104The One With George Stephanopoulos

1.Phoebe: Okay, okay. If I were omnipotent for a day, I would want, um, world peace, no more hunger, good things for the rain-forest...And bigger boobs! 几个老友一起聊天,Phoebe说如果她能做一天无所不能的上帝,她就会希望世界和平、没有饥饿、不会滥伐森林以及有大的boobs。Phoebe心地很善良,从上一集她把意外之财送给无家可归的流浪人就可窥见一斑,所以她的愿望都是关于人类发展生存的,当然咯,她也没忘说需要大的boobs,呵呵,想必是小小的恶作剧,挖苦一下Monica吧。Boob常见的意思是蠢材、笨蛋,不过在俚语中也有胸脯、乳房的意思。这之后更精彩的是Joey,他也没听清楚别人到底讨论什么,就来了一句,说如果是他的话,不如死掉算了,大家莫名其妙,还好Ross最了解他。原来,Joey听成如果他阳痿(impotent)了……,呵呵,搞笑吧,看来这部电视剧中很多有关Sex的笑话哦。

 

2. Ross: Today's the day Carol and I first.. consummated our physical relationship. (Joey is puzzled.) Sex. ..You know what, I-I'd better pass on the game. I think I'm just gonna go home and think about my ex-wife and her lesbian lover.这话也只有考古学家(paleontologist)的Ross能说得出来了,居然会用consummate physical relationship来形容他和Carol的第一次。另外一个词组是pass on sth,相当于let sth pass,它还有去世(相当于pass away)和传递的意思,有时候我们也可以说pass on my best wish to sb,请代为转达我最美好的祝愿。

 

3. Ross: Alright, alright, maybe it'll take my mind off it. Do you promise to buy me a big thumb finger? 这里的big thumb finger可能有些费解,不过联系上集中Phoebe喝汽水喝出7000美刀,就可明白了。整句意思是Ross最后同意去看曲棍球比赛,因为可能可以让他不去想和Carol一起的事情,不过要chandler请喝汽水。

 

4.Rachel: God, isn't this exciting? I earned this. I wiped tables for it, I steamed milk for it, and it was totally—(opens envelope)—not worth it. Who's FICA? Why's he getting all my money? I mean, what- Chandler, look at that.Rach非常兴奋,因为终于发工资了,对于一个以前一直在父母温床下生活的人来说,抹桌子、热牛奶还真不容易(虽然总是把别人要的东西搞错),她乐坏了,可是马上发现她的钱都被FICA拿走了,FICA是Federal Insurance Contributions Act的缩写,是联邦社会保险捐款法的意思。

 

5. Chandler: Excuse me, look, we've been here for over an hour, and a lot of people less sick than my friend have gone in. I mean, that guy with the toe thing? Who's he sleeping with? (She slides the gladd panel over and Chandler talks through it in a loud voice.) Oh, c'mon Dora, don't be mad... I know we both said some things we didn't mean, but that doesn't mean we still don't love each other. (To the waiting room.) Y'know, I feel like I've lost her.. (She slides the panel back, he turns, and it takes him by surprise.) Ba-!三个好友一起去看冰球赛,结果Ross光荣负伤,于是紧急送到医院,不料那个值班员正在煲电话粥,态度不好,Chandler好言好语却毫无效果,于是发了点小脾气,没料到吃了闭门羹,所以他阴阳怪气的来了一段台词….

 

6. Ross: I remember the moonlight coming through the window- and her face had the most incredible glow.温柔的月光透过窗户照在她的脸上,显得神采奕奕、容光焕发。真是情人眼里出西施啊。

 

7. Kid: I found it. Finders keepers, losers weepers. (Ross looks at Chandler for help.) 小时候大家都玩过的赖皮童谣,东西掉了,谁拣到的就是谁的。

 

8. Ross: (to the kid) Oh yeah? Well, I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever—(to Chandler)—can't do it. (to the kid) Listen, uh- gimme back my puck.Ross用重创换来的puck居然被小孩拿去了,还阵阵有词的说谁拣到就归谁,Chandler怂恿他也来一段儿童谣,他鼓足勇气说了一半,终究还是捺不下面子。“I’m rubber,you’re glue,whatever (you say bounces off me and stick to you)”在Friends中出现了好几次,这里显然也是小孩子们拌嘴皮子时候用的。意思是我是橡皮你是胶水,你说的所有坏话都会反弹回去粘在你身上,引申过来也就是:你说我坏话实际就是骂你自己。

puck除了冰球的意思之外,还有恶作剧的小精灵的意思(来自一个英格兰民间传说)。
