经典对白:

9-19 Chandler的周末计划

故事梗概

Chandlen准备给Monica一个惊喜--他已经订好酒店，打算带Monica去Venmont(佛蒙特州)一个非常浪漫的酒店度周末。没想到Monica工作实在太忙，因为餐馆最近生意好得不得了，确实没时间跟Gkandlen去享受浪漫。遗憾之余，ehnndlen打电话到洒店更改时间，结果酒店的规矩是已经接受的预订定金不退，而且预订以后不能更改入住时间。于是为了不浪费，Chandlen只好带Ross出游……

Chandler: So, what do you say? Can you get out of work?

Monica: Oh, honey! I can't. I was just telling these guys that things are crazy at the restaurant!

Chandler: Are you really that busy?

Monica: Yeah, I'm sorry. I really am.

Chandler: Oh, that's ok. I'll just try and reschedule. (on the phone) Hi, this is Chandler Bing. I made a reservation there and I need to change it. (pause) Oh, what do you mean it's not refundable? Can I just come some other time? (pause) Oh, can't you make an exception?

Monica: Tell them I'm a chef in a big New York restaurant!

讲解

这里出现的“get out of work”原意是指从工作中摆脱出来，逃出来，其实就是“请假”的意思。以“摆脱”之意再举一个例子：You should get out of your smoking habit，the sooner the better．(你应该尽快改掉抽烟的习惯。)

“get out of”还有“从……当中获利”之意，例如：

Michael organized the holiday trip，but I don't know what will he get out of it．
(Michael组织了一次旅行，但是我不知道他能从中收获什么。)

更多例子如下：
Get out of my face!(从我面前消失!)
Get out of my hfe!(从我的生活中消失吧!)

Things are crazy at the restaurant!“crazy”在该片断中指饭店的生意很好。crazy还可以用来形容一个人是神经病或是不可理喻的。例如：媳妇跟婆婆吵架后，对老公抱怨道：Your morn is crazy．(你妈妈真是不可理喻。)

同样的，crazy也常用来形容一件事情不甚合理，超出一般人所能想像的范围。例如：当我知道一本教科书居然要一百美金时，我的第一个反应就是，“That's crazy．”这是指一件事很不合常理。

但是crazy还可以暗指一件事情太不可思议了，以至于让人兴奋而血脉扩张。比方说一场比赛的最后，我方突然反败为胜，我想这种情况没有比用“That’s crazy．”形容来得更贴切了。所以这里crazy绝对是褒义而不是贬义。所以呢，当我们听到美国人说“This is crazy．”时，如果没听到前后文的话，还要观察一下说话人脸上的表情，才知道他所说的这件事到底是“荒谬”，还是很“不可思议”。

对话中的“reservation”是指酒店房间预定。“make a reservation”是预订或定位子，可以用来说预定酒店，预定吃饭的座位，预定航班等等。
例如：

I’d 1jke to make a reservatio for a single room for the weekend．
(我想预定本周末单人房一间。)
PEter made a dinncr rcscrvation for 6：00 p．m．on Friday．
(Pcter定了周五晚上六点吃饭的位子。)
I’d 1ike to change nly reservation for the flight to New York tilis mornlng.
(我想变更一下我今天早上飞去纽约的航班。)
