《老友记》口语笔记第1季-6集

老友记口语笔记第1季:6集 no.6 the one with the butt本集故事情节如下：joey的新音乐剧弗洛伊德（freud）上演了，大家一起去欣赏。在演出现场，chandler邂逅一位美丽而富于异国风情的女郎aurora，并开始同她约会。joey因为那次演出被leonard演艺公司相中，该公司给joey为艾尔帕西诺(al pacino)作其屁股替身的表演机会,结果joey因表演过火而痛失良机。rachel破天荒头一遭打扫了公寓，但她却移动了绿色软椅(green ottoman)，使monica感觉不爽。chandler发现aurora已婚且另有男友，心里非常矛盾，当她继续下一次猎男友行动时，chandler终于决定退出。1.chandler: you can always spot someone whos never seen one of his plays before. notice, no fear, no sense of impending doom.某种意义上来说joey很可怜，很像喜剧之王里面的尹天愁，常常对别人说他是一个actor,实际上却从来没有演过什么真正的movie,还好他从来都没有give up,这次参加了一个音乐剧freud的演出，为了给他打气，几个老友都到了演出现场加油，rach是第一次看joey演出，很是为joey兴奋，chandler则一语道破天机，说rach这样表现不过是因为她以前从没看过joey演出罢了，言下之意是说joey的表演不怎么样，他甚至还煞有介事的要rach待会儿不要害怕也不要有世界末日即将来临的感觉。而傻大姐phoebe也补充说这次joey很可能会演砸了，因为title上大大的惊叹号都吓着她了，joey饰演的居然是freud! (the exclamation point in the title scares me. (gesturing) yknow, its not just freud, its freud!) ，大概是觉得弗洛伊德这个角色太难演绎了吧，说白了还是担心joey的水准。2. monica: did anybody else feel they just wanted to peel the skin off their body, to have something else to do?看来joey的演技也的确有待提高，好不容易演出结束，monica发出了如下感叹：别人（言下之意，他们五个是好朋友，实在是没办法逃避）会觉得宁愿剥皮，也不看这个演出（而是去做别的什么事情去）。3.chandler: so explain something to me here, uh, what kind of a relationship do you imagine us having if you already have a husband and a boyfriend?chandler艳福不浅，在joey的话剧现场勾搭上一个意大利mm,满怀喜悦的去同她date,没想到对方不仅有丈夫，而且还有男朋友，这下chandler搞不懂了，于是说了上面的话。imagine sb + doing sth想象、设想某人做某事。4.rachel: look! i cleaned! i did the windows, i did the floors. i even used all the attachments on the vacuum, except that little round one with the bristles, i dont know what thats for. rachel以前是个千金小姐，没做过什么事情，这次不知道哪根神经出了毛病，竟然收拾起屋子来，老友们回来后还主动上前邀功请赏，说她擦了窗子（did the windows）、抹了地板（did the floors）。do这里相当于wipe、sweep。attachment means “a supplementary part; an accessory”,附属物、附件、附属装置。除之外，还有依恋和爱慕的意思。vaccum这里指吸尘器。5. chandler: thank god you didnt try to fan out the magazines. i mean, shell scratch your eyes right out.。没想到monica做事一向井井有条，对于rach擅作主张改变屋子里的状况很是不满，尤其发现rach还动了那个绿色软椅后更是很不高兴。chandler不失时机的又火上浇油，说还好rach没把杂志也给弄乱了，否则眼珠子都会被monica挖出来（scratch your eyes right out）。“fan out”成扇形散开，这里可以译作（扇状）摊开。6. chandler: someones left a glass on the coffee table. theres no coaster. its a cold drink, its a hot day. little beads of condensation are inching their way closer and closer to the surface of the wood.关于rach劳动的评价最后演变成了关于monica的揭短会，chandler再次发镖，说monica太过于挑剔了，他举了个例子，说在炎热的天气里，有人在coffee table上放了一杯冷饮，却没有用coaster垫着，结果眼看着凝结后的小水珠慢慢地慢慢地越来越流向桌面。这里需要理解coaster，coast是海岸的意思，coaster的含义是近海贸易货船，但它还有杯垫的含义（a disk, plate, or small mat placed under a bottle, pitcher, or drinking glass to protect a table top or other surface beneath）。condensation：凝结、浓缩。7. rachel: ooh, do i sense a little bit of resentment?chandler: no, no resentment, believe me, its worth it. kay? yknow in a relationship you have these key moments that you know youll remember for the rest of your life? well, every- single- second is like that with aurora. and ive just wasted about thirty-five of them talking to you people, so, uh. monica, can you help me with the door? (he has armloads of stuff.)“sense a little bit of resentment”这个用法比较地道，“我怎么感觉到了一点儿怨恨的味道？”，chandler马上反驳说没有，他接下来的一段话可以转换形式记下来，“in a relationship,we have some key moments that well remember for the rest of our lives.”在恋爱的时候，我们会有一些（关键的）甜蜜时刻永远记得。8. director: i think his butt would like to get this shot before lunch. once again, rolling. water working. and action.and cut. what was that? shot子弹、炮弹、开枪、射击，这里则是机会的意思。可怜的joey,虽然只是出演butt，对于他来说居然也是个shot,希望他别blow it.我觉得get this shot,应该解释成拍完洗澡这一段镜头即导演的意思是说在午饭前完成butt double这段。shot确切地说有在电视上露头的意思。9. chandler: i know therell be many moments in the years to come when ill regret asking the following question, but- and andrew is?同7一样，作为一种表达方式记下来。regret doing sth,后悔做某事。chandler在以后的日子里很可能会有很多次（many moments）后悔问了这样的问题。10. chandler: .well, yknow, part of me wants that, but its like im two guys, yknow? i mean, one guys going shut up! this is great! but theres this other guy. actually its the same guy that wells up every time that grinchs heart grows three sizes and breaks that measuring device. and hes saying, yknow, this is too hard! get out! get out!人都有欲望和理智，我喜欢chandler和其他老友，不是因为他们只有理智没有情感，而是因为他们有着原始的本能，但却能够控制邪念，chandler本来以为自己能够接受和aurora的不正当关系，但是终归还是说服了自己。这里他就很直白的说出了心声，内心中两个人不断拌嘴和斗争。well up涌出、涌现、涌起。grinch好像是圣诞节故事中的一个童话人物。11.rachel: really? just casually strewn about in that reckless haphazard manner?记住几个形容词, casually偶然地、随便地、临时的；reckless不计后果地；haphazard偶然地、随便地。monica忘记把鞋子拿进屋子了，却硬着头皮说无所谓，于是rachel说了上面的话。strewn about中，strewn是strew的过去式，about相当于around。1.that would work the word work acts as an int
