He threatens to tell everyone the truth unless Chandler and Monica can come up with a story that makes him look good. They don't come through, so Joey creates a new lie: he slept with Monica in London and she's been after him ever since.

After Rachel steals her ideas in the first class, Phoebe feeds Rachel misinformation about the second book. Ross has a problem with rage after someone at work steals his Thanksgiving-leftovers sandwich. After scaring his co-workers, yelling at his boss, and getting upset at a psychiatrist, he gets put on tranquilizers.

经典对白:


5-09 Jane Eyre是机器人?!

故事栵概


Phoebe选修了文学课,Rachel凑热闹,但是她才没空读什么呢,就算有空,她也只对Vogue之类的时尚杂志感兴趣.Phoebe和Rachel一同去上文学课,头一课上讲的是埃米莉·勃朗特(Emily Bronte)的名作Wuthering Heights《呼啸山庄》。Rachel剽窃了Phoebe的答案,回答了本应是Phoebe的答案,这使她在课堂上出了一把风头,但当老师问及Phoebe相同的问题时,Phoebe却无言以对,当众出丑,这让Phoebe十分恼火。后来,课上Phoebe和Rachel要讨论的则是夏洛蒂·勃朗特(Charlotte Bronte埃米莉的蛆蛆)的Jane Eyre 《简·爱》。 Phoebe为了报复,就告诉Rachel这是一本关于机器人的书,误导Rachel说Jane Eyre是机器人。Rachel居然连《简·爱》都没有看过,相信了Phoebe,—吉果让人贻笑大方。

Rachel: What are you reading?


Phoebe: Umm, Wethering Heights. I'm taking a literature class at the New School and I have to finish it for the first session tomorrow.

……

Phoebe: Fine! Okay, all right, so Jane Eyre, first of all, you'd think she's a woman, but she's not. She's a cyborg.


Rachel: A cyborg?! Isn't that like a robot?!

讲解

Wuthering Heights《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家埃米莉·勃朗特(Emily Bronte)的名作,它讲述了19世纪的一个悲剧爱情故事,在英国约克郡一个阴沉的荒原(moor)上(象征主义手法,“moor”象征着Mr Heathcliff的野性),吉普赛弃儿Heathcliff为“呼啸山庄”的庄主Mr.Earnshaw所收养,在庄主去世后,他被庄主Mr Earnshaw的儿子Hindley少爷欺凌和虐待.可Hindley的妹妹Cathy却迷上了他,但Cathy无法拒绝自己想过优裕生活的愿望,于是嫁给了另一个庄园的庄主Edgar Linton。Heathcliff含恨悄然离去。多年后,Heathcliff回来复仇,诱骗致使Hindley破产,购山庄以辱Hindley,并娶Edgar Linton的妹妹Isabella Linton为妻,Heathcliff想借对Isabella Linton的冷淡无情和无情折磨以伤害报复Cathy和Edgar Linton。Cathy难捱重挫,悲伤过度,弥留之际与Heathcliff诀别。Cathy死后,Heathcliff虽然成为两大庄园之主,恩怨已了,情仇已报,但他却心神错乱,郁郁终日,在哀悼Cathy,期待死亡中捱过了20年,在无奈中走向自我毁灭。直到Cathy的幽灵在一个严冬的雪夜把他召唤……


Jane Eyre是《简·爱》里的女主人公。《简·爱》主要通过简·爱与Rochester之间一波三折的爱情故事,塑造了一个出生低微、生活道路曲折,却始终坚持维护独立人格、追求个性自由、主张人生平等、不向命运低头的坚强女性。命运先是把简·爱抛掷到了一个父母双亡、寄人篱下的生存环境。姨妈的嫌弃,以及表兄的辱骂与毒打,并没有使她向命运低头。而随后在Lowood School寄宿学校的生活,那是肉体上的受罚和心灵上的被摧残的开始,但她没有在屈辱中沉沦或投降,而是不断奋发进取,性格变得格外刚强。她像石缝里的一棵小草,不屈不挠地成长起来。


之后,简·爱到Thornfield当了一名家庭教师,她一踏进Thornfield 便卷进了爱情的漩涡。在爱情问题上她同样不亢不卑,始终保持着个人的尊严。她同Thornfield的主人Rochester的地位更为悬殊,一个是有钱的雇主,一个是普普通通的家庭教师,但她从来认为他们是平等的。因此就有了大家耳熟能详的经典对白:“Do you think,because I am poor,obscure,plain.and little,I am soulless and heartless?You think wrong.I have as much soul as you,and full as much heart!And if God had gifted me with some beauty。and much wealth,I should have made it as hard for you to leave me,as it is now for me to leave you.I am not talking to you through the medium of custom,conventionalities,nor even of mortal flesh:-it 1s my spirit that alddresses your spirit;just as if both had passed through the grave,and we stoodat God’s feet,-equal,-as we are!“(难道就因为我一贫如洗、默默无闻、长相平庸、个子瘦小,就没有灵魂,没有心肠了?你想错了。我的灵魂和心灵跟你一样充实!如果上天能赐予我一些美貌和财富,我一定会让你很难离开我,正如我现在难以割舍你一样。我不是根据习俗、常规,甚至也不是血肉之躯同你说话,而是我的灵魂同你的灵魂在说话,就仿佛我们两人穿过坟墓,站在上帝脚下,彼此平等——本来就如此!)


简·爱身上有一种不可战胜的内在人格力量和魅力。虽然柔弱矮小,却性格独立,自有主见,自尊自爱。当她发现Rochester已有结发妻子时,出于自尊自重,不顾Rochester再三挽留和恳求,毫不犹豫地离她心上人而去。她的爱情观不搀任何杂念,她不做金钱的奴隶,不做他人的附庸,她永远是独立的。最后,当她得知Rochester在大火中为拯救发疯的妻子而不幸双目失明,躯体严重致残,丧失独立生活能力,她以全身心的爱投入了Rochester的怀抱。这是一种无私的爱,只想着付出,不要求回报。


由此可知,将自由、平等和尊严视若生命的简·爱,完全不同于柔顺和依附于男性的传统女性形象,她用自己的故事证明了“上帝面前人人平等”。她最鲜明的个性是反叛,她的不屈不挠的抗争和叛逆,是对命运和传统观念所发起的挑战。
