不要……别清理我的灵气。可是……别碰我的灵气就是了。
-Phoebe: Fine! Be murky!
好吧,保持晦气!
-Ross: I'll be fine, alright? Really, everyone. I hope she'll be very happy.

-Monica: No you don't.

-Ross: No!! Okay?! Why does everyone keep fixating on that? She didn't know, how should I know?
没有!!行了吧?!为何大家都围着这个话题打转?连她不知道,我怎会知道。
-Chandler: Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian... (They all stare at him.) Did I say that out loud?
有时真希望自己也是个女同志。我刚刚大声说出来了吗?
-Ross: I told mom and dad last night, they seemed to take it pretty well.

-Rachel: Hi, sure!
当然,嗨。
-Ross: Hi.

and I was looking at this gravy boat.
看着船形卤肉盘,

非常漂亮的船形卤肉盘,
When all of a sudden
突然间….
(to the waitress that brought her coffee)

I realized that I was more turned on by this gravy boat than by Barry!
我了解船形卤肉盘此Barry更能引起我的“性趣”
And then I got really freaked out,
我自己都吓了一跳,
and that's when it hit me: how much Barry looks like Mr. Potato Head.

You know, I mean, I always knew looked familiar,

and I started wondering 'Why am I doing this, and who am I doing this for?'.
wonder: 想

(to Monica) So anyway I just didn't know where to go,
于是我不知该走往何处,
and I know that you and I have kinda drifted apart,

#讲解#
Central Park: 中央公园,坐落于纽约曼哈顿市中心
guy: 男人,家伙
work with: 与….共事
gotta=have got to: 必须
hump: 驼背
hairpiece: 假发
stare: 盯,凝视
bemuse: 发呆
go through: 经历
lapse: 飞逝
cafeteria: 食堂
figure: 认为,领会到
turn out: 结果是
weird: 怪异的
motified: 受辱的,羞愧的

sweetie: [口语]心爱者,爱人,恋人,情人;亲爱的人
reach: 到达,伸出
throat: 喉咙
grab: 抓取,抢去
intestine: 肠
pull out of: 把……从…….拉出来
【《大话西游》里面一开始孙猴子发狠就是这样子讲的,不知道是谁抄袭谁,这里Ross用来形容妻子Carol是Lesbian并同他离婚后的心情。】
explain: 解释
stuff: 东西
pluck: 摘,拉,拔
cleanse: 使...清洁,净化,使...纯洁
aura: 气味,气息
【然后当Ross坐下来之后,旁边的Phoebe想帮Ross除下晦气(Phoebe就是这么的相信神鬼之说),Ross说到“Stop cleansing my aura”。这句话中aura这个词是指的头顶上的光环,就像天使头上顶的那个甜麦圈】
murky: 晦气的,黑暗的【Murky这个词字典里面是黑暗的、阴暗的意思,这个地方可以理解为晦气、倒霉,这个是句很实用的用法】
lesbian: 同性恋的女性
stare at: 盯着看
gesture: 手势
consent: 同意
wedding dress: 结婚礼服
C'mon=come on single: 单身
hormones: 贺尔蒙,性激素
point: 指向
De-caff: 无咖啡因咖啡
survivor: 幸存者
million: 一百万
extend: 伸展
wanna= want to
bridesmaids: 伴娘
familiar: 熟悉
1. fixate: 使固定
Why does everyone keep fixating on that?
这句话很实用,意思是为什么你们总是提起那件事呢?因为Joey又提到了Ross妻子Carol是lesbian的事儿,Ross非常恼火,于是冒出这样一句,我们平常生活中也可以用一下。
2. joint的意思是地点,场地,通常用在不怎么高雅的地方。
Strip就是脱的意思,而stripper就是指的脱衣舞娘/男,这个意思绝对是字典里面查不到的。
3. freak out: 吓坏了【这个词是在口语中使用频率相当高】
4. Rachel: 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.
这句话里面有三个词组需要解释,第一个是turn on,也就是打开的意思,比如turn on the radio,这里是指让某人更兴奋激动的意思,想一想,平时在路上走,这时候有个sexy美女路过,你就可以说:wow,the gal really turns me on.第二个是freak out,这个词组很重要,几乎在每集都能听到,频率高的吓人,看来口语中很实用,在论坛上我看到以下几种解释,觉得不错,a.have an extreme reaction to sth b.act abnormally (under the influence of drugs) c.make sb feel extreme plaesure or unease,也就是表达焦躁害怕不安等情绪的意思。第三个词组是Gravy Boat,这是一个调味汁瓶酱油瓶,常常下面还垫着一个小碟子,非常精美的,所以Rach才说它给她带来的兴奋比Barry还大。
