Frank: I finally got my band!
Alice: We're gonna have a big family, I've always wanted a big family!
Phoebe: Oh God, I'm so glad you guys are happy, I was so afraid you were going to be all freaked.
Frank: Why would we be freaked?

Frank: (They're less than happy now) Oh.

Frank: Yeah, refrigerator college.
讲解
退学可以说 drop out of school,或者直接说 quit school。drop out 表示
“退出学校、俱乐部或者比赛等” (withdraw from participation in a group
such as a school,club,or game);例如:
·He couldn't afford the membership dues and had to drop out.
(他负担不起会费,不得不退出。)
She planned t0 drop out from college for a year.
(她打算先退学一年。)
·He dropped out of college in his final year.(他在大学最后一年退了学。)
·We don't encourage university students to drop out and turn to
business.(我们不主张大学生弃学经商。) dropout 可以表示“辍学的学生”。
quit school 也可以表示退学,quit 这个时候的意思是 give up,当然,你可以用 quit a job 表示辞职。
如果想表示“被学校开除”,则需要用 expel,kick out 或者 drum out 等词或短语。例如:
·The pupil was expelled for stealing.(那学生因偷窃被开除。)
·He was drummed out of the schoo1.(他被学校轰了出来。)
