5-04　　Monica撒谎
故事梗概

Monica和Chandler从Gondon回来后，
一直伪装得很好．
一天， Monica在卧窒摆好了Pose等着Chandler，
碰巧有Monica的邮件，
所以．RacheL想给她送过去，
只听Monica隔着门发出一种很sexy的声音说：“Come in. I’ve been waiting tor you!” Rachel看到她的姿势后，
万分惊讶，
连忙从从Monica的房问中跑了出来；
Moneca则慌忙披上睡衣
(robe)
跟着跑出来给Rachel解释，
她谎称自己是在等一个waiten guy tnom the work，
这一招果然很灵Rachel居然轻信了她．
Monica: (pulling on a robe) Okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I-I-I was um, I was taking a nap.
Rachel: Since when do take naps in that position. Oh God Monica, tell me you were waiting for a guy! Please tell me you were waiting for a guy!
Monica: Yes. Yes, I was. A guy. From work. (Thinks) I'm seeing a guy from work! Ha!
Rachel: (Gasps) That cute waiter guy from your restaurant, the one that looks like a non-threatening Ray Liotta?
Monica: Uh-huh, that one!
Rachel: Y'know what, just give me a second and I'll be out of your hair. I'm just gonna grab a jacket. When I get back, I want every little detail. (There's a knock on the door.) Maybe that's him. (Goes to answer the door.)

讲解

nap是指“a short period of sleep，especially one during the time”，也就是“睡一会儿”(short sleep)，尤其是指“午睡”。take a nap或have a nap表示“小睡片刻、打盹”。例如：

I’d like to take a nap．(我想小睡一会儿。)

nap(小睡或打盹儿)这个词在《圣经》(Bible)中就有，“Behold，he hat keepeth Israel shall neither slumber NOr sleep”意思是“看吧，守卫以色列的人既不能熟睡也不能打盹”。

表示“小睡”的词还有forty winks，它的意思是“a brief nap"。例如：

There’s just time for　forty winks before we have to leave．(还有一点时间，我们出发前还可以打个盹儿。)wink这里的意思是sleep，并不是眨眼。
再如：

I’m getting my forty winks．(我想打个盹儿。)

英文snooze可以用作名词，表示“a brief light sleep”，也可以当作动词，表示to take a light nap；doze。也是“小睡、打盹儿”的意思。
