
this is a Dear Diary moment:西方人写日记一开头总爱写Dear Diary,...... Dear Diary moment也许是讲这个时刻不同寻常，有重要意义，值得写进日记的意思吧。

这是一个值得纪念的日子/时刻”的意思。

ohh, this is a Dear Diary moment: when Americans keep the diary(n.日记), normally, the first words they write down must be “Dear Diary”, apparently, Chandler mocks Monica that she is so attracted to Paul with his stereotyped(adj.套用老调的) Chandler sarcastic tone.
Monica: Rach, wait, I can cancel...
Rachel: Please, no, go, that'd be fine!
Monica: (to Ross) Are, are you okay? I mean, do you want me to stay?
Ross: (choked voice) That'd be good...
Choke v.阻塞
Monica: (horrified) Really?
horrified
adj.惊悸的, 带有恐怖感的, 惊骇的
Ross: (normal voice) No, go on! It's Paul the Wine Guy!
Phoebe: What does that mean? Does he sell it, drink it, or just complain a lot? (Chandler doesn't know.)
(There's a knock on the door and it's Paul.)
Monica: Hi, come in! Paul, this is.. (They are all lined up next to the door.)... everybody, everybody, this is Paul.
line up v.整队, 排列起
All: Hey! Paul! Hi! The Wine Guy! Hey!
Chandler: I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name. Paul, was it?
I didn’t catch your name: perceive(v.意识到) by hearing
Monica: Okay, umm-umm, I'll just--I'll be right back, I just gotta go ah, go ah...
Ross: A wandering?
Monica: Change! Okay, sit down. (Shows Paul in) Two seconds.
Phoebe: Ooh, I just pulled out four eyelashes. That can't be good.
eyelash n.睫毛
I just pull out four eyelashes: the fringe of hair edging the eyelid(n.眼睑). Usually used in
plural(adj.复数的)
(Monica goes to change换衣服.)
Ross: So Rachel, what're you, uh... what're you up to tonight?
what are you up to tonight? : Busy or occupied with
Rachel: Well, I was kinda supposed to be headed for Aruba on my honeymoon, so nothing!
be headed for v.朝……方向去，前往
be supposed to be done
主语是人，表示本应做某事但是没做
主语是物，某事本应该发生而没有发生
be supposed to have been done
这个是完成时态，那就是说某事应该完成但是却没有，有一定感情色彩例如责备和抱怨Ross: Right, you're not even getting your honeymoon, God.. No, no, although, Aruba, this time
of year... talk about your- (thinks) -big lizards... Anyway, if you don't feel like being
alone tonight, Joey and Chandler are coming over to help me put together my new furniture. Lizard n.蜥蜴
Rachel说度蜜月到Aruba,为什么Ross提到Big lizards.当Rach提到本想去Aruba时，Ross原本想说Rach不能去渡蜜月是太遗憾了，但突然意识到不应该说这些，急忙改口找些其他话题而提到Big lizards，并不是Ross对生物感兴趣。

我认为到底Aruba有没有Big lizards无关紧要，只是Ross转换话题的一个借口而已
come over
v.过来
过来,抓住
我记得有时候come here和come over here，come in和come on in这些不同的说法，有人给解释什么时候有那个over什么时候没那个over，我倒是觉得没那个必要，在我看来就是一样的。

put together
v.把...加起来, 装配, 使成整体, 整理(思路,意见等)
feel like being alone
feel like可以加名词，形容词，代词，反身代词，从句，动名词，但是没有feel like to do的说法，这里动名词的逻辑主语同时也是动名词动作的承受者，动名词用被动语态，所以用being alone
Chandler: (deadpan) Yes, and we're very excited about it.
deadpan n.无表情的脸/Deadpan: a completely expressionless face
Rachel: Well actually thanks, but I think I'm just gonna hang out here tonight. It's been kinda a long day.
hang out here：呆在这儿。

朋友之间相处，象FRIENDS他们一起喝咖啡，在MON家聊天之类的，都是hang out。

像这样的词组就是所谓的:外国人不认为是俚语的俚语，它们非常通俗，老外每天都在说，而我们在字典上却查不到确切含义。

因此，看FRIENDS是很有帮助的。

如果是hang-out的话，那么就成为一个名词，某人常去的地方，例如老友们常去的central perk 就是他们的hang-out。

it's been kinda a long day：完成时态，因为RACH又逃婚，有被老爸骂，这一天过得很痛苦，所以也就很漫长
Ross: Okay, sure.
Joey: Hey Pheebs, you wanna help?
Phoebe: Oh, I wish I could, but I don't want to.
Commercial Break
[Scene: Ross's Apartment, the guys are there assembling furniture.]
Ross: (squatting and reading the instructions) I'm supposed to attach a brackety thing to the side things, using a bunch of these little worm guys. I have no brackety thing, I see no whom guys whatsoever and- I cannot feel my legs腿麻掉了.
squat v.a.蹲坐b.非法占用
brackety n.托架
bracket thin是组装家具的支架之类的东西
a bunch of 一窜，一束
worm n. 蜗杆是一种类似起锚器或绞盘的东西，用于把比较重的物品提起来
worm guy指代螺丝钉，因为螺丝钉上的纹路与worm很相似
whatsoever pron.无论什么
(Joey and Chandler are finishing assembling the bookcase书架，书柜.)
Joey: (picking up a leftover part) What's this?
leftover n.剩余物, 残留物, 剩菜adj.剩余的
Chandler: I have no idea.
(Joey checks that Ross is not looking and dumps it in a plant.)
Joey: Done with the bookcase!
Chandler: All finished!
Ross: (clutching a beer can and sniffing) This was Carol's favorite beer. She always drank it
out of the can, I should have known.
cluth v.抓住, 攫住n.离合器
sniff v.用力吸, 嗅, 闻到
drink it out of the can
是说直接从罐子里面喝，而不是倒出来喝，网上有人说是把can形容成pussy，暗示Carol 是个lesbian，得到很多人的同意，这被百度吧评为最隐晦的黄段子。

不过我倒不这么认为，在一些酒吧里面可以看到那些拉拉，她们抽烟，直接从瓶子里面喝啤酒，rose的意思也许是carol总是直接从罐子里面喝啤酒，我早就应该知道她是拉拉，不过话说回来，我的一些异性朋友也都是直接从罐子里面喝酒的，她们肯定不是拉拉。

Joey: Ross, let me ask you a question. She got the furniture, the stereo, the good TV- what
did you get?
stereo n. 音响
Ross: You guys.
Chandler: Oh, God.
Joey: You got screwed
你受骗了.强调钱财方面，即“被别人以不正当的手段骗取钱财”
you got screwed: to cheat or deceive someone
Chandler: Oh my God!
[Scene: A Restaurant, Monica and Paul are eating.]
Monica: Oh my God!
Paul: I know, I know, I'm such an idiot. I guess I should have caught on when she started
going to the dentist four and five times a week. I mean, how clean can teeth get?
should have caught on
再一次should have done本来应该做某事但是没有做
catch on v.抓牢, 理解, 流行
I guess I should have caught on when she started going to the dentist four and five times a week, I mean how clean can teeth get? : caught on :Understand clearly, comprehend. Catch on to the fact is also a useful alternative phase you can apply to
Monica: My brother's going through that right now, he's such a mess. How did you get through it?
Paul: Well, you might try accidentally breaking something valuable of hers, say her比如说她的accidentally adv.偶然地, 意外地
Monica: -leg?
Paul: (laughing) That's one way! Me, I- I went for the watch.
went for v.攻击,尽力想求得
Monica: You actually broke her watch?
[Scene: Monica's Apartment, Rachel is talking on the phone and pacing.]
pace vi.踱步
Rachel: Barry, I'm sorry... I am so sorry... I know you probably think that this is all about what I said the other day about you making love with your socks on, but it isn't... it isn't, it's about me, and I ju- (She stops talking and dials the phone.) Hi, machine cut me off again... anyway..
cut off 切断
HI, the machine cut me off again: disconnect, terminate, and shut off
the other day
n.前几天
[Scene: Ross's Apartment; Ross is pacing while Joey and Chandler are working on some more furniture.]
Chandler: Look, Ross, you gotta understand, between us we haven't had a relationship that has lasted longer than a Mento.
Mento：Mento是曼妥思糖(Mentos)的简称。

在钱德勒和乔伊安慰离婚的罗斯时，钱德勒说他和乔伊与女孩的关系从来没有“长过嚼一颗曼妥思糖的时间(lasted longer than a Mento)”；以劝慰罗斯放开一点。

在<我与老友一起傻笑>一书中也有提到：Here Chandler made a comparison of the longevity of his and Joey's relationship to the lasting of Mento, emphasizing the shortness of their relationship with other girls,which acts kinda as a comfort to Ross.
Ross: You know what the scariest part is? What if there's only one woman for everybody, y'know?
I mean what if you get one woman- and that's it? Unfortunately in my case, there was
only one woman- for her...
你们知道最可怕的是什么？要是每个人只能有一个女人？我是说，要是你找到一个女人（做另一半）－然后就不能在找了？不幸的是，我这件事里，那个一个女人是给“她”准备的.. Joey: What are you talking about? 'One woman'? That's like saying there's only one flavor口味of ice cream for you. Lemme tell you something, Ross. There's lots of flavors out there. There's Rocky Road, and Cookie Dough制甜酥饼干面团, and Bing! Cherry Vanilla樱桃香草. You could get 'em with Jimmies, or nuts核果, or whipped cream生奶油! This is the best thing that ever happened to you! You got married, you were, like, what, eight? Welcome back to the world! Grab a spoon!
you were, like, what, eight是8岁的意思?
jimmies是一种经常撒在ice cream上的巧克力味的小糖果棒。

[Scene: Monica's Apartment, Rachel is watching Joanne Loves Chaci.]
Priest on TV: We are gathered here today to join Joanne Louise Cunningham and Charles, Chachi-Chachi-Chachi, Arcola in the bound of holy matrimony神圣的婚姻.
in bound of holy matrimony：结为夫妇，在神圣婚姻的约束，范围内
Rachel: Oh...see... but Joanne loved Chachi! That's the difference!
Oh...see... but Joanne loved Chachi! That's the difference! ：What Rachel said is funny is because Rachel here was sarcastic about her running away from altar.She was deeply moved by the true love between Joanne and Chachi which leads to a successful holy matrimony,while she and Barry had almost everything but love and that results in her disappointment in their matrimony.So she felt right to have escaped from a doomed marrige with a person she would never love. [Scene: Ross's Apartment, they're all sitting around and talking.]
Ross: (scornful) Grab a spoon. Do you know how long it's been since I've grabbed a spoon? Do the words 'Billy, don't be a hero' mean anything to you?
Billy don't be a hero 这是一首著名的70年代反战歌曲，描写的是越战中，一个女孩希望自己的fiance Billy平安归来，don't be a hero in the war,但最后Billy还是在战争中失去了他年青的生命．歌中有一句词说：“比利，不要成为一个英雄(Billy，don't be a hero)”。

回来，让我成为你的妻子。

在剧中，乔伊劝告罗斯忘记前妻卡罗尔，再找新的女友，罗斯非常不满，他反问乔伊：那“比利，不要成为一个英雄”这个故事对你有何启发?这里罗斯把找新女友比喻成上战场
Do the words’Billy, don’t be a hero’mean anything to you? : A hit(n.歌曲) by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods in 1974, written about a young man named Billy who headed to Vietnam War and had to leave his lovely fiancée(n.<法>未婚妻). Here, I assume, Ross likens it to(与……相比) his tragic love affair in a sappy(adj.精力充沛的,易动感情的) manner, you know, his wife is a lesbian
Ross: Y'know, here's the thing是这样的. Even if I could get it together enough to- to ask a woman out,... who am I gonna ask? (He gazes out of the window.)
gaze out向外注视
get it together
意思很多，翻译过来也很灵活，这个地方可以认为是即使我鼓足勇气去做某事
这里有一首插曲，歌曲名：Sky Blue and Black。

我会尽量介绍friends中的插曲，因为有些很好听的，喜欢的可以去下载听听。
