The One With Ross' New Girlfriend
本集简介:
Rachel, ready to reveal her feelings to Ross, meets him at the airport; her plans fall apart, however, when she finds out about his new girlfriend, Julie. Chandler, already feeling guilty about revealing Ross's feelings to Rachel, now feels worse that he encouraged Ross to forget about her. The gang watches Sumo Wrestling. Phoebe gives Joey and Chandler haircuts; Monica wants one, too. Phoebe is reluctant because of Monica's picky nature, but finally gives in. Monica wants a cut like Demi Moore; unfortunately Phoebe confuses "Demi" with "Dudley". Chandler needs a suit made, and Joey refers him to the family tailor; while getting measured for pants, Chandler gets a little more attention than he bargained for. Ross sickens everyone (especially Rachel) with his constant gushing for Julie. In Rachel's depression, she sleeps with Paolo again.

但罗斯带着朱丽(华裔女孩)回国,却使她美梦破碎。

故事梗概
Ross到中国出差归来, Rachel满怀热情地去机场接他(pick him up),
但让她万万没有想到的是Ross带回一个叫Julie的中国女孩,而且两人正在恋爱中,
这让Rachel感到万分难过,这个不谙世事的千金小姐又会干出什么傻事呢?原来她去找Paulo寻求安慰了。
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, continued from earlier.]
Rachel: Ok, Paulo, why don't you just go get dressed, and then you be on your way, ok, bye-bye. (Paulo goes into his room.)
Monica: Rachel, how did this happen?
Rachel: I don't know, I just kinda ran into him last night.
Phoebe: Where?
Rachel: At his apartment. Is this juice?
Joey: Whoa, whoa. And the fact that you dumped him because he hit on Phoebe?
Rachel: Oh God, I know I'm a pathetic loser.
Monica: Honey, you're not pathetic, you're sad.
Chandler: People do stupid things when they're upset.
讲解
Friends中男女关系较为changeable,所以闹分手的情节比较多。例如:she dumped me.表示“她把我甩了”。在第1季中,当ROSS的前妻carol离开他的时候,他用的就是I was dumped by her.
再如:If a man threatens to dump you without premarital sex,you’d better dump the man first.(如果有人向你威胁说,若你不和他婚前发生性关系,他就要把你甩了的话,你最好还是先把他甩了吧。)
Jump当然还可以用来指“丢垃圾(trash)或垃圾堆”等。如:This town is a real dump.(这个小镇真是又脏又乱。)
Monica的妈妈对Rachel说:Oh,we were so sorry to hear about your parerts splitting up,dear.(听说你父母分开了,我们对此很抱歉。
Ross说I broke up with her.(我俩分手了。)Did you break up with your boyfriend or he dumped you?(是你要跟男朋友分手还是他抛弃了你?)再如:Couples who engage in premarital sex are more likely to break up before marrtage than those who do not.(同婚前不发生性关系的未婚夫妻相比,婚前就有性行为的未婚男女更有可能在婚前分手。)分手也可以用end our relationship表示。“Broke”also means have no money.例如:I can't go to the concert.I’m broke.(我去不了音乐会了。我浑身上下搜不出一个铜板来。)
Friends的第5季第2集中,Monica对Rachel说:I just ran into Dave and he told me that you blew him off!(大卫说你把他给蹬了!)
离婚则是divorce。如:She got a divorcc from him last year.(她去年和他离了婚。)After his divorce the father was given custody of the children.(离婚后,孩子们归父亲照顾。)
在摘录部分还出现了一个非常有意思的短语hit on somebody,通常当“为寻欢而接近某人”(to approach somebody seeking love,sex,etc.)来理解。有人将之翻译为“搭讪”,是一种非常文雅的说法。例如:That's the third guy that has hit on her tonight.(今天晚上,这已经是第三个和她套近乎的男人了。)当然,hit on还做“意识到”(to think up;to realize)、“发现”(to invent)讲,例如:He hit on a greit idea for improving the design.(他想出了改进设计的一个妙点子。)
还有,两人如果开始约会后,关系已经稳定了下来,用英语表示是go steady。下次,如果你想问,你俩是否确立了恋爱关系的时候,就可以问:Do you go steady with that boy/girl?
时下,“爱情英语”正在流行中。爱要怎么说出口呢?看看能否从这里学几招:
1.Are you seeing anybody?Are you dating anybody?(你在约会吗?)
2.I plucked up the courage to ask her for a date.(我鼓起勇气约了她。)
3.Will you go out with me tonight?/Can I take you out tonight?/Can I
ask you out tonight?(晚上和我一起出去好吗?)

24.she has a good figure.(她有着魔鬼般的身材。)
25.He is a man candy./He is so cool.(他帅呆了。/他酷毕了。)

27.The most miseratble thing in the world is that I am righc beside you,

28.No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is。won't make

29.To the whole world you may be one person,but to one person you may

已;但是对于某个人,你是他的整个世界。)
30.Don't cry because it is over.Smile because it happened.(不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,为你的曾经拥有。)
第9季第4集,在Phoebe与Mike的约会之前,Ross无意提到了Phoebe一直都没有固定男朋友这件事情,还说佩服她对待感情的态度——拿得起放得下。但是Phoebe却突然伤心起来,她想自己都30岁的人了,从来没有认真的爱过,还不如离过三次婚的Ross。结果那一晚跟Mike约会时她只要一想到这一点就开始哭。她猜Mike一定不会再约她出去了。Ross认为这是他的过错,
他有必要出面找Mike谈谈。
Ross:Yes,yeah,I said something stupid about her never having had a serious
relal ionship,but you should know she is so much fun,a wonderful person!
Please don't blow her off.(是的,我嘲笑她从来没有认真恋爱过,但是你该知道她是个很有趣很不错的女人!请不要甩了她。)
Mike:I'm not blowing her off.I actually just got off the phone with her.We're going out tomorrow night.I mean,I hope that's OK with you.stranger from the coffee house.(我没说要甩了她啊。我刚给她打了电话。我们明天晚上一起出去。我希望你没事吧,咖啡屋里遇到的陌生人。)
这里Ross说的Don't blow her off意思是说别甩了她。相反,两个人若是互相倾慕,两情相悦,可以这样说:He has a crush on her.(他对她十分爱慕。)若是指落人情海,爱得晕头转向:He fell head over heels in love with her.或是He fell for her head over heels.还可以是:He is head over heels in love with her.(他与她很快落入情海,爱得晕头转向。)
至于男女热恋时爱得“目中无人”或“形影不离”,也可以说:
They are two peas in a pod.(他们爱得像豆荚里的豆子一样形影不离。)
They only have eyes for each other and forget the entire world.(世界上似乎只有他们两个人。)
