    Friends S06E24-25: 求婚紧盯老大哥 话别说死随便喝

    1. propose to sb 向某人求婚  Chandle向朋友们讲述求婚计划时说instead of proposing a toast I’m just gonna propose. propose to sb 向某人求婚 类似的说法还有 pop the question Chandler: Okay, well tonight’s the big night. Phoebe: Yeah! Joey: Okay listen, how are you gonna ask her? Chandler: It is going to be perfect. I am taking her to her favorite restaurant. I’m going to get her a bottle of the champagne that she really loves; therefore knows how expensive it is. Then when the glasses are full, instead of proposing a toast I’m just gonna propose. Rachel: Ohh… Joey: That sounds perfect! 2. underprivileged 处于弱势地位的，贫困的 Rachel公司要为了underprivilleged kids举办一个慈善晚宴, Rachel问伙伴们谁能参加。 underprivileged 处于弱势地位的，相对贫困的 比直接用poor要委婉一些。奥斯卡获奖影片Scent of Women中校长利诱学生出卖朋友的一段对话里就用到了standout but underprivileged student来表示优秀的贫困生。  3. open bar 酒水免费 Phoebe问Rachel参加的Party是否open bar, 得到肯定的回答后就欣然参加了。  Open bar 意味着这个活动中酒水是免费的 记得04年在多伦多参加一个party不是open bar，一小瓶啤酒3加币还得给小费。我和同事们一晚上抱着一瓶啤酒晃悠。后来到了蒙特利尔的Party是open bar.同行的伙伴喝酒最少的一个也华丽丽地喝了11瓶。Good memories. Rachel: (entering) Hey! Chandler: Hey! Joey: Hey Rach! Rachel: Are any of you guys free tonight? My boss is hosting this charity event for underprivileged kids and the more people I bring, the better I look. So, Monica? Chandler? Chandler: (glaring at her) Well, Monica and Chandler can’t go. We’re going to dinner remember?! Rachel: Oh my God, I’m so sorry. Monica: What’s the big deal? Chandler: I just get mad when Rachel doesn’t remember where we’re going. Joey: Where are you going? Rachel: How about you guys?  Phoebe: Open bar? Rachel: I think so. Phoebe: I can do that for the kids. 4. throw sb off the track 误导某人迷失方向 Phoebe和Joey看到Monica和Chandler晚餐回来以为求婚结束了高兴地要看Monica的手，把Monica弄蒙了。Chandler悄悄向他们解释了没有求婚并指责他们破坏了惊喜，Phoebe就说她会throw her off the track . throw sb off the track = throw sb off the trail 通过误导使某人迷失方向，无迹可寻，脱离正轨，也就是我们俗话说的把某人往沟里带。 Phoebe: What happened? Chandler: Richard was there so I couldn’t do it! Joey: What?! Noooo… (Phoebe gasps.) Chandler: I’m gonna do it tomorrow y’know, and-and surprise her, but now you’ve ruined it! Joey: We didn’t ruin it! Chandler: Who walks into a room and asks to see a person’s hands?! Phoebe: Well, a palm reader, a manicurist, a hand doctor… Joey: Glove salesman! Phoebe: Good one! Yeah. Chandler: This is terrible. What am I going to do? Phoebe: Look, she only suspects something okay? She doesn’t know for sure, so justthrow her off the track. 5. keep tabs on someone 紧盯某人或某事 Chandler故意在Monica面前说诋毁婚姻甚至说how its just a way for the government to keep tabs on you.婚姻是政府盯梢你的方式 keep tabs on someone 紧盯某人或某事 例句：It's not always possible to keep tabs on everyone's movements. 监视每个人的行动并不总是能办得到的。 然后Joey附和了一句Big Brother. 老大哥是乔治·奥威尔在他的反乌托邦小说《一九八四》中塑造的一个人物形象。Big Brother是《一九八四》中大洋国的领袖，是最高领导人, 无时无刻监视着人民。 Monica: (entering) Hi guys! Joey: Hey! Chandler: Hey! Monica: What are you up too? Chandler: Oh, just hanging out, talkin’ about uh, websites. Yeah, we saw this really interesting website about marriage and how totally unnecessary it is and how its just a way for the government to keep tabs on you. Joey: (laughs) Yeah, Big Brother. Monica: Well that’s a little crazy. Although I am y’know glad to hear that you’re branching out on what you look at on the Internet. 6. never say never 话别说死 Chandler为了给求婚制造悬念故意说自己是不婚主义者，Monica追问他真的不婚么，他说never say never.  Never say never 话别说死，别说你永远也不会做某事。 加拿大小天王Justin Bieber的一首歌曲就叫做Never say never 翻译成《永不言败》 Chandler: If marriage worked, I’d be all for it. But do you know what the divorce rate in this country is? 97%. Monica: Wait a minute. Are you honestly telling me that-that you may never want to get married? Chandler: Well, never say never but y’know probably uh yeah, never. 7. shake on it 握手说定某事 看到Chandler和Monica终成眷属，Phoebe和Rachel谈论起自己未来的婚姻，Phoebe说跟Joey说好了，40岁如果都没结婚他俩就结婚，we shook on it.  Shake on it = shake hands on sth 握手说定某事 Let's shake on it 咱们就这么说定了 Rachel: We’re gonna find love! Phoebe: Definitely! Rachel: Yeah, I’m pretty confident about that. That’s what makes it so easy for me to be 80% happy for Monica and Chandler! It would be nice to have a little guarantee though. Phoebe: What do you mean? Rachel: Well y’know, some people make deals with a friend, like if neither of them are married by the time they’re 40, they marry each other. Phoebe: You mean a backup? Rachel: Exactly! Phoebe: Yeah, yeah I got that. Rachel: You do? Phoebe: Hm-mmm. Rachel: Who? Phoebe: Joey. Rachel: Joey?! Phoebe: Yeah! Rachel: Are you serious?! Phoebe: Yeah, I locked him years ago! Rachel: Wh… So… If neither of you are married by the time you’re 40, you’re gonna marry Joey. Phoebe: Yep, we shook on it. Yeah but believe me that is not how he wanted to seal the deal. Rachel: Oh, seriously? Phoebe: Ohh, yeah. I think his exact words were… Rachel: Charming. Phoebe: Well hey, it’s just a backup. Rachel: Yeah.

    Friends S06E23 Vol.2：陈年往事已如烟 认真揩油有一点

    1. mooch off sb 占某人的便宜  Ross和Joey在判断Chandler生气的原因时，认为是因为他们没有给Chandler买一张球赛的票。Joey觉得Chandler一直占他们便宜。于是说That guy is always mooching off us! mooch 本意是闲逛，搭配around。另一个意思是白吃白拿 mooch off sb 占某人的便宜，揩某人的油 例句：You're old enough to get a job and stop mooching off your family.你年紀不小了，可以找份工作，別再白吃家裡的了。 mooch off parents 啃老 Ross: Hey, remember how Chandler and Phoebe blew us off yesterday? Joey: No. Ross: Remember? You-you were eating pizza. Joey: Yeah. Ross: Okay. Well, apparently Chandler’s angry at us for not getting him a ticket to that Knicks game a couple of weeks ago. Joey: Oh, we’re supposed to just get him a ticket?! That guy is always mooching off us! 2. a tad 稍微有一点 菲比戴了满身珠宝问店员Is that too much? 店员无奈地回答A tad。 a tad = a little 稍微有一点 常用的一个短语 just a tad  Phoebe: Okay umm, I’d also like to try on the tiara.  Oh yeah. Okay. What do you think, too much? Male Jeweler:A tad. 3. for real 认真的，严肃的 当Chanlder向Ross和Joey透露求婚的事情，Ross不敢相信地说Is this for real?  For real在这里等于serious. I am for real. 我是认真的。 4. freeze out someone 排挤某人 当Chandler向Joey和Ross说出了他将要向Monica求婚的消息以后，Joey觉得不应该再继续他们对Chandler的排挤了，说道I think we gotta end the freeze out. freeze out someone 排挤某人 这里freeze-out用作一个名词短语。 5. water under the bridge 过去的事情了 Joey听到Chandler求婚的消息决定跟他冰释前嫌说We could be friends again. Chandler一头雾水因为他根本就不知道Joey和Ross排挤他的事情。Joey赶紧打圆场说Water under the bridge. 字面意思为“桥下的水”，那它用来表示什么呢？古语云，逝者如斯夫。桥下的流水也是一样，一旦流走就永远流走了，也就不要再耿耿于怀或者念念不忘了。 water under the bridge “过去的事情了，已成往事”。 Chandler: Guys? (They ignore him.) I’ve got something important to tell ya. (Still nothing so he walks over and stands in front of the TV.) Guys? (They lean over to try and watch the TV, Chandler mimics them.) Guys?! (Pause) I’m gonna ask Monica to marry me. Joey: (To Ross) I think we gotta end the freeze out. Ross: Wait a minute, is this, is this for real? Chandler: Yeah, check out the ring.  Joey: Oh my God!! Ross: So you two are really serious?! Chandler: Yep, pretty much. Ross: You-you’re gonna get married?! I mean… We’re gonna be brothers-in-law! (They hug.) Joey: And-and-and-and-and-and, and we’re gonna be friends again! Chandler: Heyyyy—What? Joey: Oh it’s water under the bridge, forget it!

    Friends S06E23 Vol. 1: 无意闯入有回报 小鸡就会临阵逃

    1. walk in on sb doing sth 无意闯入撞到某人做某事  Chandler把准备求婚的秘密告诉Phoebe主要是You walk in on me browsing ring brochure.  Walk in on 意思是无意闯入某地撞见某事。 Walk in on sb doing sth 撞见某人做某事 例句：She walked in on me when I was getting undressed. 她進屋正好撞見我在脫衣服。 类似意思的一个短语是 barge in 闯入 I'm sorry to barge in like this, but I have a problem I hope you can solve.  抱歉这样插进来，不过我有个问题希望你能解决。 2. pay off 取得成功，得到回报 Chandler说Phoebe闯入房间看到他浏览购买戒指的册子本来是一句调侃又有一点不满的话，Phoebe不以为耻反以为荣，说once again not knocking pays off. 不敲门又一次赚到了。 pay off 本意是还清，最常见的搭配就是pay off  debt还有pay off mortgage  pay off 取得成功，得到回报 例句：In the long term, our efforts will pay off.從長遠來看，我們的努力將獲得回報。 His hard work paid off in the end, and he finally passed the test.最後，他的辛苦付出得到了回報，他終於通過了測驗。 Chandler: Pheebs, can you help me pick out an engagement ring for Monica? I can’t figure this out! It’s so hard! Should I get her a (turning to each page) Tiffany cut or a Princess cut or a—ah-ah! Paper cut! Phoebe: Now, have you told anyone else? Chandler: No, I don’t want to tell anybody else because I don’t want Monica to find out. Phoebe: You told me. Chandler: Well, it’s because I trust you, you’re one of my best friends, and you walked in on me when I was looking at ring brochures. Phoebe: Yeah well, once again not knocking pays off. I only wish you hadn’t been on the toilet. Chandler: Me too. 3. can't complain 过得还行 当Phoebe问Paul How are things going with you? Paul的回答是Can’t complain.  can't complain 意思是还行(总体上还算满意），相当与Not bad或者same old, same old  Phoebe: Hi Paul! Paul: Hi Phoebe. Phoebe: So how are things going with you? Paul:Can’t complain. 4. Kung Pao Chicken 宫保鸡丁 Paul向Rachel敞开心扉哭诉小时候遭人欺凌的遭遇, 这一段当中chicken这个词成了焦点。 Rachel先是试图打断Paul的哭诉建议去吃饭，说Paul喜欢Kung Pao Chicken.  Kung Pao Chicken 国外最有名的中国菜-宫保鸡丁 另外的中国名菜还有mapo tofu 麻婆豆腐等 听到chicken Paul哭得更厉害了，因为他小时候被叫做chicken boy. chicken是一种胆小的动物。 chicken out 临阵退缩 Paul: And in fifth grade I got into a fight. Well, it wasn’t really a fight. Richard Darinvel bit me on the nose and, and I feel down. I still have a little scare right here (points to it) you can see it. Rachel: Yeah. Yeah, I-I-I see the scare. Listen, Paul, I think this is really great that-that y’know, you shared your feelings. It’s really, it’s beautiful, but umm, what do you say we go share some food? Paul: Oh, I couldn’t eat now. Rachel: What?! Wait! What are you talking about?! You love their Kung Pao Chicken! Paul: Chicken? (Pointing to himself.) Chicken boy! Rachel: My God, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to do that! I wouldn’t do that！ 5. haggle 砍价      在Chandler挑选戒指时，菲比自告奋勇I know how to haggle.  Haggle本意是乱劈乱砍，在这里指讨价还价，杀价，等于我们常用的bargain 例句： Don't be afraid to haggle: for the moment, it's a buyer's market. 别怕讨价还价：目前是买方市场。 Chandler: Oh, this one’s nice! (Pointing to another ring.) I like this one! Sir? Uh, kind sir? Can I see this one? Phoebe: Wait a minute, no, this is, this is the reason you brought me. Okay? I know how to haggle. So let me handle this from here on out.

Rachel: Ooh, the gift shop! 3. screen 筛除 博物馆的工作人员打来电话，Chandler和Monica的电话答录机自动接听并说出了if you’re listening to this message, we’re probably screening.这样的话。 Screen除了当屏幕讲以外还有筛子的意思，用作动词就是筛选过滤。Chandler的电话答录机上说We are screening.意思是我们在筛选该接的电话。 Chandler: (on machine) You’ve reached Monica and Chandler’s, if you’re listening to this message, we’re probably screening. (to himself) Yeah we are.

I want to let her know that there was a cancellation and if she’s still interested in having the Bing-Geller wedding at our facility, it is available…  Chandler: (on phone) This is Chandler Bing! This is Chandler Bing! (Listens) Yes, the groom—No! Not the groom!! 4. showtime 好戏上场 Paul跟Rachel约会之前对着镜子给自己来了一通pep talk, 然后大喊一声showtime.  Showtime 好戏上场。 在做某重要事情之前会讲这句话showtime 或者it is showtime.  美国又一家电视台也叫showtime, 后来还推出过Joey的扮演者Matt LeBlanc的自传剧集Episodes Paul:  Just relax. Just relax Paul, you’re doing great.  She likes you. She… Maybe, she likes you. She likes you. Y’know why? Because you’re a (pause) neat guy.  You are the man. You are (pause) the man!

Phoebe: Well for the regular guy, it’s bad, but Chandler, Oh dear God! Monica: I know! I know! And he totally freaked out and I can’t find him anywhere! Phoebe: What are you gonna do? Monica: Well, I’m never gonna listen to you again, that’s for sure! (Mimicking her.) "Y’know, harm can it do if you go and put your name down?" Phoebe: Rachel said that! Monica: Well Rachel’s not here! (Runs out.)

    Friends S6E21：激动拌嘴十二宫 攻击美言很认同

    1. horoscope 星座运势    开篇时老友们在用horoscope算运势。 Horoscope 就是星座运势，占星术。天宫图特指占星学里面用图像表示的日、月、行星以及黄道十二宫和中天的位置。  Zodiac signs 黄道十二宫是描述黄道带上人为划分的十二个随中气点移动的均等区域，以数学方式的划分为十二个30°的扇区，在占星术领域上使用这些区域充当天文学上的黄道星座。从春分点开始的，也称为白羊宫(Aries)的第一点。 2. lover's spat 情侣拌嘴 Phoebe给Monica和Chandler进行星座运势分析，刚刚说他们互赠礼物就又预言他们的lover's spat lover's spat 情侣拌嘴 spat 是因为一些很小的事情产生摩擦，可以翻译成口角和斗嘴，不如quarrel或是argue严重。  Rachel: Okay, Chandler! Chandler: Okay. Rachel: And your horoscope says, "On the fifth a special someone is going to give you a gift." Chandler: (To Monica) Oh, well thank you in advance. (Kisses her.) Rachel: Op, but the twelfth brings a lover’s spat. Monica: (To Chandler) You are going to make a joke about my special present! Why would you do that?! Rachel: Oh, wait and on the nineteenth a secret crush announces itself. 3. be psyched about sth/to do sth 很兴奋做某事 Joey明天就要去拍新剧Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E.了, Chandler问他 So are you psyched to fight fake crime with your robot sidekick? be pyched about sth/to do sth 「很兴奋(be excited; be pumped up；be thrilled )」的意思，对即将发生的事情已经做好完全的心理准备，因此非常期待兴奋狀態。 需要注意的是 be pyched out 意思完全不一样了，意思是非常紧张，近乎崩溃。  Joey: (entering) Hey guys! Chandler: Hey!! Rachel: (ecstatic) Oh my God! It’s Joey Tribbiani of Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E.!!!!!!! Chandler: Oh that’s right. It’s your first day! So are you psyched to fight fake crime with your robot sidekick? Joey: Am I psyched? The lead in my own TV series? I’ve dreamed about this for years! Why have I not been preparing?! Phoebe: No! Joey, you’re going to be great! 4. be well received 得到认同，反响很好 菲比说自己写的书well received.  Be well received 被很好的接受，可以表示反响很好, 得到认同。 有的人回email的时候写well received 以为是好好地收到了，其实是错的。  Chandler: Are you judging them by their covers? Because you’re really not supposed to do that. Phoebe: No, I’m just deciding which one to use—I’m gonna start writing another book! Rachel: Be-because the last one was such a big seller? Phoebe: Well, if you must know I have written 14 books. And as I am the only one who has read them, I can tell you that they all have been very well received. 5. 大牌客串：Bruce Willes   本集客串Ross小女友父亲的是好莱坞一线巨星Bruce Willes. 布鲁斯是著名银幕硬汉，《虎胆龙威》系列红遍全球，与《人鬼情未了》女主角黛米摩尔曾经的婚姻也曾颇为让人羡慕这对银幕情侣，不过如今已经劳燕分飞。布鲁斯早年也曾以电视剧《蓝色月光》起家成名，所以客串起来驾轻就熟。 6. talk sb up 替某人美言 为了给Elizhabeth的父亲留下好印象，Ross让朋友们给自己多多美言，Rachel从洗手间出来没有注意到Paul已经到了，大大咧咧地说 I am ready to talk you up.  talk someone/something up 替...说好话，吹捧...， 替...美言 Don't worry. I'll talk you up when your girlfriend's here. 别担心， 你女朋友来了我会替你说好话的。 Even though you talked him up. I 'm pretty clear who he is. 尽管你大力捧他， 但我很清楚他是什么人。 Rachel: Hi, I’m sorry I’m late but I am ready, ready to talk you up! When does Liz’s father get here? Paul: I’m already here. Rachel: Oh! Ross is sooo great! 7. kiss one's ass 拍马屁 Joey因为得罪了一起拍戏的机器人操作员，结果面临着被开除的风险，Monica最后的建议是 kiss some serious robot ass. Kiss one’s ass 拍某人的马屁 = lick one's boots 但是kiss my ass意思就不一样了，这是一种打消某人希望或念头的讽刺的说法。You want me to do this for you? Kiss my ass! 让我帮你做这个？门儿都没有！  Joey: Apparently, there’s like a million guys out there that can play Mac, and there’s only this one robot and this one guy who controls it! I didn’t know he could get me fired! What am I going to do? Monica: Well y’know Joey, you’re a pretty charming guy. Joey: Thanks, but I kinda have a problem to deal with here. Monica: No sweetie, you’ve got to win over the guy that controls C.H.E.E.S.E.! You’ve got to kiss some serious robot ass! 8. leve with sb about sth 对某人就某事说真话 Joey为了挽回工作不得不去跟机器人操作员沟通，因为都已经面临到被fire的风险了，他希望Wayne跟他说实话level with me  Level with sb about sth 对某人就某事讲真话 等于be honest with me  Joey: Morning! Hey, how’s my favorite genius and my little robot buddy?!  Wayne: Don’t touch him! Joey: Okay! All right. Umm, all right Wayne, level with me. Okay? I-I keep hearing all these rumors that I might get fired. Okay, they even have actors coming in to read for my part! Come on man, you-you got to give me a second chance! I mean, I love-I love this little guy!  Ah-ah!!  Okay, that’s why you didn’t want me to touch him right? Here you go! Okay? (Hands Wayne the arm and he goes to fix it. Meanwhile Joey starts to berate himself.) Stupid! I can’t believe it! God!  Hey, how you doin’?  9. give someone a jab 攻击某人  攻击了Ross一晚上，Paul自己也意识到了这一点说I know I've been giving you a lot of jabs.  give someone a jab = take a jab at someone 打击某人，攻击某人 Ross: (to Paul) Just-just so you know I was a freshman and she was a senior. So it wasn’t as bad as-as… Paul: Ross, look, I know I’ve been giving you a lot of jabs and it’s partly because I’m very protective of Lizzie, and partly because well, they just keep coming to me. But I have to admit that after all the wonderful things that Lizzie has told me and the many, many, (pause) many stories that Rachel has told me that, well (pause) you’re not (pause) all bad.

    Friends S06E20: 无意冒犯责备人 走运倒霉说不清

    1. solid 可靠的，值得尊敬的   Phoebe在帮Joey对台词的时候对自己表现很满意，对自己一顿猛夸。Joey赶忙说自己也不错。Phoebe的回应是You are solid. Yeah you are just not me.     当我们说一个人solid, 这是一个夸奖意思是这个人很可靠，很值得尊敬，口语里也表示非常棒best of best.  Phoebe: Oh my God. Joey: What? Phoebe: I am extremely talented! Joey: Yeah, you’re great! Okay, let’s take it from… Phoebe: No, I mean I was really acting my ass off. Joey: Yeah, I thought I was pretty good too. Phoebe: Oh yeah, you’re solid. Yeah, you’re just no me. Joey: Y’know what? I think that’s enough for now. Yeah. I don’t want to be over rehearsed. Phoebe:  Fine! I’ll do it without you! I don’t need you or anybody else! I’m gonna make it on my own! You’ll see!! You’ll all see 2. luck out 走运，交上好运 Joey接到了一部新戏，是和一个机器人来搭档。他扮演的角色名字叫Mac, 这个机器人简称为C.H.E.E.S.E. 这部戏就叫做Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E, 发音和奶酪意面一样。朋友们觉得很好笑，可是Joey去不这么想，他说Y’know they really lucked out that the initials spell cheese. 这里要注意luck out的用法，这个短语可以表示两种完全相反情况。 首先luck out 走运，交上好运(而获致某物) 例句：I was sure I was going to miss the train;but I lucked out, the train was five minutes late.本来我想我一定赶不上火车了，可是我真走运，火车晚点了五分钟。 Joey在这个对话中就是这个意思，他觉得用这个名字是这部戏的幸运。  其次，luck out 也有不走运，注定倒霉的意思 例句：The forecast’s very bad. We’ll luck out and get failed in this battle.气象预报说近期天气很不好。我们注定要倒霉，这一回我们准打败仗。 Chandler: (To Joey) So uh, what’s this thing you’re auditioning for? Joey: Oh, it’s a new TV show. Yeah. I’m up for the part of Mac Macaveli or "Mac." Yeah, I’m a detective and I solve crimes with the help of my robot partner. He’s a, he’s a Computerized Humanoid Electronically Enhanced Secret Enforcer or-or "C.H.E.E.S.E." Rachel: So Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. Joey: That’s the title! Yeah! Y’know they really lucked out that the initials spell cheese. Chandler: That is lucky. 3. no offense 无意冒犯 Joey参加完面试以后觉得效果不佳，在向Ross和Chandler说起两位朋友可能不理解自己压力很大的时候说I mean no offense, but what you guys do is very different. I don’t know if you’d understand. no offense 一般指出对方缺点时，或者表示不同观点的时候，都可以加这样一句，表示没有故意要冒犯的意思。 这实在是一句超级无赖的句子，因为通常在你对别人说了一句不怎么中听、不怎么礼貌的话之后,你就能说“no offense”，用于说明“无意冒犯哈”（很多情况下明明已经冒犯了,这么一说人家脾气都发不得内,真是很没天理……）或者有的时候只是担心别人多想,礼貌地补充一句“无意冒犯”，这时如容果对方大人大量压根儿没放心上的话,就应该回答说:“None taken.” Joey: I’m just so nervous! Y’know? The callback isn’t until tomorrow at five. I feel like my head is going to explode! Chandler: Well, it is overdue. Ross: Look, don’t worry. Okay? You’re gonna be fine. Joey: There’s just so much pressure. I mean no offense, but what you guys do is very different. I don’t know if you’d understand. Ross: Yeah, none of us have to deal with pressure at our jobs. 4. beat oneself up 自责 Chandler忘了转告Joey面试这件事让Chandler自责不已，Monica劝他Oh, stop beating yourself up! Beat sb up 本意是痛打某人.但是用在beat oneself up意思是后悔，就像kick oneself 一样当后悔讲 beat oneself up = blame oneself = kick oneself  自责 beat someone up over sth 为某事而责备某人  另一个相同意思的短语是point finger at sb.  Phoebe: (entering) Hey! Chandler: I can’t believe I did this! What an idiot! Monica: Oh, stop beating yourself up! People make mistakes! These things happen! There aren’t any message you’ve forgotten to give me are there? (Chandler has a disgusted look on his face.) Apparently you’re not very good at it! I… Chandler: Do you think he’ll ever forgive me? Rachel: Of course he will! But Chandler the most important thing is you forgive yourself! Chandler: Y’know what? I-I kinda have. Rachel: Already? That’s pretty bad what you did.

    Friends S06E19: 饱读诗书尽管来 到期把话说明白

    1. be due 到期了  Ross把自己的小女友Elizebeth介绍给朋友们认识，Elizebeth有事先走，Chandler调侃是不是作业没写完结果还真是。Ross说Yes, her molecular epidemiology paper is due tomorrow Be due 就是到期了 如果是overdue 就是过期了。  My rent/paper is due. 房租到期了。论文该交了。  due to = because of 由于 with due respect 恕我直言 with due diligence 恪尽职守 2. bring it on 放马过来 Ross对朋友们对他“老牛吃嫩草”的吐槽有心里准备所以说bring them on。 这句话一般用单数  bring it on. 尽管来吧，放马过来，通常用在一种竞争状态时对对手说的话。一部很不错的资深青春片讲述拉拉队的就叫做Bring it on 3. Chuck E Cheese 餐厅 Rachel取笑Ross说要去Chuck E Cheese 过生日。Chuck E Cheese是美国著名的连锁儿童餐厅。小朋友们选择去那里过生日。最近国内必胜客也想走这个路线，提供给小朋友过生日布置现场的服务了。Chucke E Cheese 就是做pizza 起家的。  Elizabeth: Well, I really wanted to meet you guys, but I have to run. I’ll see you later? All: Okay! Elizabeth: Bye Ross. Ross: Bye. Elizabeth: Oops! I did not mean to run into you like that sir. Ross: Oh that is quite all right ma’am.  Chandler: So, why is she leaving? Is it a school night and she has a lot of homework to do? Ross: Yes, her molecular epidemiology paper is due tomorrow. Chandler: Oh, tell her good luck with that. Ross: Anyone else? Huh? Bring ‘em on! Rachel: Oo! When’s her birthday?! Ross: I don’t know Rachel, why? Rachel: Well, y’know it’s just been so long since I’ve been to Chuckie Cheese. 4. chin dimple 下巴上的小坑 为了给Rachel找参加慈善晚宴的男伴，Phoebe和Monica夫妇杠上了，双方各自找了一个候选人。在比较两人优点的时候Phoebe说他找的人有chin dimple Chin dimple 下巴上的小坑。 外国人以这个为帅的标志，杰克逊还做整容整一个chin dimple. 我记得的曹云金一个相声里说这叫下巴上长个屁股。 Phoebe: (entering) Hey! Monica: Hey! Phoebe: Okay, I just thought of the perfect guy for Rachel to take to her thing. Chandler: Oh that’s so funny because we found someone too. Phoebe: Oh that’s good, I guess she’ll have a choice between my guy and your weirdo. Chandler: Why would our guy be a weirdo? Phoebe: ‘Cause that’s just your taste. Monica: (laughs sarcastically) Rachel is not going to pick your stupid guy. Phoebe: Oh yeah? Monica: Yeah! Phoebe: My guy is a lawyer who has volunteer work. And, he has one of these  Chandler: A face ass? Phoebe: A chin dimple! 5. well read 饱读诗书 Phoebe和Monica夫妇接着比两方候选人的优点。Phoebe列出一个优点 well read well read 饱读诗书 well后面加一个过去分词常见的还有 well said, well paid, well done 等等 Monica: All right fine, your guy may have a great body, but our guy is really funny. Phoebe: Oh, Chandler funny? Monica: Our guy’s a great dancer! Phoebe: My guy is well read. Chandler: Our guy has great hair. Phoebe: My guy has great teeth! Chandler: Our guy smells incredible. Monica: (To Chandler) Do you want our guy to be your guy? 6. grow on sb 逐渐上瘾 Elizebeth去Ross的办公室偷偷约会，Ross又被门把手给铬了一下，说了一句it kinda grows on you.这事儿还成了习惯了。 Something grows on sb 逐渐成为某人的喜爱，越来越上瘾了 Smoking grows on me. 吸烟上瘾了。 Elizabeth: You wanted to see me Professor Geller? Ross: Yes. Yes! Please, come in. Ross: Oo-oo! Elizabeth: Doorknob? Ross: Yeah, it kinda grows on you.  7. blow off some steam 释放压力 Ross由于担心想劝Elithebeth不要跟同学们去春游，Elizhebeth去春游的目的是为了blow off some steam Blow off some steam 释放压力，缓解压力 Ross: I’m so glad you’re going on this trip! Elizabeth: Yeah! I’ve been working so hard this semester. I really need to go crazy y’know, blow off some steam. Ross: Sure. Sure. Look I don’t, I don’t know if your plans are finalized yet, but umm, hey I-I know another great way to blow off steam. Elizabeth: What? Ross: Are you into crafts at all? 8. be blindsided 被弄得措手不及 Phoebe和Monica夫妇给Rachel搞了个突袭，把给她找的男伴忽然带到了她的面前。所以当男伴问Rachel How are you的时候，她的回答是Well-well a little blind sided。 Blind side 是一个橄榄球术语意为攻击其未防备处。前年的奥斯卡大热影片Blind Side就是讲述一个橄榄球员和收养他的家庭。这里Rachel把它当动词用了 be blindsided 被弄得措手不及。 Monica: Hey! Chandler: Good-good-good-good. Monica: Hey! Chandler: Hey! Rachel: Hi! Monica: We’re really glad you decided to meet our guy. Rachel: Oh… Monica: You’re gonna like him so much. So umm, when do you want to meet him? Rachel: I don’t know. I know I don’t work late tomorrow night. Chandler: Tomorrow night is good. Tomorrow night is good, but uh, y’know what? Why put off something till tomorrow that you can do right now? (Laughs) Eldad come here!  Rachel: What? Monica: Eldad, this is Rachel. Eldad: How are you? Rachel: Well-well a little blind sided but y’know good. 9. be in the middle of something 正忙着某事 为了摆脱尴尬的局面，Rachel说I am sort of middle of something. Be in the middle of something 正在忙着些事情 Phoebe: This is Patrick. Rachel: Oh, hi. Patrick: Hi. Phoebe: Yeah, this is the guy I was telling you about. Rachel: Yeah? Phoebe: Yeah. And believe me, this suit does not do justice to what’s underneath it. Rachel: Oh-okay, but Pheebs? Phoebe: Yeah? Rachel: I’m just sort of in the middle of something. Phoebe: Oh! Okay! Yeah, that’s okay. (To Patrick) Have a seat.  10. talk it out 把话说清楚 为了Rachel男伴的事情，大家越吵越烈，Phoebe大声说let’s talk it out. talk it out 把话说清楚，说明白

    Friends S06E18: 生死攸关请借过 仅供参考上厕所

    1. mind-blowing 令人感到惊艳的  学生对Ross讲课的评价是mind-blowing lecture.在前面的剧集里提到过blow one’s mind 让某人震惊, 现在用作形容词 mind-blowing, 令人吃惊的，大呼过瘾的 2. hottie 性感的人 学生在评价中对Ross的称呼是hottie of the paleontology department! hottie = sexy woman or man 性感的人 hot = sexy  too hot to handle 非常性感 3. at stake 在危机中 一屋子聪明人都无法想到如何确定给Ross评价hottie的学生，平时笨笨的Joey却相处了跟期末考试对笔迹的方法。Chandler调侃说A hot girl’s at stake and all of the sudden he’s Rain Man. At stake 在危机中，存亡攸关。 His life is at stake. 他现在命悬一线 4. Rain Man 美国影片《雨人》 Rain Man 是达斯丁霍夫曼奥斯卡称帝的电影，配角是汤姆克鲁斯。这部1988年的作品讲述了一个公子哥发现父亲将遗产留给了患自闭症的哥哥。便计划骗取这笔财富，并计划利用哥哥超强的记忆力去赌博赢钱，但在此过程中，血缘的亲情打破了原有的疏离，真挚动人的手足之情取代了原先只求一己利益的私心。一部很感人的电影。Chandler说Joey是Rain Man，意思是傻人忽然表现出聪明的一面。  Ross: Hey! I just got uh, my teacher evaluations! Check out what this one student wrote, "I loved Dr. Geller’s class. Mind blowing lectures! Dr. Geller, you are definitely the hottie of the paleontology department!" Chandler: Ahh, Hotties of the Paleontology Department, there’s a big selling calendar, eh? Rachel: Who wrote it? Ross: Oh, I wish I knew, but the evaluations are all anonymous. Joey: Oh hey, do you still have their final exams? Ross: Yeah. Joey: Oh, ‘cause you can just match the evaluation to the exam with the same handwriting and boom, there’s your admirer. Chandler: A hot girl’s at stake and all of the sudden he’s Rain Man. 5. be frowned upon 不被认同，不被接受 谈到与女学生谈恋爱，Ross说虽然not against the rules, but it is frowned upon.  be frowned upon 不被接受，不被认同 frown [fraʊn] 這個字在英文裡是動詞「皺眉頭、做出不悅的表情」的意思 說一件事會讓人「皺眉頭、做出不悅的表情」，就是讓人不認同 也就是社會大眾普遍不能接受的行為，但是又不到犯法的程度 注意要用被動語態 be frowned upon  例如Making sexual jokes at the workplace is often frowned upon. Rachel: Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute, why are we so sure that this is a girl? Ross: It’s a girl! Anyway, it wou—it wouldn’t matter. Okay? Because I’m a teacher and she’s a student. Chandler: Oh, is that against the rules? Ross: No, but it is frowned upon. Chandler: I see. 6. answer nature's call 上厕所 Rachel从洗手间出来要查一下谁给她打电话了，Monica打趣说nature called, she wanted to see who else did. nature calls 或者 answer nature's call 意思就是内急，上厕所 类似口语化的说法 Take a leak 方便一下，放一下水 Take a 1/2 （number 1 refers to peeing，number 2 to pooping） 大小便（1指的是小便，2指大便） Rachel: Hey Mon? I’m gonna check my messages. Chandler: You just thought of that in there? Monica: Yeah sure, nature called, she wanted to see who else did. 7. coming through 借过 Phoebe家着火了，她赶回家在一群消防员中穿梭， 一边挤，一边喊 coming through coming through 意思是 借过，借过！ Phoebe:Coming through! (Has to dodge a fireman) Oh! Coming through! (Sees a cute one.) Oh! Hello! Hi! (Smiles then realizes) No! Right! Coming through! 8. follow one's heart 跟着感觉走 Ross对是否要跟仰慕自己的学生开展恋爱关系陷入了两难，Joey劝说Ross应该follow your heart.  follow one's heart 做自己想做的事情，跟着感觉走有一个很有趣的事情就是follow one's heart 跟从自己的心意，简称为从心，这两个字放在一起就是“怂”啦，哈哈。  Monica: So it’s okay to date a student. Ross: Well, not really. I mean technically it’s-it’s not against the rules or anything, but it is frowned upon. Especially by that professor we ran into last night, Judgey von Holierthanthou. Monica: Well Ross, you be careful now. You don’t want to get a reputation as y’know Professor McNailshisstudents. Ross: Yeah. What-what should I do? Joey: Well Ross, it seems pretty clear. I mean what’s more important? What people think or how you feel, huh? Ross, you gotta follow your heart. Monica: Joey that is so sweet. 9. hot plate 电磁炉 Ross学校有规定不能做的事情date student and have hot plate in office.  Hot plate 在口语里是电磁炉。  10. for what it's worth 个人意见，仅供参考 看到校规里确实有不许师生恋的规定，Ross和Beth都很失望，Elizebeth很无奈地对Ross说For what it’s worth I did appreciate you standing up for me。 生活中我们都会遇到这样的情况，无论是被问到还是主动提出意见看法，说重了怕人不高兴，不说又让人觉得不中肯，这时候在英文里就可以抛出这句for what it's worth了 for what it's worth 个人意见，仅供参考，听不听在你。这个短语像是一个预防针或台阶，对方听了意见固然好，不听也不必感到尴尬内疚。 例如: For what it's worth, purple is not your color. 我说得不一定对啊，紫色不太适合你。  另外for what it's worth 也用来放在安慰别人的话之前翻译成“如果这能让你好受些的话” 或“虽然这已经没什么太大的用了” 这里Elizabeth就是这个意思。  Ross: Wow! It actually is in the handbook. I can’t date you or have a hot plate in my office. I can’t believe we have to stop seeing each other. Elizabeth: For what it’s worth I did appreciate you standing up for me. It felt really nice. It kinda made me like you even more. Ross: I know, I know I really like you too. But we-we can’t date. It’s against the rules. It’s forbidden. Elizabeth: Wow! Ross: What? Elizabeth: Just hearing you describe it as forbidden, it’s really hot. Ross: Really? Elizabeth: Yeah. Ross: Well I-I-I don’t care how hot it is it’s-it’s uh, it’s wrong. Elizabeth: Stop it! (She starts to get all worked up.) Ross: (feeling it too) No! No! It’s wrong! It’s-it’s-it’s naughty. It’s taboo. Elizabeth: Shut the book! Ross: Let’s also get a hot plate!
