故事梗概

这一集中，Ross无意闭撞见Rachel和Joey拥吻，顿时大脑片空白，呆若木鸡。但随后，Ross又大方地表示不难过，不介意，衷心祝福好朋友幸福，逐热情地邀请二人与他和Chanlie共进晚餐。
on the dinnen，Ross’s behavion was weind and he was dnunk.在这顿带着面县的晚餐背后是一颗有些失落和破碎的心吗?
Charlie: Hi, hi. So.. Dreading this?
Rachel: Oh, you bet.
(Joey sees that she's carrying a small red bag.)
Joey: So, did you bring a little something for Ross?
Charlie: Actually.. It's stuff you left at my apartment.

讲解

You bet!相当于of course!certalnly!sure!For sure!word!The word of God!You'd better believe it．表示较强烈的肯定和同意。通过“You bet!”，我想介绍给大家一种Language Function--How co say“yes”and “no”(怎样说“是”和“不是”。)

stronger NO(语气较强的“不，不是”)
No way!
Never，cvcr!
Forget it!
Not on your ljfe!
Not for a11 the tea in China!
Are you frcaking kidding me?
It is the last thing in the world
I’m gonna do．

stronger NO(语气较强的“不，不是”)

I don't think so．
I’m afraid it's not my cup of tea．
I’d rathcr not．
Not 1ikely．
I doubt it．
Probablv not
That’s probably not such a good idea．

“stuff，kind of，sort of”是英语口语中经常出现的表达，特别是笼统地指某事物，或说不太清楚，想不起来具体是什么时，也用于想减弱语气时。

在口语中几乎作为“master key”(万能的钥匙)。使用他们，能为你的口语表达增添那么一点点“洋味儿”吧!比如：
Yon know what? Enough is cnough．
I'Ve got flcd up wl’th this soyt of stuff．
I like chocolate and stuff like that．
We'll have to carrV a11 our camping stuff．

kind of(kinda)(口语，非正式)：Used when you are trying to explain or describe something，but you cannot be exact．例如：It was kind of weird to wear this in the fancV dress ball．I was kinda sorry to bYeak up Wlth hlm.

sort of(非正式)：in some way or to some degree(某种程度上，某种意义上来说，有点)例如：I was sort of hoping to meec you now．It’s sort of silly，but gotta do this．
apartnent这个词的意思并不难理解，这里我想提出的是American English和British English之间的微小差别。无论是作为英语专业的学生还是英语爱好者，对此是应该或多或少有所了解的。
(英美用词的不同)

经典对白之二：

10-02-2
三个小孩一台戏

故事梗概

在这一集中，Fnank in．带着调皮捣蛋的三胞胎来看Phoebe，想请菲比领养一个小孩，结果发现每一个孩子都那么可爱，一个会编“有趣”笑话，一个会打着嗝说出英又字母来，一个是小天才。最终，Fnank 发现虽然这调皮捣蛋的三胞胎让他发疯，让他很疲惫，但却哪个孩子都割舍不下。

Phoebe: Well, that's not good. But you know, I can move some stuff around, and I'll be there. You and Alice just take the whole day together.

Frank Jr.: You'd do that for us?

Phoebe: Are you kidding? That's what sisters are for.

Frank Jr. (looks at the triplets): Look at them! Aw. I love you so much. (Strokes Leslie's hair, and she moves a little.) Oh crap, don't wake up, don't wake up!

讲解

掌握一种语言，不仅仅是掌握语言本身那么简单，大家对语言所属国家的文化及风土人情也应该有所了解。委婉语(euphemism)是人类语言使用过程中的一种普遍现象，是人们谈论那些令人不快或尴尬的事情时所使用的较为礼貌的说法。它是一种修辞格。更是一种文化现象。因此，了解一些委婉语的用法对我们学好英语是有很大帮助的。比如crap这个词在日常口语中还是较常用到的。“Oh crap”这里相当于“Oh，shoot!’，或“Oh，nc)!”。crap与shit同样有“大便”的意思，Shit是个不雅的词，所以人们就说she，ot，或是BS(Bull shit)来表示她们还是很有教养的。crap也可以作“无用之物，废物，糟粕”的意思使用：What's all this crap about?(这个无用之物究竟是什么东西?)又如：I’m so fed up with your BS(Bull shit)．Cut the crap．(我受够了你的废话，少说废话吧。)又如：Oh，crap!(浑蛋!)
That's a crap!(那是谎言!)

英语国家有很多场合需要委婉语(euphemism)，比如要问厕所在哪里，较高雅一点的说法就有“Where's the John?”因为。John是美国俚语，意思是“盥洗室，厕所”。也可以问：
Where's the gentlemen's rooln？
Where's the rest room?
Where's the powder room?
Where's the bathroom?
Where can I wash my hands?

如果在派对等场合被问道：Anyone wants to wash hands?大家可不能误以为是饭前洗手，那是在问“有没有人要去厕所?”而“排便”的婉转说法有：to Pay／answer／obey a call of nature(大小便的委婉语上厕所，解手)

还有，“to do No．2”所谓的“do No．2”是小孩子的说法，“小便”是“to do No．1”，“大号”就为No．2。此外还有：
relicve，case nature
rclicve oneself
do 3nc's business
drop oFle's wax等。

另外，死(death)这个词是人们最忌讳用的。无论在何种文化中，人们总是寻求一些不伤及感情的或中性的渊汇来表达它。有关“死”的委婉语有这些：
to kick the h11rket
to pay the debt to nature
to go Westto pass away
to be gone
to be at rest
to be in Heaven
to fall asleep
to breathe one’s last。

另外，西方人比较忌讳“老”。所以，最好不要叫他们“old people”，最好称他们“senior ci-tizen，the elderly，the aged，the mature people”或“the longer-lived”等。相应的，退休的人retired people常称作pensioners，残疾人crippled(disabled)man则称为special man。

另外，当别人做了什么愚蠢的事时，你可以说“Don't be stupid．”或是“Don't be silly．”但这是非常不礼貌的说法。比较客气一点的口语就是：Hey!wise up!它就相当于中文里的“放聪明点好吗?”也有人会说：Hey!grow up!意思就是“你长大一点好不好?”
