当时Rachel说了一堆理由为自己辩解,但知道自己做得确实不太对,又不想丢面子,所以我认为这儿可以理解为“我可不是在为自己开脱”或“我可不是在狡辩”,其实是在给自己找个台阶下。

【906】The One With the Male Nanny (the 200th Episode)
jeffwu
1. YOU BET YOUR ASS I AM! 我还就是在吼呢!
You bet YOUR ASS, 这里your ass是为了加强语气, 用法来源是you bet.
当老美说, "You bet." 的时候, 就代表你说的一点也没错的意思呢? 因为 bet 是下赌注的意思, 所以 "You bet." 就是指, "You can bet money on that." (你可以把钱下注在上面), 言下之意, 就是说这件事百分之百正确. 例如别人问你,
"Is this is the way to High Tower Museum." (这是往 High Tower 博物馆的路吗?) 你就可以回答说, "You bet." (一点不错)
2. Awesome.表示赞同的说法, 还记得sleepless in seatle里Hanks说的连续的表示赞同的说法, 很经典,不过记得不全了.
Monday is ok,... is good... is...great... would be even better..

how CAN I NOT.. why DO YOU NOT...这与语法规则相悖,但是在口语中常用,正式句型为:how cannot I tell.. why don't you...
补充: (又看了一遍电影), 这种方法应该是为了突出: 没有做某事...,因为听剧中人用这种否定词后置紧跟动词的时候, 否定词not总是重读的...
另见7, why don't you just keep digging, 这里用的是正常句式, 因为这里Phoebe是要Make继续DIG....
21. isn't it ironic that David would show up on the same day that you and Mike exchange keys?

Pilates其实糅合了东方和西方运动概念而成的。西方人一向着重于身体肌肉和肌能训练,例如腰、腹、背、胸等,而东方人就着重于呼吸和心灵集中的训练也就是冥想、瑜伽和太极就是个好例子。
Pilates把东方的柔和西方的刚毅二者之长合二为一,它的动作缓慢和清楚,而每个姿势都必需和呼吸协调,所以Pilates最适合任何年龄,特别是少于运动,长时间需要接触电脑和朝九晚五上班一族的人士。伸展也是Pilates中主重训练之一, 其特殊之处就是肌肉不会经运动后导致发达,所以Pilates运动在身体线条改善之余也能矫正颈和脊髓的功能。

在月球上走路的宇航员身上不都有strings嘛,要不然万一回不了飞船不就废了,pheo说那些人能在月球上走是胡扯,没绳子牵着他们根本走不了。 作者: lavanew 时间: 2003-11-1 09:51
909 : The One With Rachel's Phone Number
1.dead on 的意思应该是 ‘太像了,就是这个’
Phoebe说 Rachel 学 Ross 学的很像,但学自己就不够winy(娇气?),后来她说那一串话才是真正她的语气,然后Phoebe就嘲笑她,这话才像你说的. 作者: lavanew 时间: 2003-11-1 09:52
【910】The One With Christmas In Tulsa作者: lavanew 时间: 2003-11-6 19:51
【911】The One Where Rachel Goes Back to Work
1.I'm rubber, you're glue
这句话我记得在Friends中最少出现了两次。第一次在104,Ross向小孩要他的puck,那时大概可以知道他的意思,第二次是911,就不是特别明白Rachel到底指什么。昨晚赶快下了中文看看别人怎么翻译它的,没看懂。最开始以为是句俚语,哪知道不是,今天到网上查了一下,可能明白了它到底指什么,但不确定,望高手指正。
“I'm rubber, you're glue"是一首儿歌中的歌词,不是俚语,原文是”i'm rubber ,you're glue, everything you say about me sticks to you." 现在有人另作了一首歌,其重复部分为“i'm rubber, you're glue, Everything bounces off me and sticks to you"..从这些可以认为,这话意思就是,你怎么对我,我就要怎么对你。
我挨打你倒霉,小孩子斗嘴用语,意指不管对方骂什么,都是在骂他自己。 作者: lavanew 时间: 2003-11-6 19:51
【912】The One With Phoebe's Rats作者: lavanew 时间: 2003-11-6 20:08

jeffwu
1. Just give me a second to get all huffy and weird like you!
huffy: (形) 怒冲冲的; 傲慢的; 不悦的
weird: (形) 怪异的, 不可思议的, 超自然的
我的理解: 就是"你怎么了?" "怎么这么生气, 看起来很奇怪?"
老外很喜欢用weird描述某人看上去与平时不同, 本章后面Rachel.说Chandler纹眉后也用了这个词: Your eyebrows look weird. 注: eyebrows用复数, 因为是两条眉毛
4. that's why I came over to talk about.
came over, 地道的说法, 我一般说:came here...(please recite:)
5. I mean if she wants to move on, that's fine!
解释一下,这里需要理解场景, Ross和Rachel 生了小孩,他们住在一起, 但没结婚(听起来很weird吧?:) 现在Ross说rachel想move on, 我的理解:she wants to date someone.. to find another boyf or even hunsband
9. during the inter-departmental potluck dinner.
inter-departmental应该是类似单位各科员工家庭联谊之类的. 因为potluck是家常便饭的意思.
10. why did I get married?
11. headshot: 大头照??
12. it depends.... on? 一般表示"这很难说",大家都说, it is hard to say... 典型chinlish, 应该说, it depends! 以文中句子为例:
Joey said: Is that weird for a guy? 一个男孩做纹眉是不是很怪异?Phoebe回答: 很难说, 这得看了. Joey 用一个很简单的词就继续问了, ON?? 意思是, 这得看什么? 怎么说?
13. sex change process! 变性手术怎么说?
14. knuckles (名) 指关节; 肘; 膝关节; 蹄 (动) 用指关节敲打
15. you dye your hair.. 染发, 看来chinlish也有对的时候
16. Double standards! 我的理解:女权主义 要看原文理解了...
Double standards 双重标准
People say double standards if a man can do something but a woman gets criticized for doing it. or a woman does something that a man gets criticized for.
another example:
A man wakes up early every day to make sure his hair is just right. a girl might think he cares too much about his appearance and call him vain...even if she does the same thing. if he finds out that she does the same thing, he might say "err, why are there double standards." society doesn't allow the same behavior for some things, so its okay for one sex but not the other.

21. pass judgments on others?
精彩推荐: 我可一直没想出怎么说" 对人说三道四", "对人评头论足" ,和和.
提醒另一个PASS的成语: MAKE A PASS。。 向某人抛眉眼,送秋波。我不记得这是男对女,还是女对男的时候用这个词了, 不过相对的一个是FLIRT。呵呵,想起来再说吧。懒的查了。
22. I am there! 我为什么把简单的这句话拿出来说?, 看原文吧.
23. How did I missed that? 我怎么把这么精彩的一幕给错过了, miss something,另一个意思,思念..miss you a lot!

27. Five-month maternity leave, you're back for four days, kiss a co-worker, call in sick, they are lucky to have you!
老外拐弯抹角说话的本事真强, 托福听力经常在难题部分这么考, 如果你想托福听力拿高分, 多听几句这种高级说法(具体意思看原文)
28. tweeze (动) 以镊子除去; 以钳子拔除
29.Please I have an extremely high threshold
30. I am here for my eyebrow appointment.
老外看医生, 约律师都要appointment, 比如你说你约好牙医看牙, 你可以说I have a tooth appointment today, 注意, tooth 用单数, 和上句eyebrow appointment同理. 语法里有,名字做形容词时,用单数:比如这个:eyebrow appointment
31. Please I have an extremely high threshold
threshold (名) 门槛, 开端, 入口
上句医生说这会有点疼, Joey就这么回答. 我的理解是, 行了, 我没问题. 哎, 这里还是看原文理解吧, 难翻译
32. Hey it's the most eligible man in NY. 嘿,纽约最有资格约会的人来了。
Theres a really common saying...if a man or woman is single, he/she is "eligible" for dating. eligible (available+likeable etc.) for meeting women/men. its most common to say "eligible bachelor".
33. You know I can only dish it out!
不知道这里dish out是什么意思,谁能帮帮我? 字面意思是:
dish out 盛于盘中
34.maybe that kiss was just an impulsive one-time birthday thing
impulsive (形) 冲动的, 任性的, 受感情驱使的。想想一时冲动做出的事怎么说?
这里意思是: 那个kiss也许不过是过生日呀,一时冲动的举动而已.

当时听的时候我没理解number在这里的意思, ok, 现在知道了,老外说电话号码, 只是简单说, number..
36. check out those two blondes over there!
check out, 仔细看看.. 你看... 你瞧..

37. you break the ice with some kind of jokes

40. paranoid: 偏执狂,极端
41. It was my idea to stand there. 注意语气, 注意句子重音在MY上,意思是: 躲那是我的主意(请看原文, GAVIN说: it was MY idea...看来绅士的不只是英国人, Gavin说这句话是为了不让Rachel尴尬, 男士一定要学会...

44. I'm just all over the place 不知道这里这句话的确定意思. 有什么含义么?
我就是完全放不下。
45.No time for losers... cause we are the champions of the world...
The song Phoebe sings, and I can sing, do you wanna hear?
这是Queen, 皇后乐队的一首名曲: we are the Champions...
46. Yeah I do rock that one 这里Monica说她的确rock that one (song), rock是哼唱, 还是rock and roll 的rock??
意思是把歌唱成摇滚调的
47. You already hit on me an hour ago... 一个小时前你就跟我搭过讪了..

strike out 好像是棒球的三垒出局的意思,引申为失败, 友情提醒: 别说fail to do... , 说strike out!!!

50. dish it out! You know I can only dish it out. 你知道我光会说别人。
There's a saying. "you can dish it out but you can't take it". it means the person can make mean jokes to other people (like when you tease your friends) but the person can't take it when others tease him for something. so if the person says he can only dish it out it means he can't handle being teased at.

kind of
you know, it was kinda nice.

1. You know I can only dish it out.你知道我光会说别人。
there's a saying. "you can dish it out but you can't take it". it means the person can make mean jokes to other people (like when you tease your friends) but the person can't take it when others tease him for something. so if the person says he can only dish it out it means he can't handle being teased at.
2.take the high road 高姿态,高尚(我翻译不出来)
the high road is what you call it when a person chooses to do the most moral and upright thing but its also the more difficult thing.
3.you can tweeze circles around that sadistic bitch at the saloon.你比美容院里那个虐待狂拔得好多了。
there's this common saying about doing circles around something. it means "sb. can do this thing a lot better than another person"
it also has another meaning. when you say "he talked circles around it" it means the man wasn't being direct for some reason. he didn't really say what he meant or he was trying to avoid saying something.
but! for the first meaning, here is another example:
a--i heard you're a great dancer.
b--yeah that's what people say.
a--well, i bet michael jackson could dance circles around you.
4.high maintenance 难伺候,麻烦
"high maintenance" usually is something guys say about girls and girls say about guys. it's kind of like an old car. you really have to treat it well, take good care of it, check the parts of the car often to make sure they're working properly because the car is old.
men or women who spend a lot of time to get ready in the morning or men or women who need a lot of attention are considered to be high maintenance.
5.double standards 双重标准
people say double standards if a man can do something but a woman gets criticized for doing it. or a woman does something that a man gets criticized for.
another example:
a man wakes up early every day to make sure his hair is just right. a girl might think he cares too much about his appearance and call him vain...even if she does the same thing. if he finds out that she does the same thing, he might say "err, why are there double standards." society doesn't allow the same behavior for some things, so its okay for one sex but not the other.
6.dude, don't rub my face in your crazy single life!老兄,别用你疯狂的单身生活刺激我。
rub my face here just means don't get me involved.
there is a saying, "dont rub it in my face." for example, if you make 10,000 yuan every month and i make 5000 and we work the same amount of hours and had the same college degree and you were stating, "hey i make a lot of money." i could say, "don't rub it in my face" but i mean, "don't take that sad fact and make it obvious to me because i don't like to hear about it. "
7.hey, it's the most eligible man in NY.嘿,纽约最有资格约会的人来了。
theres a really common saying...if a man or woman is single, he/she is "eligible" for dating. eligible (available+likeable etc.) for meeting women/men. its most common to say "eligible bachelor".

例句:
1. when you accidentally walk in on a woman using a breast pump
2. you just walk in on them having sex.

我理解的是: 这一句式是美国人常用的表示: 正巧撞见某人做某事, 的用法.( 没查字典及解释, 个人理解)
set up的用法:
Set sb up on a date.为某人安排一个约会.
set sb up with sb/a date, date这里是"赴约会的人"的意思.
