   Friends S07E23-24 Vol.2: 着眼大局有收益 潜逃危机看不起

   1. proceeds 收益 Ross和Phoebe找到逃婚的Chandler, Chandler向他们解释逃跑的原因是因为对婚姻没信心。在他印象中只有演员Paul Newman的婚姻是成功的。而自己跟Paul Newman一点也不像，他说了一个不像的点包括 None of my proceeds go to charity. Proceed是动词，继续的意思。而proceeds是名词意思是收入，收益。尤其指卖了东西或组织活动的收益。 例句：The proceeds of the concert will go to charity. 这次音乐会的收入将捐给慈善机构。 2. have a low opinion of 轻视，看不起 看到Chandler对自己经营婚姻没信心，Phoebe使出了激将法说no-one has a lower opinion of you than I do. But I totally believe you can do this. have a low opinion of 轻视，看不起 Phoebe的意思是没人比我更看不起你了，但我都觉得你能行 Ross: Chandler, have you ever put on a black cocktail dress and asked me up to your hotel room? Chandler: No. Ross: Then you are neither of your parents! Chandler: It’s not just their marriage! I mean, look at yours. Look at everybody’s! The only person that can make marriage work is Paul Newman! And I’ve met me; I am not Paul Newman. I don’t race cars! I don’t make popcorn! None of my proceeds go to charity. Phoebe: But look Chandler, right now no-one has a lower opinion of you than I do. But I totally believe you can do this. Chandler: I want to. I love her so much, but I’m afr…It’s too huge. 3. keep an eye on sb/sth 看管，留意 Rachel正要跟Monica说实话，Chandler不见了。Phoebe及时赶到暗示Rachel, Chandler找到了。找到是找到了，但是还要keep an eye on it. keep an eye on sb/sth 「留一只眼睛在某人或某物上」，其实要表达的就是「看管某人 鳄 某物、留意某人或某物」的意思！ 例句：Keep an eye on your personal belongings at all times as this city is known for its thieves an诶 pickpockets.（时时刻刻都要留意你的个人物品，因为这座城市的小偷和扒手是出了名的。） Rachel: Oh good God! I’ve fallen down! (She trips and falls.) Monica: (entering) What’s going on? Rachel: Okay. Alright. (Gets up.) Honey listen. When I tell you what I’m about to tell you, I need you to remember that we are all here for you and that we love you. Monica: Okay, you’re-you’re really freaking me out. Rachel: We can’t find Chandler…(Phoebe sticks her head and motions that they found Chandler)—‘s vest. We can’t find Chandler’s vest. Monica: How can that be?! Oh wait! Wait! Are you, are you serious?! Phoebe: (entering) Found the vest! I mean we’re gonna have to keep an eye on it, y’know make sure we don’t lose it again… Rachel: Oh! Monica: Oh wow! Okay. Don’t scare me like that okay? I mean for a minute there I was like, "Oh my God! The worst has happened!" 4. flight risk 有逃离风险的人 Chandler又不见了，菲比责备Ross明知道Chanlder是flight risk还跟他玩儿hide and seek. flight risk 这个短语本来是法律用语，律师不同意被告保释会说他是flight risk，意思是被告会坐飞机逃走。在口语里flight risk指会逃离一份工作或一段感情的人。 Ross: Uh Phoebe, can I see you for a second? Phoebe: Yeah! (They both go out into the hall.) Phoebe: What’s going on? Ross: Chandler’s gone again! Phoebe: Oh my God! Why would you play hide and seek with someone you know is a flight risk?! 5. walk out on sb 抛弃某人 Ross发现了Chandler立刻把他按倒在地说You are not walking out on my sister. Walk out on sb 意思是突然结束跟某人的一段感情，抛弃某人。 Ross: (turning a corner) There he is!! Chandler: What? (Ross runs over and tackles him.) Phoebe: Hey! Oh! Ross: You’re not getting away this time mister! Unless you want that ass kicking we talked about! Chandler: Ross! (He starts to get up.) Ross: Hiiii-Ya!! (Chandler lies back down.) I’m serious! You’re not walking out on my sister! 6. the big picture 大局 Chandler正解释自己听到Monica怀孕以后的心路历程，提到了去买烟，Ross开始大惊小怪买烟的事情。Chanlder说了一句big picutre. the big picture 整个情况 Picture 是指图片、图画，不过当人家说 the big picture 其实要说的是「整个情况」、「总括的大方向」的意思喔！ 例句：Let’s look at the big picture first before working out the details. （在进到细节之前，我们先看一下整个情况吧。） 7. Chucky 鬼娃恰吉 Chandler拿了一件婴儿服说能穿下这样衣服的人一定不会可怕。菲比回敬一句You did not see Chucky 3. Chucky 是好莱坞经典电影形象鬼娃。 Chandler: I know about Monica. Phoebe: You know?! Ross: What? Chandler: Yeah, I heard you and Rachel talking. Ross: What?! What?! Talking about what?! Chandler: You don’t know? Ross: Know what—If somebody doesn’t tell me what’s going on right now… Phoebe: What? You’ll hi-ya? Chandler: Monica’s pregnant. Ross: Oh my God. Oh my God! And you’re-you’re…you’re not freaking out? Chandler: Well I was! Then I went down to the gift shop because I was out of cigarettes… Phoebe and Ross: Cigarettes?!! Chandler:Big picture please! So I was in the gift shop, and that’s when I uh, saw this. (He holds up a little, tiny baby jumper that reads I (heart) New York.) Yeah, y’know what? I thought anything that can fit into this, can’t be scary. Phoebe: Well you obviously didn’t see Chucky 3.

   1. ball and chain 老婆 几个朋友在咖啡厅聊天感慨这是最后一次六个人作为single在一起喝咖啡了，Chanlder说了几个妻子的用法，说到最后一个ball and chain,Monica怒了。 Ball and chain 球与链， something that limits one's freedom or ability to do things在口语里指缠着你的人，去哪儿都得带着他/她的人，也经常用来指老婆或已婚女性。 其他关于妻子的说法还有little woman, old lady等 Monica: Do you realize this is probably the last time we’ll all be here in the coffee house as six single people? Phoebe: Why?! What’s happening to the coffee house?! (Monica looks at her.) Oh! (Realizes.) Chandler: Yep! From now on its gonna be the four of you guys and me and the mrs. The little woman. The wife. The old ball and chain. Monica: Old? Chandler: The young hot ball and chain. 2. I hear what you are saying 我明白你说的 Ross以Monica哥哥的身份向Chandler提出警告，如果敢对她妹妹不好他就饶不了Chandler. 因为两个人太熟了，Ross严肃地说这番话让Chandler强忍着笑说I hear what you are saying. I hear what you are saying. 你说的话我明白。 这句话也可以简化为 I hear you. Ross: Okay! You guys are getting married tomorrow and-and I couldn’t be more thrilled for both of you, but as Monica’s older brother I-I have to tell you this. If you ever hurt my little sister, if you ever cause her any unhappiness of any kind, I will hunt you down and kick your ass! (Chandler laughs.) What? I’m-I’m-I’m serious! (Chandler laughs harder.) Come—Hey! Dude! Stop it! Okay? I’m-I’m not kidding here! Chandler: (smiling) Hey, I hear what your saying, okay? And, thanks for the warning. Ross: No problem. Chandler: So are we…friends again? Ross: Yeah. Chandler: Okay. (Pause) You won’t believe what Monica’s older brother just said to me! 3. 大牌客串：加里奥德曼 大牌客串：加里奥德曼 他是哈利波特里的小天狼星，是杀手莱昂中的可恨警察，是蝙蝠侠里的吉姆戈登，他就是好莱坞著名大反派加里奥德曼。在《老友记》中他客串了和Joey互吐口水的大牌演员。这段对话还拿Gary Oldman数次提名奥斯卡不中当做一个梗，2018年他终于凭借Dark Hours中对丘吉尔这个角色的完美诠释拿下奥斯卡。 The Assistant Director: (approaching) Hey Joey! We’re ready. Joey: Yeah! Me too. (He pats his pocket.) The Assistant Director: (to another actor) Richard? We’re ready for you. (Richard approaches.) Joey Tribbiani? This is Richard Crosby, he’s playing Vincent. Joey: I’m doing my scenes with you? Richard: Nice to meet you Joey. Joey: Wow! I can’t believe this! This is incredible. I mean you just won an Oscar! Richard: No I didn’t. Joey: I think you did. Richard: I think I lost. Three times. Joey: Uh…Cookie? 4. raise the glass to 致辞 Ross做为伴郎best man在婚礼上致辞，在感人的致辞的最后他说到So if you’d all please join me in raising a glass to the, the couple we’re here to celebrate. 在说祝酒词的时候可以用常见的let’s make a toast to也可以用let’s raise the glass to 另外也可以用cheers to或者here it to Ross: (clinking a wine glass) Can I have everyone’s attention please? I’m uh; I’m Ross Geller. Mr. Geller: Doctor Ross Geller. Ross: Dad…dad, please! As I was saying umm, I’m Dr. Ross Geller. Uhh, and I’m the best man. And uh, this marriage is doubly special for me umm, because not only is the groom my best friend but uh, the bride is my little sister. And, she’s the greatest sister a guy could ask for. So if you’d all please join me in raising a glass to the, the couple we’re here to celebrate. (Everyone does so.) To the Bings. All: To the Bings! 5. Ray-Ban 雷朋眼镜 为了防止被对手戏的演员吐到脸上口水，Joey带了一幅Ray-Ban眼镜。 Ray-Ban就是眼镜名牌雷朋。 Joey: Hey! Where have you been? Ross: Oh, taking my parents back to the hotel. Joey: Oh. Ross: What? Are you going back to work? Joey: Yeah. Ross: Nice shades. Joey: Thanks. Yeah, I figure if I wear these in my scenes at least I won’t get spit in the eyes, y’know? Ross: And if I remember correctly, Ray Ban was the official sponsor of World War I! Joey: Great! All right. I’ll see you later. 6. pull yourself together 振作起啦 婚礼前夕Chandler不见了，大家都认为他get cold feet临阵脱逃了。Rachel看到Monica兴奋的样子，想到婚礼可能取消就快崩溃了Pheobe让Rachel “pull yourself together” pull yourself together 你要振作起来，打起精神来。 还有一个类似的短语就是get a grip Rachel: (closing the door) Ross said there’s still no word from Chandler. Phoebe: Oh man. Rachel: Oh but he did say that they found the grandmother wandering down fifth avenue. Phoebe: Okay. Well there’s one down. Monica: I’m getting married today!!! (She trips and falls.) (Getting up) I think I just cracked a rib. But I don’t care because today’s my wedding day! My day is finally here!! (Runs back into her room.) Phoebe: Y’know she might not even notice he’s gone. Monica: (re-entering) I’m gonna start getting ready! (Goes back into her room.) Rachel: God! Don’t—We can’t let her start getting ready! This is too awful! Oh God, but wait she’ll be in the gown and then he won’t show up and then she’s gonna have to take off the gown… Phoebe: Shhh! Stop it! Stop it Rachel! You can’t do this here! (She drags her into the bathroom.) Rachel: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s just…It’s just so sad! Phoebe: Yeah, but you’ve got to pull yourself together! Monica can’t see you like this! Then she’ll know something’s wrong!

   Friends S07E22 Vol. 2：泪眼模糊瞎胡闹 不会错过大活宝

   1. horse around 胡闹，鬼混 当Ross知道Rachel驾照过期的时候大惊失色，对开车的Rachel说Stop horsing around. Horse around = fool around 在俚语里胡闹，鬼混的意思。 例如：Stop horsing around and get to work! 别玩了，干活去吧。 Rachel: God. I forgot how much I love driving. I have got to get my license renewed. Ross: (shocked) You don’t have a valid driver’s license—Okay that is it! Pull over right now! Rachel: Oh Ross you’re so tense!

Are you—Okay that’s not funny! Just stop horsing around! Rachel: I am not horsing around, okay? I am Porsching around. 2. 民谣歌曲 Cats in the Cradle Chandler提到刻意躲避父亲时说That’s very Cats in the Cradle. Cats in the Cradle是一首70年代的民谣歌曲讲述了孩子恳求父亲融入他的童年生活，父亲却以忙碌来搪塞。Chandler用来比喻自己用托辞躲避父亲。 这首歌在美剧里经常出现《老爸老妈浪漫史》，《熟女镇》等美剧里都出现过这首歌做插曲。 Monica: I still say that if we had called your dad we coulda gotten better seats. Chandler: No! No! I don’t want him to know we’re here yet! I’m not sure I’m ready for that. And besides, he’s not gonna be too happy to see me either. Monica: Why not?! Chandler: I don’t know if I’ve told you this, but he’s kinda tried to get in contact with me a lot over the last few years Monica: What?! Chandler: Yeah, he’s made phone calls, written letters, he even came to New York, but I always said I was too busy to see him. Y’know it’s all very Cats in the Cradle—I don’t want to get into it. (The show starts.) Here we go. Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the incomparable Helena Handbasket! Helena: Hello darlings. Chandler: And there’s daddy! 3. handle a stick 开车（手动挡） Rachel超速后和警察flirt蒙混过关这段对话十分经典。最后警察建议Rachel不要开车了让Ross开的时候问Can he handle a stick? hanlde a stick = handle a stick shift 操控手排挡，意思是会开车 Policeman: Can I see your license please? Rachel: Oh yes, absolutely! Y’know, it’s weird uh, but I had a dream last night where I was stopped by a policeman. And then he uh…well I probably shouldn’t tell you the rest. Policeman: Your license? Rachel: (handing it to him) Yes. Here you go Officer uh, Handsome. Policeman: That’s Hanson. Rachel: Oops sorry, my mistake. Ross: Dear Lord!! Policeman: Wow! Ross: Here it comes. Policeman: This is a great picture. Rachel: Really?! You think so? Y’know, I had just rolled out of bed. Policeman: Yeah? Well you look phenomenal. Ross: Well she should, it was taken ten years ago! Rachel: Y’know you’re-you’re probably wondering about the old date on there. Policeman: Yes I am. Rachel: Yeah. Policeman: You’re an Aquarius, huh? Rachel: I bet you’re a Gemini. Policeman: Nope. Rachel: Taurus? Policeman: Nope. Rachel: Virgo? Policeman: Nope. Rachel: Sagittarius? Policeman: Yep. Rachel: I knew it! I knew it, ahh…. Policeman: Well I tell you what… Rachel: Yeah? Policeman: You’re not gonna speed anymore right? Rachel: I won’t speed. Policeman: And you promise you’ll get this taken care of right away? Rachel: I promise. Policeman: And in the meantime you better let him drive. Does he have a license? Rachel: Yeah! Policeman: Can he handle the stick? Rachel: Oh well… Ross: I can handle the stick!! 4. hoot 活宝 Chandler说自己的父母They are a hoot. Hoot 当名词是有趣的人，滑稽的人。也可以理解为活宝。 Helena: So what’s your name? Chandler: (resigning himself to his fate) Chandler. (He quickly sits down.) Helena: Chandler? What an unusual name! You must’ve had terribly fascinating parents. Chandler: Oh, they’re a hoot. 5. not miss sth for the world 无论如何不会错过 听到Chandler要邀请自己去参加婚礼，Chandler的父亲很激动，说 I wouldn’t miss it for the world. not miss (sth) for the world 无论如何也不会错过某事 例句：Don't worry, sweetie, I'll be there to see your performance tonight. I wouldn't miss it for the world. 6. get misty 泪眼模糊 紧接着Chandler的父亲说I am getting misty. get misty = get all misty 眼中含泪, 泪眼模糊 形容词misty-eyed 泪眼朦胧的 Helena: (To Monica) And who is your friend? Monica: I’m-I’m Monica. Helena: Monica! Where are you from? Monica: New York. Helena: I’m not very fond of New York. Queens I like. (Noticing Monica’s ring.) Ooh, what is this sparkle something! (Shows the audience who woos.) Honey! Huh? Chandler: Actually Monica and I are engaged. Helena: Really?! Congratulations. When’s the big day? Monica: (looks at Chandler) In…in two weeks. Helena: (disappointed) I see. Well, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. (To a bald guy.) So you’re bald? Chandler: Wait! Wait! We’d really love it if you could be there. Helena: We? (Looks at Monica who nods.) Chandler: I know it would make me happy, ma’am. Helena: Well I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Oh! I’m getting all misty here! You’d think I was having my legs waxed or something. (Goes back on stage.)
