402 <wbr>- <wbr>The <wbr>One <wbr>With <wbr>The <wbr>Cat

1.Monica: ‘Cause I ran into him at the bank, he is still soo cute.

   run into  偶然遇见,突然碰到;驱车造访

 

2.Ross: Are you sure she’s in the cat, or have you been taking your grandma’s glycoma medicine again?
 Phoebe: No Dr. Skeptismo!

  这里的Skeptismo(skepticism)是sceptic的意思,指的是一种愤世嫉俗,对一切即成事实表示怀疑的  人, 也常常指对基督教事宜表示怀疑的人。

 

3.Monica: You went to one where you were popular, and you got to ride off Chip’s motorcycle, and wear his letterman jacket.

  letterman 校内的优秀运动员, 很实用的词

 

4.Ross: No you do--y'know what, you’re not gonna suck me into this.

  suck sb. into sth.:使某人卷入某事(尤指坏事),拖某人下水。工作中,不乏有许多suck-up(拍马者),他们为达到目的常常suck around(为得到好处老在某人四周打转);也可能suck off(对上级或有势力的人巴结讨好)。

 

5.Rachel: (entering) You guys, you’re never gonna believe what I just found tacked up on a telephone pole! (She’s holding a flyer.) Look kinda familiar?

 tack on:用大头针钉上。第一天进cafe上班,抬头一看老板早已在tack board(布告板)上列出了今日的主要工作。先Hammered a tack into the wall and hung a painting from it.(用锤子往墙上钉上一颗钉子,再挂一幅油画。)再Tacked the carpet down。(将地毯钉牢。)最后,把沙发上开了线的靠垫,Put a few tacks in(粗略地缝上几针)。


6.Monica: Thanks, I’m set.

   "be (all) set to do sth "的意思是"准备好,都准备妥当了",例如:I'm all set to leave the country.有时, 你到超市买东西,买完要付账时,店员也会对你说"Are you all set?"。意思是问你是否想买的东西都找到了

 

7.Monica: No, it’s okay, not only did I get to go out with Chip Matthews, I got to dump Chip Matthews.

   dump sb 抛弃某人,甩了某人的最常用美式表达法

 

8.Phoebe: Ohh. Um-hmm. But y'know, she choose to find me. I mean, I have to respect her decision. Right?
Chandler, Monica, Joey, and Rachel: That’s a good call. Right.

Ross: No! No! Look--Hey, enough is enough! Look, I am sorry that you feel guilty or whatever about spending time with your new mom, but this is not your old mom.


   That’s a good call:此话有理。飞机快起飞了,你还想去机场的超市买点饮料,朋友提醒道:We could get a drink on the plane. What do you say? (我们可以在飞机上要点东西喝,你说呢?)你立刻迎合道:Yeah, that’s a good call. (说得对啊!)


   Enough is enough:“你不要得寸进尺啊!”
