本集简介：
The One With Rachel's Date

Phoebe starts dating Monica's new assistant chef (Tim). But when he doesn't work out either as a chef or a boyfriend, they fight over who's going to dump him first. Chandler (whose middle name turns out to be Muriel) blocks the promotion of Bob, who is under a 5-year mistaken notion that Chandler's name is Toby. Joey introduces Rachel to his Days of Our Lives co-star (Kash), and they go out on a date. This bothers Ross, who is concerned with whom his unborn child is spending time. Her date doesn't go well because Kash doesn't react well to news that she is pregnant. Ross helps her understand how great it will be to have a baby, and invites her to have a cup of coffee. She declines, so he goes to the coffee shop on his own. Rachel, realizing how great Ross is, changes her mind, but she reaches the coffee shop only in time to see Ross hook up with Mona (from Monica's wedding).

故事梗概

Phoebe 在Monica 的餐厅结识了一个助理厨师tim。Phoebe 觉得tim 人不错。就同意和他出去约会。两个人度过了美好夜晚．可第二天，phoebe 和Monica 在谈论tim时两个人的观点大相径庭(be widely divergent)。Monica 要炒掉tim，Phoebe却为他求情。

然而,后来Phoebe 也发现tim不是自己想要的男人。这样，Phoebe 和 Monica 两个人的意见终于达成了一致：那就是同时都想抛弃tim，都要“炒掉” (tire)他。曼有意思的是，两个人都要抢先告诉tim。可怜的tim究竟是该先失业呢，还是先失恋呢？

Phoebe: Ooh Monica!

Monica: Hi!

Phoebe: Oh my God! I had the best time with Tim lastnight. He is so sweet! Oh, I can't wait to get sous-neath him.

Monica: I... I have to fire him.

Phoebe: But why?!

Monica: Because he's terrible! Okay, he's slow, he burnsthings, last night he lit my pastry chef on fire!

讲解

如果我们想表达“过得很开心，玩得很愉快”，就可以说have a good time或者have a wonderful time。Phoebe 和 Tim 约会(date)之后她用the best time表达她的非常开心的心情(feelings)。过新年，圣诞节或者春节时，我们常说，送给你“良好的祝愿”，英文如何表达这一意思呢?对了，那就是send you my bestwishes。这个短语也同样用了最高级表达。

这一段中还有一个有意思的词，那就是fire。学过英文的人，哪怕是初学者(beginner)　也知道fire是“火”的意思。比如说“马害怕火”就可以说成“Horses are afraid offire．”。我们人倒是不害怕火，但也不能玩火(play　with fire)，是吧。俗话说“水火无情”啊，那咱们就多学几个关于火的词语吧。火警报警器是fire alarm，消防队被叫做fire brigade，消防员可以说成fireman或者fire fighter，消防车叫fire engine。平时消防员也会搞一些消防演习(fire drill)，我们普通百姓遇到火警时一定要镇定，拿起灭火器(fire extinguisher)先想办法灭火。记住千万不能坐电梯(lift)!尽快找到安全出口(fire escape)，毕竟生命只有一次啊!

我们说了半天，讲的全是危险的事情。下面我们讲几个稍微轻松一些的短语。节日里放的爆竹英文怎么讲呢?很简单，就是fire cracker。节日的焰火可以用firework来表达。

最后希望大家好好工作，天天向上(Work hard every day，and make progress gradually)。
