故事梗概

由于不知情，Monica非常客气地邀请了Rachel一直讨厌的同事Gavin来参加Rnchel的生日晚会。Rachel本来对Gavin就没有好感，多么希望他晚上不会出现。可是在生日晚会怏结衷的时候，Gavin来了，送了Rachel一条围巾做礼物，还在阳台上拥吻了她。而不巧的是，这一切被Ross看见了。于是Ross一直耿耿于怀……

Ross: I can't believe Rachel just moved on and didn't say anything to me

Chandler: Maybe she didn't move on, you know...maybe that kiss was just an impulsive one-time birthday thing

Ross: No no, about a month ago she gave her number to some guy in a bar.

Chandler: Did she go out with him?

Ross: No. When he called, I...I threw the message away.

Chandler: Ah! The high road...

Ross: You know what? Enough! Enough talking! I have to get moving! Hey check out those two blondes over there!

Hey come with me!

Chandler: Are you trying to get everybody divorced?

讲解

这里再次出现check out，意思为“仔细看看；你看；你瞧”，在这一季的第一集中就有了这个用法，Joey对Chandler说：Some guys are having sex in the closet，check that out!(你去看看，有人在储藏室里做爱呢!)其实“check out”就是“看看”的意思，比如这句：Hey，check out those two blondes over there!(看看那边的两个金发美女。)

很多外国人觉得金发女子blonde girls很漂亮。所以很多女孩喜欢把自己的头发漂成金色，称作bleach your hair。但还有很多人认为blonde girls虽然漂亮，可是头脑简单。所以，就应运而生许多有关金发美女没头脑的笑话(blonde jokes)。例如：

A：How do you make a blonde girl's eyes twinkle?
(你知不知道要怎么让一个金发美女的眼睛亮晶晶?)
B：Shine a flashlight in her ear．
(只要用手电筒照进她耳朵就可以了。)

因为blonde girls脑袋空空，所以手电筒的光可以直接从耳朵通到眼睛那里，眼睛就亮品晶了!

说到脑袋简单，还有一种说法，即valley girl，指重视表面，但脑袋空空的女生。据说加州洛杉矶有一个叫the valley的地方。而加州女人给人的印象是爱打扮，但头脑不灵活，所以就叫valley girl。而还有另外一个词vain，表示虚荣的，对自己的容貌与能力自视甚高，有时也用来形容不明智的女人，例如：

I don't like that new colleague because she is vain．
(我不喜欢那个新同事，因为她很虚荣。)
