103 飛來橫財

羅斯終於發現真相：童年時的愛犬奇奇死掉了、而不是被送往農場養老，當年被父母善意的欺騙了。

錢德戒煙失敗；眾人皆不滿，錢德將矛頭指向各人的缺點，籍此轉移了注意力。

菲比從銀行得到一筆飛來橫財；她去投訴，反而陰差陽錯獲得更多賠償；她將錢悉數送人，對方報以一罐蘇打水——開罐飲用時發現了一根拇指在裡頭。飲料公司賠償給她7000美金。

莫妮卡的新男友阿蘭大受其餘五人愛戴，但莫妮卡最終和他分手。

阿蘭如釋重負，因為莫妮卡的五個朋友太纏人啦。

[Scene: Central Perk, everyone but Phoebe is there.]

Phoebe:n(entering) Hi guys!

All: Hey,nPheebs! Hi!

Ross: Hey.nOh, oh, howd it go如何?

Phoebe: Um,nnot so good. He walked me to thensubway他送我到地鐵 and said We should do this again!

All: Ohh.nOuch.

Rachel:nWhat? He said we should do it again, thats good, right?

Monica: Uh,nno. Loosely translated We should do this again means You will never see mennaked.

loosely adv.寬鬆地, 鬆散地/loosely translate 泛泛地解釋為

Rachel:nSince when?

Joey: Since always(=forever).nIts like dating language. Yknow, like Its not you means It is you.

Chandler:nOr Youre such a nice guy means Im gonna be dating leather-wearingnalcoholics and complaining about them to you.

datenleather-wearing alchoholics與皮革族的酒徒約會/總穿著皮褲又酗酒的人，應該是很嬉皮，古怪的，和他們約會可能會有刺激的感覺。但不一定說a nice guy就是比他們差，而是覺得和他約會比較悶，只能用nice來形容了。

Phoebe: Or,nor, yknow, um, I think we shouldnsee other people我們該試試別人 means Ha, ha, I already am.

Rachel: Andneverybody knows this?

Joey: Yeah.nCushions the blow.

cushion n.墊子, 軟墊, 襯墊v.加襯墊/blow n.毆打, 突然的打擊v.風吹, 吹氣於

Cushions the blow: 可憐的Rach問是不是只有她是顆嫩草，善解人意的Joey來了這麼一句，意思是take it easy.想想看吧，cushion是墊子的意思，用墊子承接打擊，當然是放輕鬆點的意思咯。這可以作為固定用法記下來。

Chandler:nYeah, its like when youre a kid, and your parents putnyour dog to sleep對狗實施安樂死, and theyntell you it went off to live on some farm.

go off v.離開, 去世, 消失

Ross:nThats funny, that, no, because, uh, our parents actually did, uh, send our dognoff to live on a farm.

send vt.送, 寄, 發送, 派遣, 打發/send sb off打發某人走，送走

Monica: Uh,nRoss.

Ross: What?nWh- hello? The Millners farm in Connecticut?nThe Millners, they had this unbelievable farm, they had horses, and, andnrabbits that he could chase and it was- it w- .....Oh my God, Chi Chi!

Connecticut n.（美國）康涅狄格/chase v.n.追逐，追擊

Phoebe: Um, not so good. Henwalked me to the subway and said We should do this again!Phoebe同一個男人出去約會回來告訴大家，那個男人怎麼和她說的。「We should do this again」，表面上好像是以後我們還應該再繼續約會，其實這是dating language，往往都是反著說的。Phoebe說完之後，大家都明白了，只有可愛的Rach傻乎乎的不明所以，還在那裡誇好，於是大家只好半是賣弄半是教她的舉了其他一些例子。比如「Its not you」就是「It is you」，「Youre such a nice guy」意思是 「Im gonna bendating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you」等等。戀愛中的人們想必能夠理解這些吧，是不是經常聽到女生說hate u？

Monica:nLets see, todays Monday... Never.

All: Oh,ncome on! Come on!

Monica: No.nNot after what happened with Steve.

Chandler:nWhat are you talking about? We love Schhteve! Schhteve was schhexy!.. Sorry.

monica之前在perk里談到她前一個男友總被他們嘲笑，原因就是那個男的說話舌頭不直，chan還學他說：「We love Schhteve! Schhteve wasnschhexy!」這次alan見面也開玩笑學著說「schhonmuch 」，所以大家都笑了。

Monica:nLook, I dont even know how I feel about him yet. Just give me a chance tonfigure that out.

figure outnv.合計為, 計算出, 解決, 斷定, 領會到 to 想清楚

Rachel:nWell, then can we meet him?

Monica:nNope. Schhorry.

[Scene: Iridium, Monica and Paula are at work.]

Monica: Inmean, why should I let them meet him? I mean, I bring a guy home, and withinnfive minutes theyre all over him. I mean, theyre like- coyotes, picking off thenweak members of the herd.

coyote n.一種產於北美大草原的小狼, 山狗/herd n.獸群，牧群

all over adv.全部結束,n到處, 渾身, <口>完全象/all over him 這裡all over him的意思是a.不喜歡，全身挑毛病/在另一集中chan對mon說 pheo is all over him ,這裡有b.引誘，往身上貼的意思。原義是c.非常喜歡...，著迷，因為喜歡得不得了，所以恨不得撲上去貼著neg:Im all over you.我對你非常地著迷.= I have a crushnon you. 這二句都是表達很喜歡某人的意思./All over somebody 還有一個很常用的用法, 我把他翻成 "三貼"n比如說你去舞廳跳舞, 看到有一對男女跳到三點都貼在一起了, 你就可以跟你的同伴說, Hey, look, the guy is dancing all over the girl. / 一字之差但是意思完全不同喔. 你要是說 Im over you, 就是說我跟你之間完了, 我不想再和你有任何的瓜葛. 這和nIm all over you 是完全不一樣的.

Paula:nListen. As someone whos seen morenthan her fair share of bad beef, Ill tell you: that is not such a terrible thing. I mean, theyre yournfriends, theyre just looking out after you關心你.

Asnsomeone whos seen more than her fair share of bad beef作為一個吃過的壞牛排比你看過的好牛排還多的人. /coyote是一種產於北美大草原的小狼，可以和hyena一起記憶。Pick off the weak members of thenherd,摘取、挑選弱處下手的意思。在Paula的回答中，她先擺了一下自己的老資格「As someone who』s seen more than her fair share of bad beef」（意即作為一個見了過多臭牛排的廚師來說，別忘了，她和Monica都是廚師這重身份，這裡她用bad beef比喻那些不怎麼樣的男人），然後告誡Monica這沒什麼大不了的，不是什麼糟糕的事情，畢竟他們是你的朋友，在你身後幫你留神著呢。/聽著，作為一個見了過多壞的牛排的廚師，我要告訴你：這不是壞事。這和中文裡有人依仗自己經驗豐富，開始給他人忠告時所說的——我過的橋比你走的路還長，吃的鹽比你吃的飯還多。這事兒我見得多了，聽我的沒錯。—差不多，就是表明自己下面的話具有可信度，表明自己有足夠的經驗來處理你所面對的困難。所以這裡應該是說「我已閱壞牛肉無數」 「這種事情我見多了」的意思n

Monica: Inknow. I just wish that once, Id bring a guy home that they actually liked.

Paula:nWell, you do realise the odds可能性 of that happening are a little slimmer if theynnever get to meet the guy..

the slimnodds微乎其微的可能性

odds這裡的意思是可能的機會、幾率，相當於Chance。記住一個片語odds and ends，是零碎的東西的意思，經常能看到報紙或者雜誌用這個片語作為一個欄目名稱。整句話翻譯過來就是：如果他們永遠不能見到那個傢伙，你會發現（他們完全接受他的）機會幾乎沒有。Slim的變形slimmer這裡表示非常渺茫的意思。

[Scene: Monica and Rachels, Chandler is smoking out on the balcony,nPhoebe is absent.]

Joey: Letnit go, Ross.

Ross: Yeah,nwell, you didnt know Chi Chi.

Monica: Donyou all promise?

All: Yeah!nWe promise! Well be good!

bash v.n.怒毆, 打壞, <美俚>盛會, 狂歡/Alan-bashing n.攻擊Alan

Monica: (to Alan) Thanks. Illncall you tomorrow. (Alan exits, to all) Okay. Okay, lets let the Alan-bashingnbegin. Whos gonna take the first shot, hmm? 這段話很多人討論過，主要集中在Alan-bashing上，其實之前Monica已經是下了很大的決心要帶Alan同大家見面，心裡已經做好了被挖苦的準備了（之前的wine guy,還有那個說話漏風的傢伙等等一定讓她被諷刺的很不爽），不過這次大家總算給足了面子，包括為了抽煙而寧願在走廊淋的渾身濕透的Chandler（dripping wet）,Monica一定覺得怪怪的，所以才會等Alan一走就面向大家：好了，現在開始Alan的批判會吧！（Alan-bashing是個有趣的組合，我們也可以用的，比如看到Antique欺負誰了，也可以來個antique-bashing嘛。「take the first shot」也值得記下，各種場合都可以用，「誰先來？」，呵呵，Antique的筆記那麼臭，開批判會啦，who』s gonna take the first shot?

(Silence.)

Monica:nCmon!

Ross:n...Ill go. Lets start with the way he kept picking at- no, Im sorry, I cantndo this, cant do this. We loved him.

nursery n.託兒所/rhyme v.押韻n.押韻，押韻詩/nurserynrhyme兒歌，童謠

There was a crooked man 莫尼卡的男友阿蘭受到了大家的好評，喬伊說他的笑容扭曲得很可愛。菲比就引用了一段兒歌，說：「曾經有一個扭曲的人(There was a crooked man)，他有一個扭曲的笑容，他生活在一隻鞋子里……」事實上，這是西方流傳已廣的兒歌《鵝媽媽歌謠》，不過，菲比 將引文全部引錯了，原文是「走在一條一英里(Mile)長的扭曲道路上」，而不是「扭曲的笑容(Smile)」；歌中人生活在「扭曲的小屋子裡」，而不是生活在鞋子里。所以大家聽菲 比這麼一說都有點困惑。但這可能不是菲比的錯，或許是菲比的媽媽一開始就教錯了，還記得菲比曾經以為某部關於狗的片子真的是喜劇收場嗎

(Dubious pause.)

dubious adj.可疑的

Ross: ...SonI think Alan will become thenyardstick against which all future boyfriends will be measured.

yardstick n.<美> 碼尺, 準繩

yardstick」 本身是一種丈量工具，即 「碼尺、準繩」，其引申之意也就是 「衡量…的標準或尺度」,後面跟介詞of或against, 比如：Is diploma the only yardstick ofnknowledge? Ross等幾個拚命吹噓Alan，也不知道是真的喜歡還是投Monica所好，總之Monica樂壞了。

Rachel:nWhat future boyfriends? Nono, I th- I think this could be, yknow, it.

Monica:nReally!

Chandler:nOh, yeah. Id marry him just for his David Hasselhof impression alone. You knownIm gonna be doing that at parties, right? (Does the impression)

David Hasselhoff 錢德勒在誇獎莫尼卡的男友阿蘭時說，就憑他「戴維·哈塞霍夫(DavidnHasselhoff)」般的表情，連錢德勒自己都想嫁給他。說著，錢德勒還學了一個表情。戴維·哈塞霍夫是著名的歌手兼偶像，曾主演過《霹靂遊俠》和《傑克和海德》。n

Ross: Younknow what I like most about him, though?

All: What?

Ross: The way he makes me feel about myself 他讓我找回了自我，或意譯為，和他在一起，讓我重拾自信。

All: Yeah...n

Commercial Break

[Scene: Central Perk, Monica is alone as Ross, Rachel, Chandler, and Joey enterndejectedly in softball gear.]

dejectedlynadv.沮喪地/softball n.壘球/gear n.齒輪，設備，裝置/in softball gear穿著壘球裝備

bugs adj.瘋狂的，發瘋的/bunny n.<兒>小兔子/second base二壘

Bugs Bunny 羅斯等和阿蘭出去打球，阿蘭身手矯健，在所有關鍵的位置上出現。羅斯形容他就像著名的動畫片「兔巴哥(Bugs Bunny)」裡面打壘球的「兔巴哥」，一會在一壘，一會在二壘，一會又在三壘。

innate adj.內在的/adore v.崇拜，喜愛

Chandler:nI personally could have a gallon of Alan.

a gallon of 一加侖的/a gallon of alan只是Chandler用來表達對alan喜歡程度的一個笑話罷，好像「日有三省」中的"三" 一樣，並非實指多少次，而是暗指「數量多，程度深」。

[Scene: An street, Phoebe walks up to a homeless personn(Lizzie) she knows.]

homelessnadj.無家的，無家可歸的

Phoebe:nHey, Lizzie.

Lizzie:nHey, Weird Girl.

Phoebe: Inbrought you alphabet soup字母湯.

Lizzie: Didnyou pick out the vowels母音?

Phoebe:nYes. But I left in the Ys. Cause, yknow, "sometimes y". Uh, I also have something else for you.n(She searches in her purse.)

alphabet soup:母湯是一種罐頭湯，裡面是切成ABC字母圖案的細麵條，讓小朋友邊喝湯邊把裡面的字母排成單詞來玩。而美國兒音背誦母音的口訣是：A, E, I, O, U, sometimes Y. 字母Y是半母音，有時候會當輔音使用，所以Phoebe覺得它不全然算母音，就保留在湯里了，並特意還強調 sometimes Y這個口訣。n

Lizzie: Saltines撒鹽餅乾?

Phoebe: No,nbut would you like a thousand dollars and a football phone?

Lizzie:nWhat? (She opens the envelope Phoebe has given her.) Oh my God, theres reallynmoney in here.

Chandler:nWell, maybe its a contest, yknow? Like, collect all five?

Phoebe:nDoes, um, anyone wanna see?

All: Nooo!

(Chandlernlights a cigarette.)

All: Oh,nhey, dont do that! Cut it out停止做某事or 住手，住口!

Rachel:nIts worse than the thumb!

Chandler:nHey, this is so unfair!

Monica: Oh,nwhy is it unfair?

Chandler:nSo I have a flaw! Big deal! Like Joeys constant knuckle-cracking isntnannoying? And Ross, with his over-pronouncing everynsingle word將每個字發得過於清晰? And Monica,nwith that snort when she laughs? I mean, what the hell is that thing搞什麼? ...I accept all those flaws, why cant younaccept me for this?

flaw n.缺點/Big deal有什麼了不起！/knuckle n.指節, 關節/knuckle-cracking扳指關節/snort n.v.噴鼻息

Joey: Well,nis it, like, a little annoying, or is it like when Phoebe chews咀嚼 her hair?

(Phoebe spits out吐出 her hair.)

Ross: Oh,nnow, dont listen to him, Pheebs, I think its endearing.

endearing adj.引起愛情的, 可愛的, 令人鍾愛的

Joey: Oh,n(Imitating Ross) "you do, donyou是嗎"?n

(Monica laughs and snorts.)

Ross: Younknow, theres nothing wrong with speaking correctly.

Rachel:n"Indeed there isnt"... Inshould really get back to work.

Phoebe:nYeah, cause otherwise someone might get what they actually ordered.

Rachel: Ohh-ho-hooohhh. Thenhair comes out, and the gloves（n.手套）come on.

gloves:是從一句俗語來的,其實就相當於hurt somebody。我估計是從拳擊那邊引過來的，as in boxing gloves/本來rachel是站在phoebe一條戰線上的（she thinks phoebes chewingnhair is endearing），沒想到pheobe「恩將仇報」的諷刺了她一回，Rachel覺得被出賣了，所以說phoebe has the gloves on.說有時候你還會聽到類似的說法：「notnlay a glove(fingure or hand) on」， which means leavenunhurt.

(They degenerate into bickering and Chandler happily starts to smoke,nundisturbed.)

degeneratenadj.退化的vt.退化degenerate into/退or蛻化為，墮落為/bickering n.爭吵

Flaw這裡是fault、drawback或shortcoming的意思， big deal單獨用在某句話中多半表示反語或者反問，用的更常見的是no bigndeal.意思是沒什麼大不了的。想想真替chandler鳴冤，中國還有很多男人不抽煙被斥為沒有男人味道呢，呵呵，果然他心裡不平衡了，開始數落起其它幾個老友的flaw來 比如Joey沒事就喜歡把指關節摁得直響(knuckle-cracking)、 Ross說起話來每個字的發音都那麼鏗鏘有力(with his over-pronouncing every single word)、Monica笑起來會打呼嚕(with that snort when shenlaughs),呵呵，這招就叫圍魏救趙。果然在他的挑撥離間計下，其他幾個馬上degenerate intonbickering,陷入了一場口水戰中去了。

[Scene: Iridium n.[化]銥 to 飯店名稱, Monica and Paula are working.]

Monica: Didnyou ever go out with a guy your friends all really like?

Paula: No.

Monica:nOkay.. Well, Im going out with a guy my friends all really like.

get through度過,脫險

Monica: Cannyou believe it? ...Yknow what? I just dont feel the thing. I mean,nthey feel the thing, I dont feel the thing.

Paula:nHoney.. you should always feel the thing. Listen, if thats how you feelnabout the guy, Monica, dump him!

Monica: Inknow.. its gonna be really hard.

Paula:nWell, hes a big boy, hell get over熬過去it.

Monica: No,nhell be fine. Its the other five Im worried about.
