The One With Joey's Porsche

Ross makes it pretty obvious that he still loves Rachel. Rachel reveals that it was her drunken idea to get married. Joey finds the keys to someone's Porsche. He decides to wait by the car until the owner shows up. He gets mistaken for the owner, and likes the attention he gets so much that even after the owner takes the car away, he keeps up the charade. Phoebe, Monica and Chandler take care of Frank and Alice's babies. Chandler gets a toy stuck in his throat and Monica takes him to the doctor. Phoebe has to take care of the babies by herself.

讲解

看来Joey和这个保时捷(Porsche)站在一起,不用费心思就能和美女搭上话,保时捷真是能给人带来好运呀。保时捷这种昂贵、豪华、漂亮的跑车即使在世界首富的美国也是备受人们注目。当然,世界上并不是只有一种牌子(brand/make)的车,也不是只有一种车型(model/body stvle),可能我们在谈车时津津乐道,什么车型,什么牌子,什么性能。可是如果我们遇到国外的爱车族,想交换一下意见的话,恐怕就不能那么畅快了吧。所以我们还是知道一些有关车的英文为好。下面对一些品牌车的英文名字作些介绍。
当然车除了品牌之分以外,还有车型之分。
高级轿车 | limousine/limu( )zi n/,saloon/salu n/(英), Sedan/sid n/; |
跑车 | sports car/sp |
敞篷车 | roadster/raudst / |
活动敞篷车 | drophead/draphed/,convertible/kanv |
旅行轿车 | station wagon/stei |
轻型小货车 | pickup/pik p/ |
再介绍一些关于车的基本词汇:车牌号码registration mark;汽车牌子make或brand;汽车型号model或body style;制造年份year of manufacture;引擎号码engine No.;车身底盘号码chassis NO.;座位限制seanting capacity。
读者还会发现,在Friends的第9季第18集中,Joey得知进球彩票累计奖金已经达到了3亿,所以想要去买上几注试试自己的运气。但是刚好在纽约还没有此彩票销售点,于是他想借Monica的车开到Connecticut(康涅狄格州)去买。Monica让Joey把借车的规矩一一重复了一遍,才给了他车钥匙。这一次,Joey借的还是Porsche,Monica和Joey的这段对话很精彩,我们分享一下:
Joey:Monica,hey,can I borrow the Porsche?
(Joey:Monica,我能借你的保时捷车用一下吗?)
Monica:Ok.
(Monica:可以。)
Joey:Alright!
(Joey:太好了。)
Monica:But ehm...what is it not?
(Monica:但是…记得不能用它做什么吗?)
Joey:A place to entertain my lady friends.
(Joey:不能在车里和女朋友乱来。)
Monica:And what elSe is it not?
(Monica:还有什么?)
Joey:A place to eat spaghetti.
(Joey:不能在车里吃意大利粉。)
Monica:Very good!(Gflies him the keys)What do yoH need it for nmyway?
(Monica:很乖!(给了他车钥匙)你需要开车去哪儿?)
Joey:oh well,the powerball lottery is up to 300 million and they don’t sell tickets here in New York,so...
(Joey:是这样,“劲球彩票”奖金累计到3亿了,而纽约没的卖,所以……)
Rachel:oh!So you’re driving up to Connecticut?
(Rachel:噢,所以你要开车去connecticut(康涅狄格州)?)
