【剧情简介】

男人们玩扑克牌,三个女人也想加入,男人们犹豫着答应了。女人们初学乍练输掉第一局,想再玩一次。

Chandler:(teaching) OK, so now we draw cards.

Monica:So I wouldn't need any, right? Cause I have a straight.

Rachel:Oh, good for you!

Phoebe: Congratulations!

(Microwave timer goes off. Monica gets up.)

Chandler:OK Phoebs, how many do you want?

Phoebe:OK, I just need two... the, um, ten of spades and the six of clubs.

Ross:No. No, uh, Phoebs? You can't—you can't do...

Rachel: Oh wait, I have the ten of spades! Here! (gives it to Phoebe)

Ross:No, no. Uh... no, see, uh, you-you can't do that.

Rachel:Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no, that's OK, I don't need them. I'm going for fours.

Ross:Oh, you're... (gives up)

(Monica comes back to the table with plates of food.)

Monica:Alright, here we go. We've got salmon roulettes and assorted crudites.

Phoebe and Rachel:OOooooo!

Joey: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Monica, what're you doin'? This is a poker game. You can't serve food with more than one syllable. It's gotta be like chips, or dip, or pretz...(look of realization)

Chandler:(changing subject) OK, so at this point, the dealer...

Monica:Alright, you know, we got it, we got it. Let's play for real. High stakes... big bucks...

Ross: Alright, now, you sure? Phoebe just threw away two jacks because they didn't look happy...

Phoebe: But... I'm ready, so, just deal.

Chandler:OK, alright, last minute lesson, last minute lesson. (holds up two cards) Joey... three... eight. Eight... three. (Joey is unamused) Alright babe, deal the cards.

(Time lapse.)

Monica: (throws down her cards) Dammit, dammit, dammit!

Phoebe: (to Joey): Oh I see, so then, you were lying.

Joey:About what?

Phoebe:About how good your cards were.

Joey:Heh... I was bluffing.

Phoebe:A-ha! And... what is bluffing? Is it not another word for... lying?

Rachel:OK, sorry to break up this party, but I've got resumes to fax before work tomorrow... (gets up to leave)

Guys:Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Chandler:Rach, Rach, we gotta settle.

Rachel:Settle what?

Chandler:The... Jamestown colony of Virginia. You see, King George is giving us the land, so...

Ross:The game, Rachel, the game. You owe us money for the game.

Rachel:Oh. Right.

Joey:You know what, you guys? It's their first time, why don't we just forget about the money, alright?

Monica:Hell no, we'll pay!

Phoebe:OK, Monica? I had another answer all ready.

Monica:And you know what? We want a rematch.

Ross: Well that's fine with me. Could use the money.

Rachel:(to Ross): So basically, you get your ya-yas by taking money from all of your friends.

Ross:(pause)...Yeah.

Chandler:Yes, and I get my ya-yas from Ikea. You have to put them together yourself, but they cost a little less.

Ross:Look, Rachel, this is poker. I play to win, alright? In order for me to win, other people have to lose. So if you're gonna play poker with me, don't expect me to be a 'nice guy,' OK? Cause once those cards are dealt... (claps hands three times)

Joey:(pause)...Yeah?

Ross: I'm not a nice guy.

bid, 叫牌,出价。

bluff, 拿着一手坏牌但下大赌注欺骗对手,虚张声势。

poker face, 扑克老手的脸,喜怒不形于色。

wild card, 百搭牌,变数

show hand, 亮底牌,摊牌

shuffle:本意是指调换顺序,这里调换牌的顺序,也就是“洗牌”。

cut:切牌。作弊的时候常用一招“假切牌”,看起来好像切了,实际上没有改过牌的位置。这在英语中称为“False Cut”,和假牙的“假”用的是同一个False。

Deal:发牌。Deal sb. Out原来是指发牌的时候跳过某人,引申为“排挤在外”的意思。另外,很多人在谈判最后打成共识,要喊“成交”的时候也是叫“Deal”。这里的Deal同样是从发牌的意思过来的。牌局开始之前玩家要讨论规则和赌注,一切商定之后就“deal”,发牌了…

Draw:摸牌。Touch这个“摸”更多是强调“接触一下”,而摸牌的这个“摸”具有粘滞性,是“摸进”的意思,英语中说成“Draw”。大家应该都记得,“抽屉”的英文是drawer,其中draw就是“抽,拉”的意思。“摸进”牌和“拉”抽屉一样,都是把物体向自己的方向牵动。

Sort:整理,理牌。

Play:打出。Play …card就是“打出…牌”。比如,play a strategy card,打出一张锦囊牌…这个词组还可以引申为“使用…招数”的意思。小孩子吵架的时候,最看不起的就是有人“Play the parent card”,打不过别人回去搬家长出来当救兵…

discard:弃牌。Dis-这个前缀表示否定,dis-card,否掉一张牌,就是丢弃不要的意思…

full house,flush同花,straight顺子

flush的意思是“同花”,或者说是麻将里的“清一色”。扑克牌中五张花色相同、大小没有规律的牌的组合就是Flush,Flush的大小看其中最大的一张牌。比如Ace-high Flush就是Ace最大的同花组合。中文里好像称为“垃圾”,因为这种组合没有任何顺序。Flush本身的意思就是“冲水”,用完厕所后必做的工作。“垃圾”对“冲掉”,还是很匹配的。

straight最基本的解释是“连续的”。比如straight wins 就是“连胜”。扑克牌中大小连续的牌,就是顺子。把两个词连起来,得到同花顺,就是straigh flush…

full house前文已经提到过,指3个跟一对的牌型。一行三,就是threes full

三个一样的:three of a kind,也可以叫set或者trip。

一对:pair

零牌:unmatched cards

 “炸弹”怎么说?英语中只是把炸弹称为“四张一样的牌”,Four of a kind. 4炸弹,就是Four of fours…,也有地方叫成quads。

扑克牌中大小一样叫of the same rank, 花色一样叫of the same suit, 都一样叫做…same

炸弹有时可以单挂一张废牌,这个废牌叫做kicker,或者side card。

trump 王花色牌。桥牌和八十分里面都要在四个花色里面指定一个花色为Trump(王),比其他花色都大。如果这一圈出草花,一名玩家草花牌已经绝掉(Void),就可以用一张王牌进行阻截。特别强调,王trump和王牌(Ace)是不一样的。Ace就是指A,只有一张,一支队伍的王牌一般也只有一个。Trump这个王是指一个花色,有13张之多。trump这个词还可以做动词用,表示defeat,胜过,打败。例如:To boys, a hot date trumps buddies. 对于男生来说,热辣的约会对象比兄弟重要…Love trumps all. 爱可以战胜一切。

摸牌阶段,玩家可以bid(叫牌)决定这一轮王的花色。如果玩家手上方块牌多,就可以扔出一张方块2,bid方块为王。对手可以用两张别的花色的2,比如一对草花2,来overbid(造反),改定草花为王。做庄的人叫做trumpmaker,底牌叫做kitty。

Joker怪。这个词本身是“小丑”的意思。扑克牌中是最大的鬼牌。扑克牌本身是欧洲人的作品,只有这两张牌是美国人的贡献。大怪叫Red Joker,小怪叫Black Joker。有些游戏中规定鬼牌是“百搭”,可以当作任意牌打出,这在英语中称为“wild card”。

hit/miss,摸到想摸的牌,凑成自己想做的牌,比如一副炸弹,叫hit。如果摸到一张废牌,就是miss

trick一圈,出一轮牌叫一个trick。

Void绝牌,没有(一门花色)。

house rules扑克牌的规则在各个地方都有差别,玩家常常会在玩牌前先确定规则。某一个俱乐部或某一组牌友打牌时的特定规则称为house rules

card counting算牌

cheating作弊。作弊高手叫cardshark,=中文的老千。
