So you can use this expression to introduce contextual information about something: To put it in context, at that time the most powerful personal computers were only able to do simple math equations.

The word arises from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded. It included people with an IQ of 26–50, between "idiot" (IQ of 0–25) and "moron" (IQ of 51–70).

It was interesting that our aunt never raised one obvious possibility: that one of us should wed Cezar. Not that any of us would want to. My sisters disliked him and I—I was not sure I wanted to marry anyone at all. Not without love. And whatever I felt toward my cousin, it was not the kind of passion I had heard about in tales 故事里, 书里听到的, the feeling that swept you off your feet 魂不守舍, 奋不顾身 and into a different world. It was foolish to expect that, of course. In choosing a husband, practical considerations 现实的考量, 现实的考虑 almost always came before the inclinations of the heart 心的期许, 心里的向往. This was something Aunt Bogdana had explained many times before. A certain expression had entered my aunt's blue eyes, one I knew from experience meant she was planning something. "I'll have a word with Nicolae on the party question," she said. "It's not yet too late in the season, if we move quickly. It is a long time since Vârful cu Negur˘a has seen a night of celebration."

The word crisp may be applied to other referents, including non-prepared foods such as lettuce and other objects such as paper, with essentially the same meaning. ). That will make it clear why food items have been singled out as almost exclusively "crispy." But "fresh, crisp lettuce" is better-- the lettuce simply has that texture, and is not "crispy" from being baked or fried. Other than food, I agree that "crisp" is preferred, and very often "crispy" would sound wrong.

Bill: "So, I hear you had a wild night out. How you feeling this morning?" Ted: "A little rough around the edges, but not as bad as I thought I'd be.")" (in other words, hung over, possibly from drinking-- his brain has been "fried" a little).

A potato chip is crisp, not crunchy. You'll get one 'crunch' sound when you bite down and then all the crisp is gone. We say fresh lettuce is crisp - we never say lettuce is crunchy. Crispy foods are thin, fragile, and readily shatter into small flakes when chewed or handled, such as potato chips. They break apart under the slightest pressure or pulling force, and may quickly dissolve in saliva. Crunchy foods are ones that shatter when chewed with such force as to cause them to do so. They break into fragments that are visually similar to small stones as opposed to flakes. They are called "crunchy" because of the noise made when chewing them; the breaking is clearly audible, and the jaw action usually quite visible. Hard pretzel bits are an example, so are some dried nut meats. These foods don't immediately dissolve in saliva, unless retained in the mouth and chewed long enough to form a paste. crisp or crispy 脆脆的 toast. crisp or crispy cracker.

Chandler: (smiling cheekily) I do! Want a hint? huh? "I do" (Monica looks confused, so Chandler repeats) "I do". Monica: Ok, I'm sensing that this is some kind of word play, because you are pink with barely controlled glee 脸红脖子粗的. Chandler: David is going to propose to Phoebe. Monica: What? (looks very shocked) Why? Chandler: Be-cause, we were talking about ways that he could beat Mike and I told him that Phoebe wanted to get married. Monica: Chandler, we have talked about this. You are not supposed to give people advice! Now couldn't you just have made some sort of inappropriate joke? Chandler: I did! A penis one! Look, just so I know, what was so wrong about what I said? Monica: They've only been going out for a few weeks and Phoebe is completely hung up on Mike! She'll say "No", David's heart will be broken, it will be too hard for them to recover from and then Phoebe will end up alone again. Chandler: Man, that's some bad advice! 5. (Joey spots them and walks towards them) Joey: Oh! Hey! Thank God you guys are here! Rachel: Hey! Hey what's going on? Joey: Everything is upside down 反过来了 here!

Monica: (shouts to Chandler) And make sure our room isn't next to theirs (points to Phoebe). Rachel: Ooh! You guys are so lucky you are here with people, you known it's such a romantic place. That's all, I just wish I could (looks at Joey who is at the check in desk) share that with a guy. Phoebe: Not Joey. Rachel: Not Joey, no, I was just lusting after Chandler. Monica: Yeah, right! David: So, ehm... I'm proposing to Pheobe tonight. (Removes a ring box from his pocket and opens it to show Chandler the ring) Chandler: Tonight?! (looks at the ring) Isn't an engagement ring supposed to have a diamond? (squints at the ring to emphasize how tiny the diamond is) Oh, there it is! David: Yeah, well, being a failed scientist doesn't pay quite as well as you might think. That's uhm... one seventieth of a karat. And the clarity is uhm... is quite poor. Chandler: (slaps him on the shoulder) Nice! (goes to Monica) Chandler: Monica, can I talk to you for a sec? (Pulls her away from Phoebe and Rachel) Monica: Ok! Chandler: David is going to propose to Phoebe tonight! Monica: See what happens when you give people advice? I hope you told him not to? Chandler: That would be advice!! Monica: Ok fine. I'll handle this. (goes to Phoebe who's talking to Rachel) Phoebe? Phoebe: Yeah? Monica: (looking very serious) I need to talk to you. Phoebe: Are you leaving "The Supremes"? (Monica and Phoebe go to one side) Monica: Ok, my husband just gave your boyfriend some very bad advice. Look, David is going to propose to you tonight. Phoebe: Wow? Really? That's fantastic! Monica: What, are you serious? You wanna marry him? Wha... What about Mike? Phoebe: Oh, ok, you want me to marry Mike? Alright, well, let's just gag him and handcuff him and force him down the aisle. I can just see it: "Mike, do you take Phoebe..." (gestures with her hand as if someone is covering her mouth and tries to shout "No! No!") You know, it's every girl's dream! Monica: Do you really think marrying someone else is the right answer? Phoebe: Sure! Look, ok, bottom line: I love Mike... David! David. I love David. Don't look at me that way, Roseanne Rosannadanna! 6. Ross: By using CT scans and computer imaging we can in a very real way, bring the Mesozoic era into the 21st century. Charlie: It's great. You're gonna be the hit of the conference. Ross: Oh and you know what, it will be even better tomorrow, because I won't be constantly interrupted by Joey checking to see if they put chocolates on my pillow yet. (Someone knocks on the door, Ross goes to open and it's Joey, Rachel and Chandler). Joey: Hey guys! Ross: The chocolates aren't here yet. Joey: Damnit! Charlie: Ross just read me his speech. It's fantastic! Chandler: Oh, is it on the computer, cuz I'd love to give it a read...? Ross: If you want to check your email, just ask! (Chandler tries to look offended) Chandler: (offended) What? (pause) May I? Rachel: (looking out the window) What's with the rain, Geller? I mean, when I signed up for Dino Week, nobody said anything about it being monsoon season. Charlie: Actually the wet season is June to December. Rachel: It's not the time Charlie. Chandler: (at the laptop) Oh, no, no, no dear God, no! Joey: Oh what, did someone outbid you for the teapot? (Chandler looks annoyed at him and Joey leans in to him) Oh! Secret teapot? Chandler: Your computer, I don't know wha... everything's gone! Ross: Wha... what do you mean? (Goes to the laptop) Chandler: It must be a virus. I think it erased your hard drive. Ross: What, oh my God. What did you do? Chandler: Someone I don't know sent me an e-mail and I opened it. Ross: Why, why would you open it? Chandler: Well, it didn't say "This is a virus"!! Ross: What did it say? Chandler: Nude... (Ross looks at him)... pictures of Anna Kournikova. I'm so sorry. Ross: What... what am I gonna do? My speech is gone, Chandler! Chandler: It's not gone! I mean, I'm sure you printed out a copy. You have a hard copy, right? Ross: NO! I don't!! Chandler: Well, you must be pretty mad at yourself right now...! [Time lapse: Ross looks likes he's been trying to fix his computer but just closes it as if giving up] Joey: It's really gone? Ross: Yep! I'd like to thank you guys for coming down here to complain about the rain and ruin my career! Chandler: I just feel awful. Ross: Yeah, well you should! I mean, nude pictures of Anna Kournikova? I mean, she's never even won a major tournament! Chandler: Well, I tried Billy Jean King, but... (Ross glares at him) you know, you and Monica have the same "I'm gonna kill you" look...? I can usually make it go away by kissing her... (Ross continues to glare at him and Chandler leans in as if he's going to kiss Ross) Ross: Get out! (Chandler runs out) Rachel: You know, this happens all the time to my computer at work. Ross: Well, what do you do? Rachel: Well, I usually go... play Tetris on somebody else's computer. Ross: I can't believe this. I can't believe this is happening. I have to give the keynote speech tomorrow! Ok? I have to stand up in front of all these people. What am I gonna say? Joey: I could teach you a speech that I memorized for auditions. Ross: I don't think that your monologue from Star Wars is gonna help me right now, Joe! Charlie: Ross, we can solve this. I just heard your speech. We can recreate it! We've got all night! Ross: Wha... what, you really think we can do that? Charlie: Oh wait, Joey and I are supposed to have dinner (Looks at Joey). Joey: Hey don't worry about that! I mean, Ross needs you! And Rachel and I will stay and help anyway we can. Rachel: Ugh. Ross: Alright, ok, let's do it. (Ross sits down at the desk and they all gather around him) Uhm, I know we start by discussing the shortcomings of carbon dating... uhm, and then, then I move on to what is clearly the defining moment of the Mesozoic era, the breakup of Pangea, hello! (Rachel and Joey look confused) And then, there's the... eh... there's the overview of the Triassic. Joey: Oh, oh! Any chance any of this happened in a "Galaxy far, far away"? (Ross turns aroud and glares at him. Joey and Rachel decide to leave). 6. Mike: Hello? Monica: Ok, Mike, enough is enough, now you love Phoebe and she loves you, so you need to get over your whole "I never want to get married" thing and step up! Mike: Who is this? Monica: This is Monica! I'm Phoebe's friend. Listen, Phoebe is back with David and he's going to propose to her, and she is going to say "yes" but I know she really wants to be with you! Mike: (sounds shocked and sits down) He... he's gonna propose? Monica: I... I'm sorry, did you say something? I can't hear through all this damned hair! (Tries to move her huge hair away from the phone, in vain) Mike: Look, if Phoebe wants to marry David, she should, I'm not gonna stand in the way of that and neither should you. Monica: You don't tell me what to do! I tell you what to do! Just call her. She's at the Paradise Hotel in Barbados. And while I've got you, you've got curly hair. What do you do in humidity? (Mike hangs up the phone) Damnit! (Chandler walks in) Monica: (sarcastically) Well, I hope you're happy! Chandler: (pretending not to sense the tone 听出话外之音) Oooh! I hope you're happy too, honey! Monica: Phoebe is going to say "Yes" to David. See, that's what happens when you meddle in people's lives! Chandler: Phoebe is going to say "yes"? That's, that's great! Monica: No it's not, b'cause she's still in love with Mike! Chandler: And there's not chance that will work? Monica: No, I called him. It's not gonna happen. Chandler: (pointing at her) Oooooooh! Meddler! Meddler! Monica: Well, if you hadn't meddled to start with, I wouldn't have had to go in there and meddle myself. Now, no matter how much we meddle, we will never be able to un-meddle the thing that you meddled up - in the first place! Chandler: This vacation sucks!! 8. Joey: I'm so bored! Stupid rain, we... we can't do anything. Rachel: Well, I've brought some books. We could read. Joey: Hey, it hasn't come to that yet 还不至于, 还没到那么糟糕. (A waiter walks by carrying appetizers or something on a tray) Joey: (stopping the waiter) Hey hey hey! Don't mind if I do! Waiter: I'm sorry sir, these are for the pharmaceutical convention (walks away) Joey: Hey Rach, do you feel like going to a convention? Rachel: We can't. We're not pharmacists! Joey: (walking to a table with many badges on it) I know we're not, but (he picks up a badge) Frank Medeio and... (picks up another badge) Eva Trorro... womba... Rachel: (picking up another random badge) Kate Miller? Joey: Kate Miller it is. (he picks up the Kate Miller badge and sticks it on 沾到, 贴到 Rachel's breast) Rachel: And... that's the most sex I'm gonna have this weekend. Joey: In that case should I make sure it's on real good? (he does so, repeatedly tapping on her breast and stroking it) Rachel: Thank you. (they walk away) 9. Charlie: And then, and then you said that thing about, about bringing the Mesozoic era in the 21st century. Ross: Yeah, that's it? Charlie: Yeah. Ross: Oh my God, we did it! (he sits beside her and skims through her notes excitedly) Charlie: Actually I did it Ross. You remembered shockingly little of your own speech. Ross: Yes, but I did make a pyramid out of the bath products. This is amazing, thank you, thank you so much. (he leans in, and they look at each other for a moment) That's a pretty necklace. Charlie: Thank you. Ross: Hey, what do you say we celebrate? Champagne? (he goes to get the champagne). Charlie: Oh yeah! Hey, save the cork and then we can fill the bottle with water and put it back so they don't charge you. Ross: Oh my God, I love you. Charlie: Oh, this is such a cute picture of Emma. And is this your son... or just some kid whose picture you bring on vacation? Ross: That's Ben, my son from my first marriage. Charlie: Your first marriage? Ross: Yeah. Charlie: You're married more than once? Ross: No. (they clink glasses and drink) Charlie: So, why did you break up? Ross: (embarassed) Oh, it was... it's complicated, you know? She... she was... eh... gay. Charlie: Oh my God, this is so cool! Ross: Ok, odd thing to get excited about! Charlie: No, it's just... I was enganged to a guy who turned out to be gay! Ross: Hey! High-five! (they high-five) Charlie: Didn't you feel so stupid that you didn't see the signs? My fiancé was always going away on these long weekends with his tennis partner. Ross: My wife had a workout friend she went to the gym with everyday for a year. She didn't get any fitter. Charlie: Right and then everybody finds out and they're like: "Oh, I knew all along 一直都知道" Ross: I know! It's like, if you knew, why didn't you tell me, you know? I mean, call, or leave a note: "Hi, I just dropped by to say your wife's gay" Charlie: I know! Ross: And then, you try to make the best of a bad situation, so you float the idea of a threesome? Charlie: I didn't do that. Ross: (embarassed) Me neither. 9. Joey: Well, who knew? Pharmacists are fun. Rachel: I know, that old lady at the end was ready to take you home. Joey: Not enough pills in the world, Rach. What about you, you're the single one, seen anybody in there you like? Rachel: Well, let's see. There was a really big guy that I was talking to, with the really nice breasts... Joey: But what about back home, anything going on there? Anybody you like? Rachel: (takes a sip from her drink, embarassed) No. Joey: There it is, you're blushing! Rachel: No, I'm not blushing, I'm sunburnt! From, you know, the rain. Joey: You like someone. Tell me who it is. Who is it? (tickles her a little) Rachel: No. Joey: Tell me who it is. Rachel: Joey! (she walks away; Joey goes after her teasing and tickling her) Joey: Come on who? Who do you like? Tell me. You're not getting away that easy. Who do you like, who? Rachel: Joey, come on! It doesn't matter, you know, it's not like anything's gonna happen. Joey: What? Why not? Rach, who can you not get? Rachel: Oh! (pause) Ok. Ok, you really wanna know who it is? Joey: (eagerly) Yeah, who is that? Rachel: Do ya? Joey: Yeah. (Ross and Charlie walk into the hall from Ross's room) Ross and Charlie: Hey! (Joey smiles at them. Rachel looks annoyed) Charlie: (to Joey) I just left you a message! Ross and I were gonna go grab a bite, but now that you're here, maybe we can go have that dinner. Joey: Right, of course. Hey, did you guys finish the speech? Ross: Yep, we got it, we got it. (To Charlie) Thank you so much. Charlie: I had a great time. Joey: Alright, hey look, and this isn't over, because I really wanna know who... Rachel: Later! La... Charlie: So, shall we? Joey: Yeah. (they leave) Rachel: Ok. See you, bye. Charlie: Bye. Ross: Good night. Joey: Night. (Ross and Rachel watch them walk away and sigh. They look at each other, embarassed.) Ross and Rachel: Ok, good night! 10. (Phoebe and David walk in) Monica: I can't believe she's gonna say yes to David. She's clearly in love with Mike. Chandler: You know, it's very hard to take you seriously when you look like that. (David and Phoebe sit down at a table close to Chandler and Monica's) David: Uh, Phoebe, uh, I have... something I wanna say. Monica: Oh my God, he's gonna do it now. Please, I cannot watch this, let's go. Chandler: I think we have some time. Have you ever heard him talk? (doing David) "Uh, Phoebe, uh, I would be honoured, uh..." Spit it out, David! David: Uh, Phoebe, uh... (Chandler hits his own head) you're an amazing woman, and the time we spent apart 不在一起, 分开的这段时间 was, was unbearable. Of course the sanitation strikes in Minsk didn't help! Phoebe: Sure, ok, yeah. David: But well, now that we're together again, I don't ever want to be apart. So, to that end 为了那个目的... (David produces the ring. At the same time, Mike walks in, behind David) Phoebe: Oh my God, Mike! David: It's David, actually! Phoebe: No, Mike's here. David: (turns around) Hi Mike! Mike: Hi David. Chandler. Monica... (Looks at Monica, checking her big hair, aghast) Oh! Monica: IT'S THE HUMIDITY! Mike: Hi Phoebe. Phoebe: What are you, what are you doing here? Mike: I have a question I need to ask you. David: I have a question I was kinda gonna ask her myself. Mike: Yeah, I understand, but before you do, she really needs to hear this. David: (annoyed) Ok, would you care for my seat as well? Mike: Actually yeah, that'll be great. David: That's fair, you've had a long trip. (he leaves his seat to Mike, and stands there looking for a chair. He finally goes to Monica and Chandler's table) Mike: Phoebe, I love you. I mean, I missed you so much these last few months and I thought we were apart for a good reason, but then I suddenly realized that there was no reason good enough to keep me from spending the rest of my life with you. David: Kinda stepped on the toes of 抢先一步 what I was going to say. Mike: Sorry David, but she really has to know this. David: Alright, but after this I want to see you outside. If the rain stops. Monica: You're the most incredible woman I've ever met. How can I lose you? (Phoebe looks very flattered) Now, I don't actually have a ring... David: I have a ring. Chandler: I wouldn't brag too much about that thing, big guy. David: Phoebe, will you marry me? Phoebe: (smiles at him happily for a few seconds before answering) No! David: Uhm... Ha ha! Phoebe: I love you. But I never needed a proposal from you. I just needed to know that we were headed somewhere, you know, that we had a future. Mike: We can have any future you want. (they hold their hands, gazing at each other) David: Ok, I'm gonna take off. Phoebe: David, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry. David: Just so I know, if I had asked first... Phoebe: Yeah, I might have said yes, but that would have been wrong. David: Please, you don't have to explain. I mean, perhaps if I hadn't gone to Minsk things would have worked out for us. And I wouldn't have ruined my career, or lost that toe to frostbite. It was a good trip! (he leaves) Mike: Is it ok if I hug you now? Phoebe: Yes! (they hug) Monica: (to everybody) BECAUSE OF OUR MEDDLING! Alright? 14. Chandler: Oh, ain't this nice? It's so quiet, I could just lie here all day. Monica: I know (she snuggles to him) (Rachel runs in) Rachel: (walking in hurriedly) Open your drapes! Open your drapes! Chandler: I'm so glad we've got adjoining rooms! (Rachel opens the drapes) Monica: The sun is out! Chandler: Hey! Remember when I had corneas? Monica: Ok listen, you go down to the pool and reserve the chairs, and I'll get the magazines and the lotion. Chandler: Ladies? Ross's speech is in 45 minutes. Rachel: Nooo! Monica: Damn it! Ross: (from across the wall) Walls are pretty thin, guys! 15. Ross: Then we have to await the data from recent MRI scans and DNA testing which call into question information gathered from years of simple carbon dating. Rachel: Look at that woman sitting by the pool getting tan... so leathery and wrinkled, I'm so jealous! Ross: Finally, factoring the profusion of new species recently discovered: Gigantosaurus, Argentinasaurus... Chandler: (to a paleontologist sitting next to him) Not to mention the cold sores. (the paleontologist glares at Chandler) Ross: And that's just the herbivores. I'm not even gonna discuss the carnivores, their heads are already too big. Which is ironic considering their stunted cerebral development. (all the paleontologists laugh) Chandler: (to the one sitting next to him) Really? Ross: But all kidding aside, in much the same way that Homo ergaster is now thought to be a separate species from Homo erectus... (Joey laughs) Charlie: What? Joey: He said "erectus"! Charlie: You're... you're kidding, right? Joey: No, he really said it. Ross: ... and while there are certainly vast differences between these Mesozoic fossiles and the example of Homo erectus... (Rachel laughs) Joey: Erectus? Rachel: Homo. Ross: (concluding his speech)... in a very real way we can bring the Mesozoic era into the 21st century. (pauses) Thank you! (Everybody stands up and applauds. Ross looks flattered and surprised. His friends and other members of the audience go to congratulate him) Ross: Oh, thanks guys! Man with a bow tie: (shaking hands with Ross) I thought... it was wonderful! Ross: Oh! Man with a bow tie: Jarvis Oberblau, Cornell. (sighs) I mean, the ideas you put forth and, and from someone... so... young... and... (sighs again and smiles at Ross blissfully). Ross: (with a frozen smile on his face, realizing something's wrong with Jarvis) Ok... now... now we're just holding hands! (pulls his hand away) Rachel: All right! Well, uh... (to Monica) we're gonna hit the beach? Monica: Yeah! Rachel: (to Ross, in a flattering tone) It was really... great! Ross: Oh, thank you so much! Joey: Yeah, and so funny! Rachel: Oh! (Rachel, Joey and Chandler pat him on his shoulders and walk off, together with Monica) Ross: (puzzled) Ok!... All right, thanks! Thank you so much, you guys! (to Phoebe) Oh, I can't tell you how much it means to me that you were here! Mike: (popping by, smiling) You're kidding, we wouldn't have missed it! (Ross is dumbfounded to see Mike instead of David) Mike: Oh... I'm back! Ross: (skating over, embarrassed) Ok!... Uh... excuse me? Yeah? Phoebe & Mike: Yeah! (they leave) (Ross goes towards Charlie, who's conversing with a fellow paleontologist, and touches her shoulder to get her attention) Ross: Hey! (she turns to him) Well...? (in expectation) Charlie: You were incredible! Ross: Yeah? Charlie: You blew them away! Ross: Oh, I can't tell you how great it was to look at the crowd and see your face! I mean... uh, did you know you were (giggles) mouthing the words along with me? Charlie: (smiling broadly) I was not! Ross: No, it's ok! Made me feel like a rock star! Charlie: Oh my God! (pauses) I'm your groupie! Ross: (joking) I'd better not found you naked in my hotel room! (Ross giggles, but Charlie isn't amused at all.) Ross: (realizing his joke wasn't so good, but still giggling) Look, I took it too far! 15. Monica: (her hair bigger then before) I can't believe it's raining again! Oh, it's so unfair!!! (They approach the buffet, where a couple of paleontologists are sipping their drinks) Phoebe: Well, on the bright side 好的一方面, 好处是, now you won't have to see all these paleontologists with their shirts off. (Grabs a drink and notices that the two men are upset) Not you guys. You got it going on! (Monica, Phoebe, Chandler and Mike walk away, sipping their drinks) Monica: So, what are we gonna do today? Mike: They have a game room downstairs! Ping pong and stuff. Monica: (pleasantly surprised) Ping pong? (to Chandler) Honey, they have ping pong! Let's play! Chandler: I don't think so! Monica: (disappointed) Why not? Chandler: Because you know how competitive you get and well, I say it's cute, others disagree, and I'm lying! Monica: I'm not always that bad! Chandler: Oh, yeah? What happened when we played last time? Monica: (hesitatingly) I punched you...? Chandler: And...? Monica: ... Phoebe...? Phoebe: ... and...? Monica: I clunked your heads together! (Chandler turns to Mike and gives him a "See what I mean?" look) 15. (Joey is sitting in an armchair and wearing a diving mask. He pulls out a grape from a bunch of fake grapes on the coffee table, puts it on the snorkel's breathing tube and blows it out, then giggles to himself) Charlie: (walking in) Hey! There you are! Joey: Hey! (stands up) As soon as it stops raining we have got to go snorkeling! Some kid told me about the sea turtle and, if you blow bubbles in its face, it chases ya! (smiles ecstatic) Charlie: I'm sorry, I can't! I'm running a discussion group all afternoon. Joey: (disappointed) Oh... oh, but that's ok, I'll find someone else to do it... I'll do it alone, but... I don't know what happens if the sea turtle catches you... Charlie: You know... I feel so bad! I haven't seen you this whole trip and (pauses) especially last night... Joey: (interrupting her) Hey! Don't worry about it! It was fine! I ended up having the best time with Rachel! I just felt bad for you, stuck in that room, working on Ross's speech... (pulls a face) Charlie: Actually, it turned out to be a lot of fun! Joey: (bewildered) Oh! Oh, well! At least we're both having fun! Charlie: Yeah... (There's an awkward moment of silence) Charlie: ... is it weird that it's not with each other? Joey: Yeah! A little bit, yeah... Charlie: (sitting down on the bed) I think we need to talk...! (pause) Joey: Yeah... I think we do... (sighs, with folded arms)... about what? 16. Monica: C'mon guys, it'll be fun! Phoebe: All right, all right... I'll play if we don't keep score积分! Monica: But then how do we know who wins? Phoebe: Nobody wins! Monica: So, we're just four losers... SUPER! Chandler: I'm not playing with you. Phoebe: Yeah, I'm out. Mike: I'll play ya! Monica: (smiling) OK! Phoebe: Mike, you don't know, you don't know what you're doing! Chandler: She gets crazy! This scar (points to his forehead) is from Pictionary! (Monica rolls her eyes) Mike: (disbelieving) I think I will be all right! (to Monica) You wanna volley a bit for a serve? Monica: Sure! Got to! (Monica and Mike start to play ping pong. Mike scores) Monica: Aww! Mike: Oh, by the way... I'm awesome!! Chandler: (nearly whispering) Oh dear God, there's two of them! Mike: You're ready to play? Monica: Hell, yeah! Chandler: (to Phoebe) Did you know this about him? Phoebe: No idea! I though he was soft like you! Mike: Wanna make it more interesting? Monica: How much were you thinking? Mike: Ten bucks a game? Monica: Make it fifty! Mike: I'll make it a hundred! Monica: (nearly shouting) One thousand... Chandler: (interrupting her) OK! Mike: To see who goes first, you got a quarter? Monica: (going through her pockets) No... (to Chandler and Phoebe) Either of you girls got a quarter? Chandler: Honey, try to focus the trash talk on him! Phoebe: (picks up a coin from her bra) Monica, you call it. Monica: Heads! No, Tails! He-he-heads! Phoebe: Tails! Monica: (angry) Ow, what are the chances! (They start playing again) Monica: Ha! My point! Mike: Oh, no! I don't think so! You know, according to standard table tennis rules if at any time a player uses his non racket bearing hand to touch the playing surface he or she forfeits the point. Phoebe: (smiling proudly) He was a lawyer! 16. Alexandra Steele: (meteorologist) (pointing to the East Coast)... all these coasts having beautiful weather. In New York, it's 72 and sunny! Rachel: Oh! Weather bitch! (turns the TV off) (Someone knocks on the door) Rachel: It's open! (Joey walks in) Hi, Joe! Joey: (downhearted) Hey... Rachel: (worried) What, is everything ok? Joey: Uh... Charlie and I broke up. Rachel: Nooooo, why? Joey: Oh well, she said we have nothing in common. Rachel: (laughing) Oh, that's crazy! Joey: No, it's not, we have nothing in common! Rachel: ... yeah, it's true. Joey: I mean, she should be with someone like... Ross! You know what I mean, he uses all those big words too! Man, smart people are dull! Rachel: (pretending to be offended) What, hey! Joey: (laughing sarcastically) Ok, Rach! (He punches her on her shoulder mockingly, then goes and sits down on her bed) Joey: I feel so stupid, you know? Why... why do I keep going after the wrong girls? Rachel: What are you, what are you talking about? Joey: Oh, c'mon, I mean, there's you, then there's Charlie, and it's like... (sighs) What the hell is my problem? OH! (He falls back on the bed) Rachel: Ok... uh... maybe you're not always going after the wrong girl... Joey: (sitting up again) I'm telling you, Rach, Charlie is not right for me! Rachel: Yeah, I'm not talking about her... Joey: But then who? The waitress I went out with last month? (gives her a meaningful look) Rachel: You know? Forget it! Joey: (stands up) No-no-no-no, no! Who, who were you talking about? Rachel: No, I-I-I-I don't, I actually don't know who I'm talking about! So! Joey: Ok! All right, well... I'm gonna see if I can get a room for the night and I'll... I'll see you later! Rachel: Yeah, sure! (Joey walks out, while Rachel is pensive. Once he's out of her room, he suddenly realizes who she was talking about and goes back in. He looks at her in disbelief and she looks like she was caught red-handed) 17. Joey: You like me? (shuts the door) Rachel: (nearly whispering) Ok, let's not make a big thing about this! Joey: (shocked) That's a huge thing! Rachel: Not working with me, Joe! Here's the thing: lately I have been having thoughts (pauses) musings, if you will! Joey: What... for how long? Rachel: Only like a month! Joey: (outraged) A MONTH?? Rachel: What the... DIAL IT DOWN! (Joey goes to sit on the bed) Listen, ok, and maybe they're crazy thoughts 想法, but sometimes I do, I have, I've been thinking about... you know, us! (looks at Joey, who's totally distraught) Ok, dial it up a little! Joey: (stands up) I just have one question! Rachel: Shoot! Joey: (desperate) What the hell are you doin'??? Rachel: I don't know, I'm not trying to do anything, it's just, we have such a good time when we're together, you know... I mean, aren't you just a... little curious... (insinuating) what that would be like?... Joey: Uh, am I curious? I mean, I am as curious as... as... George!! Rachel: (puzzled) Who...? Joey: CURIOUS GEORGE (see link)! You know, the monkey, and the guy with the yellow hat! Rachel: Oh yes, of course, I remember him! Joey: Yeah, he had a paper route. Rachel: Yeah, he did! (smiling) Oh, see, this is what I'm talking about! Joey: No, I know, yeah I know we're great but Rach no... this... this can't happen! Rachel: But can it... just... happen a little bit? Joey: (charmed, but then recoiling) NO, NO! It can't happen at all! Rachel: But why, why not? Joey: Because... look, no one wants this to happen more than me, ok? (in a trembling voice) I have gone over this moment in my head a hundred times and not once did I ever say no! (sighs) I couldn't do it to Ross! Rachel: But that wasn't gonna stop you before! Joey: I know, I know! But I've thought about it a lot since, and it just wouldn't be right... (painfully) I'm sorry...! Rachel: (regretful) I'm sorry, too! (they look at each other sadly, then she recollects, and puts her hands over her eyes) OH GOD! I shouldn't have said anything! Joey: NO! No-no-no-no-no-no! Hey! Hey, we'll be fine! Li... hey, like you said: no big deal! Rachel: It's not a big deal! Joey: NO BIG DEAL! Rachel: It's so not a big deal! Joey: Yeah! I'll see ya later! Yeah! Rachel: Ok! (They shake hands, he walks out and shuts the door, then seems to change his mind, moves to open the door, than changes his mind again and leans over the door. Just then, Rachel opens the door) Rachel: Ok, I... (Joey falls backwards into the room) Rachel: AAAHHHH! (Joey hurriedly stands up, arms akimbo, gives her an embarrassed look and walks away) 19. Monica: Ooh! I'm sorry! I think, I THINK, that may have missed the table! Mike: Do you? Monica: Ah, yeah! Mike: Do you? Monica: Ah, yeaaah! Mike: DO YOU? Monica: AH YEAAAAH! Chandler: (to Phoebe) Do you really find this attractive on him? Phoebe: (looking at Mike) Oh, yeah! (turning to Chandler) Are you telling me you... you're not even... a little turned on by Monica, right now? (Chandler turns to look at Monica, who has the biggest hair ever, is flushed and in a sweat, and is decidedly sniffing her armpits) Chandler: I think this is the first time in our marriage that I've felt like the more attractive one. Phoebe: C'mon Mike, you can beat her! Knock that dog off her head! (Mike scores) Monica: Oh, damn it! Phoebe: (pointing at Mike and shouting) I sleep with him! Mike: (boasting) Game, point! Monica: (threatening) Don't get too cocky! Remember I won the last one! Oh, by the way, how did that feel, losing to a girl? Mike: You know, you should really look in a mirror before you call yourself that. (they continue to play ping pong and then Mike scores, winning the game) Monica: NO, NO, NOOO! Mike: And that's how it's done! (Phoebe kisses him) Chandler: Okay-dokay, you've each won a game and I've lost what's felt like a year of my life. So everybody goes home a winner. Monica: Best out of three? Mike: That's what I'm thinking. Chandler: Should I use my invisibility to fight crime or for evil? Monica: (to Mike) Serve the ball, chump! Mike: (doing Monica and mumbling): Serve the ball, chump. Phoebe: (to Mike) Ok Mike, better come back Mike, better come back. 19. Mr. Oberblau: I'm just saying, I have a cabin in the Adirondacks if you ever want to get away from the city, well, that'd be (pause) just nifty! Ross: Ooh, well. Ah, I kinda have got a lot on my plate right now, not that I wouldn't love a weekend in the country with a strange man. (Mr. Oberblau giggles) Woman: Jarvis? Mr. Oberblau: (seeing her) Oh, you're back... (to Ross) this is my wife, Nancy. Ross: Get Out! (Charlie walks by) Charlie: Ross, can I talk to you for a minute? Ross: Yes, please! (they move and sit down on a sofa) So, what's going on? Charlie: Uh, well... Joey and I broke up. Ross: Oh my God, what happened? Charlie: Joey is a great guy, but we're just... so different! I mean, during your speech he kept laughing at homo erectus! Ross: I knew that was him! Charlie: Anyway I just, uh, I think it's for the best. Ross: (holding her hand) Hey, you ok? Charlie: I guess. There was hum... (she breathes deeply) there was another reason that I thought it was time to end it with Joey. I started to realize that I was having feelings for someone (pause) else. (some paleontologists interrupt them) Paleontologist: (merrily) Ok Geller. Last day of the conference, you know what happens to the keynote speaker. Ross: Oh, professor Clerk we're kind of in the middle of a conversation, here. Charlie: Yeah, can you guys just throw him in the pool later? Professore Clerk: Or we could throw you both in now! Ross: (standing) Ok, gentlemen! Please! Aren't we a little old for this? I mean, we're scientists, right? We're academics. And most importantly I... you will have to catch us first. (he starts to run away with Charlie). GO, GO, GO! (the paleontologists starts chasing them) 20. (Chandler and Phoebe look bored to death. Monica scores and laughs) Mike: Ok, so it's a tie again, 41 to 41. Chandler: (exhausted) Ok, look! Enough is enough! Monica: No, I have just to have two more points to beat him! Chandler: Monica, that was also true an hour ago! I mean, please, look at you! Your hand is blistered, you can barely stand, your hair is inexplicable! Ok, you've already proven you are just as good as he is, now we've missed our dinner reservations, so now let's just go upstairs, order room service, take a shower and shave your head! Monica: I can't just walk away! I've put in four hours! Chandler: But... Monica: Look! You knew this about me when you married me! You agreed to take me in sickness and in health. Well, this is my sickness! Chandler: What about the obsessive cleaning? Monica: That's just good sense! (they start playing again; suddenly Monica hits the table with her hand) Monica: (in pain) Aww! (she holds her hand, moaning like she's biting back a scream) Chandler: You ok? Monica: No, no, no. Honey, I'm ok. Shake it off! (she shakes the wrist and it's more painful) Oh, no! No shaking, no shaking! Ooh! Ooh! (pause) Oh my God! I can't play! Mike: So you forfeit? Phoebe: Mike wins? Monica: I can't believe it! (pause) I lost! Chandler: No, you didn't. Monica: What? Chandler: Because I'm gonna play for ya. Phoebe: You can't do that! Mike: Oh, that's ok. I don't care which of them I beat. Phoebe: Ok, we're taking that paddle home, mister. Monica: (to Chandler) Honey, you don't have to do this. Chandler: (In a loving voice) Yes, I do. Now, I may not understand why you have to win so badly, but if it's important to you then it's important to me, because I love you. Monica: But... you suck! Chandler: (Still in a loving voice) You're welcome, sweetheart. (Chandler prepares to play) Chandler: All right Mike, let's get this over with. Sudden death. Whoever wins this point, wins. Mike: Ok! (They start playing and Chandler does not suck at all) Monica: Oh my God! You're good! Phoebe: It's like watching porn! (Chandler scores and wins the match) Chandler: And that's... how... it's done! Monica: (to Chandler) Oh my God. That was so amazing! When did you (pause) Hold on! I almost forgot (she turns to Mike) loser! (back to Chandler) When did you stop sucking? Chandler: I never sucked, I actually didn't want you to know how good I was! Monica: Why? Chandler: I don't know. Monica: This is so great! Now we can enter into doubles tournaments! Chandler: That's why! 22. Charlie: Thanks! Ross: Hi. Charlie: Are they still looking for us? Ross: Yeah. The bartender said that they split up into two search parties, the herbivores and the carnivores. (pause) You know, we as a group are not the coolest. (Three paleontologists walk by and Ross hugs Charlie trying not to be seen) Ross: I don't think they saw us. Charlie: I don't think they did. (They realize that they are hugging closely and he draws back) Charlie: Hum, so, I started to say you something earlier, hum... (pause) There was another reason I realized it was time to end it with Joey. I kind of realized I... was starting to have feelings... for someone else. Ross: (apparently unruffled) Oh. Can I... can I ask who? Charlie: I think you know. Ross: I think I know too but I've been really wrong about this stuff in the past, so... (Charlie kisses Ross, they stop for a moment and then he kisses her back) Ross: I'm sorry... we... we can't. Charlie: All right, all right. Ross: I mean, you just went out with my best friend, and I just think it'd be a really really bad idea. (pause) Or-or not! (they kiss passionately) (Joey walks in and sees Ross and Charlie kissing. He gives a faint, rueful smile, then he seems to recollect something and suddenly he moves back to Rachel's room. He knocks on her door and she opens) Rachel: What? (Joey says nothing, but enters the room and kisses her. They are kissing passionately only to stop for a brief "oh" from Rachel. They continue their passionate kiss and Joey closes the door with his foot and it shuts in the camera's "face". And that's the end of the ninth season.)

Friends 922 - The one with the donor

1. Charlie: (while Joey's giving her a massage) Oh! That feels sooo good! Rachel: Oh, lucky me! Coffee and a live sex show! Charlie: I'm sorry, what? Rachel:  I'm sorry! I was just reading to Emma. Charlie: From... Cosmo?? Rachel: Yeah, yeah... It's... "climax your way to better skin". Charlie: (to Joey) So, I have to go shopping today, which is my least favourite thing, I'm so bad at picking out clothes! Joey: So you need someone who knows fashion 懂时尚, to tell you what looks good. Rachel: Not me! Joey: Oh hey Rach! Rachel: Yeah... Joey: Maybe you could take Charlie shopping. Rachel: Oh, well... Charlie: I'm sure you have better things to do. Joey: Are you kidding? Rachel loves to shop 喜欢购物! And she has great taste! Yeah, she's the one who taught me, you don't wear white after labour day and that you always have to put on underwear when you're trying on clothes. Charlie: If you have the time, I'd really appreciate the help. Rachel: Ok, Let's shop!! Joey: (to Charlie) Ok, you're gonna come back with some very classy clothes... and some slutty lingerie, SLUTTY! Phoebe: (entering and talking on mobile phone) Ok, great! All right, bye! Pain in the ass!! That's off, right? Joey: What's the matter, Pheebs? Phoebe: Oh... Mike's sister just invited me to a party tonight, he's gonna be there. And she was like "Oh, don't worry! I asked him. He's totally ok with seeing you!". So now I have to go so he'll think that I'm totally ok with seeing him! Rachel: Which you're not, because you've totally hung up 放不下 on him! Phoebe: Exactly! Rachel: And you're gonna want him to eat his heart out 后悔不已, 后悔死了 so you're gonna have to look fabulous! Phoebe: (after a short pause) I didn't even think about that! (pause) Aaargh, sexual politics!! Rachel: Hey Pheebs, I'm taking Charlie shopping, why don't you come and I'll help you find something. Phoebe: Ok, that'll be great! Joey: Oh, ain't that nice? The three of you trying on slutty lingerie together. Rachel: That's not what we're gonna do! Joey: Why would you ruin it, who was that hurtin'? 2. Chandler: Wow! Fortunately she has a very pretty face! Monica: Oh, I so can't believe this! My uterus is an inhospitable 不适宜生存的 environment? I was trying so hard to be a good hostess! Chandler: Oh, I can't believe my sperm have low motility because, let me tell you, when I was growing up they sure seem to be in a hurry to get places!! Doctor Connelly: I'm sorry there wasn't better news from your test last week but I wanted to talk to you about your options. Above all, even though your chances of conceiving through natural means aren't great, you never know! So, keep having sex on a regular basis. Monica: Don't worry, after a while he'll tune it out. Doctor Connelly: Ok, given your situation, the options with the greatest chances for success would be surrogacy, or insemination using a sperm donor. Monica: Ok. Doctor Connelly: And, of course, if you feel that neither of those is right for you, you can always adopt. Chandler: Is that a hint? Because we love you Doctor Connelly but we don't think we'd want you to be our child! Wow, talking about an inhospitable environment! 3. Rachel: Hi! Ok, you're ready to go pick up Phoebe and go shopping? Charlie: Oh, yeah! Let's do it! Joey: (to Charlie) Alright, have a good time. (they kiss) Rachel: Not gonna find any clothes in there! Ross: (entering) Hey, you guys! Rachel: Hi. Ross: Guess who's up for keynote speaker at the National Paleontology Conference? Charlie: Umh... Kurts Baley? Ross: Yeah, right! What was last time he met a submission deadline for an abstract (he and Charlie laugh, then Joey starts laughing too without any reason) Well, why are you laughing? Joey: Just... seeing 看看...是什么感觉 what it'd be like to be a paleontologist... it's fun, yeah! Charlie: So you're up for keynote speaker! Who's making the decisions? Ross: Professor Sherman, yeah. I've a meeting with him today. Charlie: He's a pretty tough guy to impress. Ross: Yeah, well... I think I know how to dazzle him. Rachel: Oh... you're not gonna do a magic trick 变魔术, 变戏法, are ya? Ross:NO! Chandler: (entering) Hey guys! Ross: Wait a minute, you guys. Oh, I wanna ask you something. I may get to speak at this paleontology convention and if I do, I'd love for you guys to come and hear me. Chandler: I think I can safely say that we all have family issues, work stuff and/or are sick. Ross: It's in Barbados. Chandler: But you come first! Rachel: I'm there! Charlie: We'll see you, guys! 4. Joey: All right, so. How did it go at the fertility clinic 生育诊所, 计生诊所? Chandler: Not as much fun as last time. Apparently you only get porn if you're giving a sperm sample. Ross: So-so what did the doctor say? Chandler: Well... there's surrogacy [ˈsʌrəɡəsi] 代孕, but Monica has dreamt her whole life of carrying a child, she has felt that watching a surrogate would be... too hard for her. Joey: So you're ruling out surrogacy? Chandler: Yeah. Joey: So, I don't have to learn what that means? Chandler: Aside from adoption the only other choice is insemination, so... we're talking about sperm donors. Joey: Enough said 说过很多次了, I'm there for you man. Where is she, upstairs? Chandler: (stopping Joey) ah-ha! Ross: How do you feel about all this? Chandler: I wish there was an easier way for us to have a child but I don't think there is one. Joey: Come on Ross, be a good guy. Step up 勇敢点, 站出来 and do it! Ross: (puzzled) What? NO! I am not going to give them Ben! 5. Ross: The data we are receiving from MRI scans and DNA testing of these fossils are - are staggering. Professor Sherman: Mmm-mm. Ross: (reading from a notepad) I mean, we've been accepting Leakey's dates as a given(take something as a given (they are givens 那是自然的, 那还用问) 既定事实, 必然的事情, 不容置疑的事, 想当然的, 当做真理, 不变的事实, 公理 to accept that something is true and not expect it to change. to regard or accept (something) as true or real. I think we can take their support as given. I think we can take (it) as given that they will support us. We've taken it as a given that our members are honest. Wild animals are given to 想当然就是要, 生来就是, 天生就是来 pack assaults and killings. known fact 公认的事实, 公理 something that is generally recognized as a fact. That grass is green is a known fact. It is a known fact that John was in Chicago on the night of the murder. truism [ˈtru:ɪz(ə)m] 真理. 公理. a statement that does not really need to be made because everyone already knows it is true. A self-evident or obvious truth. A banality or cliché. Oliver finds a charm and truism in her comments. They quickly fall in love. 公理和定理: An axiom ['æksiəm] is a premise or starting point of reasoning. As classically conceived, an axiom is a premise so evident as to be accepted as true without controversy. In mathematics, the term axiom is used in two related but distinguishable senses: "logical axioms" and "non-logical axioms". In both senses, an axiom is any mathematical statement that serves as a starting point from which other statements are logically derived. Unlike theorems定理, 定律, axioms (unless redundant) cannot be derived by principles of deduction, nor are they demonstrable by mathematical proofs, simply because they are starting points; there is nothing else from which they logically follow (otherwise they would be classified as theorems). ), but if they're off by even a hundred thousand years or so then you can - you can just throw most of our assumptions 推断, you know, right in the trash. (he throws the notepad in the waste bin) So what I am saying is that (he picks the notepad back from the waste bin) is that the repercussions could be huge! I mean, not just in palaeontology [ˌpæliɑnˈtɑlədʒi] (palaeontology ([ˌpeɪliɒnˈtɒlədʒi, ˌpæli-, -ən-]), but if you think about it, in evolutionary biology, uh, genetics, geology, uh, I mean, truly the mind boggles! (Turns to look at Professor Sherman, only to discover that he is sleeping) Ross: Oh, that's not what you want... 6. Shop assistant: (to a girl) Incentive 动力的 ( something that makes you want to do something or to work harder, because you know that you will benefit by doing this. They want to stimulate growth in the region by offering incentives to foreign investors. incentive to do something: Many farmers have little incentive to invest in costly conservation measures. The promise of a job will give Mary an incentive to pass the exam. financial/tax incentive 刺激因素: Employers are being offered financial incentives to hire young people. an added incentive: The seaside venue of the conference is an added incentive. ) For Men? Phoebe: Oh, I'll take some of that. Rachel: Pheebs, that's for men! Phoebe: No, I know, this way when I go to the party later Mike will know I am over him cause I'm gonna smell like another guy. (to the shop assistant) Yeah. (The shop assistant sprays the perfume on Phoebe's neck) Phoebe: Ok. Oh good, I'm dating a Russian cab driver. (to the shop assistant). Seriously does anyone buy this? I smell like beets (red as a beet very red in your face, especially because you are embarrassed He got as red as a beet when he realized his mistake.)! Charlie: (to Rachel) So, you know what, I really like those jackets with the shoulder pads on them. Where do you think those would be? Rachel: On Melanie Griffith in "Working girl". I think what you want is over here. Charlie: See, I told you I needed someone! Oh, you know, by the way, as a "thank you", I would really love to take you out. Rachel: Really? Charlie: Yeah! Actually Joey and I are going to the movies tonight, wanna come? Rachel: Oh, I can't. Because I've seen them. Charlie: You've seen all the movies... Rachel: Yeah! I'm a big fan! Of the movies, you know. Motion pictures. The Talkies! Phoebe: (picks up a dress) Hey Rach, will you come with me to a dressing room 试衣间 (fitting room)(A changing room, locker room, dressing room (usually in a sports, theater or staff context) or changeroom (regional use) is a room or area designated for changing one's clothes. Changing rooms are provided in a semi-public situation to enable people to change clothes with varying degrees of privacy. Fitting rooms, or dressing rooms, are usually small single-user cubicles where a person may try on clothes. These are often found at retail stores where one would want to try on clothes before purchasing them. Green rooms and trap rooms are usually mixed-gender backstage or under-stage changing spaces found at theaters and other similar venues. Changing stalls are small stalls where clothes can be changed in privacy. They are used for swimming purposes.)? Rachel: Sure! Phoebe: Ok! Charlie: Wha, you know, maybe we can do something else! Rachel: You know that depends on what it is! I've done a lot of stuff. (Phoebe and Rachel go off to the dressing rooms. They enter one and close the curtain.) Phoebe: So what were you doing out there, do you not like Charlie? Rachel: She's ok, I just don't get a really good vibe from her! Phoebe: Why? Rachel: I don't know, you know, just the way she waltzed in here all smart, and tall! You know, and just swept Joey off his feet 迷得五迷三道的, 神魂颠倒的... I mean, nobody else has a chance! Phoebe: Who else? Rachel: Anybody! You, me, you know, Monica's mom... Phoebe: You like Joey? Rachel: Shhhhh! Phoebe! All right, look. I have a little thing for him. Phoebe: (whispering) Oh my God! Rachel: It's just physical and I have it totally under control! Ok? It's just, when I see them together, sometimes I just get a little jealous! Phoebe: Uh, wow! Isn't it ironic that he liked you and now you like him? Rachel: (annoyed) Oh, I get it! Phoebe: Oh well, as long as it is under control, you know, you can't do anything about it, he's already dating her, and she is a nice person, that wouldn't be right. Rachel: I know, I know, so it is just not a big deal. Phoebe: Yeah. Rachel: So can we keep this between us? Phoebe: Sure! Rachel: Ok, great, because I gotta get out of here, the smell of beets is killing me! Phoebe: Oh. (Rachel opens the curtains and sees Charlie coming out from the dressing room just next to theirs) Phoebe: Any chance Charlie has a deaf twin? 7. Monica: Hi honey! Chandler: Hey! Look I brought a friend for dinner, this is Zack, from work! Monica: Oh, of course, it's so nice to see you again, Zack! Zack: (shaking Monica's hand) You too. Chandler: You guys haven't actually met before, but, boy! You're both polite! (pause) Go to have a seat Zack, and I'll get you a beer. Monica: I got it. Zack: Thanks. Chandler: (to Mon) So, Zack's pretty nice, uh? Monica: Yeah, I guess. Chandler: So, how would you like to have a baby that's half yours and half his! Monica: (turns around and she's quite shocked) Excuse me? Chandler: Well, we're talking about sperm donors and Zack may be the guy! I mean, look, he's intelligent, he's healthy, he's athletic, I mean, he is "spermtastic"! Monica: Chandler, this is crazy! What did you even say to him! "Come up, meet my wife! Give us your sperm"! Chandler: No, I invited him to dinner so you could get a chance to get to know him! I mean, if we go through a sperm bank you never meet the guy, get to check him out. Monica: Chandler! Chandler: I'm telling you, he's great! I mean, even if my sperm worked fine, I'd think he'd be the way to go! Monica: I'm not going to be a part of this! You can't just bring some random guy at home and expect him to be our sperm donor! Chandler: Ok! Monica: Uh! Chandler: (bringing the beer to Zack) Zack! Zack: Thanks! Do you have a coaster? I don't wanna make a ring. (Monica hears that and is suddenly very interested in Zack) Monica: Tell me about yourself, Zack! 8. Rachel: Oh, God, do you think she heard? It would be so bad if she heard! Phoebe: Well, maybe she didn't hear! Ok I'm gonna go into that dressing room, you stay in here and I'll talk and see if you can hear me. Rachel: Ok, great! (Phoebe moves in the dressing room from which Charlie went out) Rachel: Oh, thank God I can't hear a word that you're saying! Phoebe: (sticks her head out) I didn't say anything yet! Rachel: (sticks her head out too) Well, get back in there and talk! Phoebe: (goes back in) I'm Rachel. It's so annoying when I put Emma on the phone to talk with my friends. Rachel: (comes out again) What!? Phoebe: (comes out too) Well, some things are just hard to say to your face. Rachel: Ok well, I heard that! Which means that she heard it too! Phoebe: Ooh! We have a problem. Rachel: Oh! What are we gonna do? (A strange woman sticks her head out 探出头来, 伸出头来 from a third changing cubicle 试衣间 to the far right) Stranger: Just be honest with her. Rachel: Oh my God! Stranger: And it is annoying when parents put their baby on the phone... Rachel: (yelling at the stranger) Alright! Enough out of you! 8. Joey: Hello? Ross: Joey! Hey, I need to talk to Charlie. Is she there? Joey: No. no... eh... she went shopping with Rachel. Why? What's up? Ross: I'm meeting with professor Sherman about my being the keynote speaker... Joey: Oh! How's it going? Ross: It could be better! He, uhm... he fell asleep! Joey: What!? But I already bought my ticket to Bermuda! Ross: Barbados. Joey: Fine, I'll rent a car and drive...! Ross, you have to get that job! Ross: What am I supposed to do? He's out cold 沉睡过去, 睡死过去 ( completely unconscious If someone is out cold, they are unconscious or sleeping very heavily. She was out cold but still breathing. )! In fact he was just talking in his sleep before and evidently he wants someone named Fran to spank him harder. Joey: Well, just wake him up! Ross: I can't! If he realizes that I'm the one that put him to sleep, I won't get the job! Joey: Uh! That's a tough one. Oh! Wait a minute, this happened to me before! Yeah, I was auditioning for a play and the producer fell asleep and... (pause) no wait a minute... it was me who fell asleep... Yeah I mean hey, Shakespeare, how about a chase scene once in a while!? 9. Monica: Hey guys! Dinner's ready! Zack: Oh! I'm gonna go wash up 洗一下, 洗手 first. Thanks! Chandler: So what do you think? I want that guys genes for my kid! Those eyes, those cheeckbones! Monica: Ok, there's enthusiastic and there's just plain gay!! Chandler: You don't like him. Monica: I think he is fine! It's just that we don't know anything real about him... we should get more information. Chandler: Alright! Just follow my lead! Zack: You guys have such a great place here. Chandler: Oh! Thanks, I'm crazy about our place. Hey! speaking of crazy... do you have a history of mental illness in the family? Zack: Uhm... no. Although I did have an uncle who voted for Dukakis. Chandler: (very seriously) That's really not the kind of thing we are looking for Zack. Zack: (looking very puzzled) Okaaay... so eh... so tell me, how did you guys meet. Monica: Oh, friends first, drunk in London, you know the story. I've got a better question for you: Do you or any of your blood relatives have diabetes? Zack: (after a pause, very confused) No... Monica: Eh... Heart Disease, Alzheimers, gout? Zack: You guys don't have people for dinner a lot, huh? Monica: We're just making conversation. (Chandler makes an agreeing-sound) Zack: Ok. I heard a joke today. It's pretty funny... Chandler: You know what's not funny? Male Pattern Baldness (Monica stretches her neck to look behind Zack's head and then gives Chandler an "ok" sign) Zack: Ok listen, you guys have shown a lot of interest in me tonight and I'm flattered and... and quite frankly a little frightened. Can we just talk about something else? Monica & Chandler: Sure! Alright... Zack: Ravioli's delicious! Chandler: I noticed you were enjoying that Ravioli with a beautiful set of teeth. Did you have braces as a child? Zack: No I didn't. Monica: Yess!! Chandler: (Proceeding with his dinner) We're teeth people Zack! 10. Rachel: Alright! Let's just do it. Let's just go over there and see if she heard. Phoebe: Good plan. Rachel: Ok. (Phoebe starts to walk in the opposite direction though. Rachel sees and follows her) Wha...? where? Where are you going? Phoebe: Oh! I'm sorry Rachel, I don't have time for your childish games, ok? I still have to go find something incredible to wear so I can beat Mike at "who's more over who"! (at which she walks away) Rachel: (to Charlie) Hey, hi! Hey, where've you been? Charlie: Oh! trying on clothes. Rachel: (pretends to be stunned) Oh! in the dressing room!? Well, that's so weird! Phoebe and I were just trying on clothes in the dressing room. God it's just such a small world! Charlie: (smiling) Rachel... I heard you guys whispering. Rachel: Oh God. You did. You heard. Ok, listen, let me explain. Charlie: No! There's nothing to explain. I heard you. Phoebe likes Joey. Rachel: (after a pause) Yeah. Charlie: It's just that... I don't understand it... I mean, Phoebe likes Joey and then she comes here to buy a dress to impress another guy...? Rachel: Yeah! That's Phoebe. That's Phoebe. You know, she just wants them all! It's like she's a nympho 淫妇, 荡妇([ˈnɪmfoʊ] a nymphomaniac. [ˌnɪmfəˈmeɪniˌæk] a woman who is always thinking about sex or is always wanting to have sex. )! Charlie: Wow! Rachel: Yeah... Charlie: You know, by the way. I heard you tell her not to do anything. Thanks for sticking up for 为我仗义执言, 支持我, 撑腰 me. You are such a nice person. Rachel: (Looks ashamed) I try... 11. (Ross takes his suitcase and tries to get out but ends up falling on Prof. Sherman's laps, thereby waking him up) Ross: (To the still half asleep Professor) Oh my God! You really want me to be the keynote speaker? Thank you! (hugs him whilst still on his lap) Prof. Sherman: (confused) You're welcome. (Ross hugs him again) 12. (Phoebe walks in wearing a fancy, revealing dress, and stands before Joey) Joey: (impressed) Wow! You look... (drops the cookie)... stop-eating hot! Which is like the highest level of hotness! Phoebe: Are you sure? Because I'm really dreading going to this party. Joey: Then don't go! Phoebe: Mike knows I'm coming, and if I don't show up he'll think it's because of him! And I don't want to lose face! That's a very serious thing in my culture. Joey: Alright, then you go to that party and you pretend to be over Mike. And afterward you come to my place and I'll get you good and drunk! Phoebe: You got it! Ok. But not on the wine that you made, ok, because I just don't want to go back to the Emergency Room. 12. Phoebe: David? (David the scientist guy is standing at the news-stand) David: Phoebe! Hi! Phoebe: Oh my God! (they hug) David: Wow, you look unbelievable. Phoebe: Yeah. What-what are you doing here? David: Well, I'm back from Minsk... permanently. Phoebe: What happened? David: Well, remember how I was trying to achieve the positronic distillation of subatomic particles? Phoebe: Yeah? David: Well, after eight years of research I discovered that it can't be done. Phoebe: Well, it's great that you're back! How are you? David: Good, good, life is good... Phoebe: Good! David: Ah well, I-I'm seeing someone. Phoebe: (disappointed) Oh, good for you. David: She's also a scientist, so she's very smart and pretty and... well, it's actually because of you, really, that we're together, I mean, I saw what you had with that Mike guy, and I just said "Boy, I want that". Phoebe: Mike and I broke up. David: You're kidding me. Because I'm not seeing anybody, I've just totally made that up. Phoebe: Really? David: Yeah, I don't know why, I'm sorry, I guess I just didn't want to lose face. Phoebe: I understand. Yeah. Ok so then ok, so we're both living in New York, not seeing anyone. That's so not like us! David: Yeah, I know. Well... this is probably a stupid question, seeing that you look like that, but do you have some place that you need to be right now? Phoebe: Well... (pause) no. David: Do you wanna get a drink? Phoebe: I'd love to. David: Great. Phoebe: Ok. (they walk away together) David: Do you smell beets? Phoebe: Oh, got it, stay upwind 上风口 of me. 13. Charlie: Hey, there's Phoebe! Is that Mike she's with? Rachel: No, that's David. Charlie: There's a third guy? Rachel: (disapprovingly) Tip of the iceberg. 14. Zack: I'm gonna take off now. You're gonna let me go home, aren't you? Chandler: You sure you don't wanna stick around a little longer 多呆一会, 多待一会儿? Zack: No, no, I should get home, I'm kinda tired. Chandler: Are you just tired now or are you always tired, 'cause that could be a sign of clinical depression. Zack: No it's just tiring having to figure out the age at which all my grandparents died. I'll see you tomorrow. Chandler: Ok. (Zack leaves) Chandler: I think we've found our sperm! Monica: Does seem pretty perfect. Chandler: Yeah, you think so, well? Should I ask him? Monica: (pause) No. Chandler: Why not, just because his great-grandmother was obese, our kids are gonna get that from you anyway! Monica: No, that's not it 不是那样的, 不是那个. It's just that when we were asking him all those questions before, I just... I just realized I don't care if he's the most perfect guy in the world... he's not you. Chandler: Yeah, he's better! Monica: No, he's not. And if I can't get pregnant with you, then I don't want to get pregnant by... him or anyone else. Chandler: Really? Are you sure? Monica: Yeah, I'm sure. Chandler: (sighs with relief) Thank God, because I don't wanna do this either. You know, I was just doing because I thought that was what you wanted to do. You know, I'm the husband, I'm supposed to... bring the sperm. Monica: That is so sweet. I love you. (they kiss) Chandler: So you know this leaves us with... Monica: Adoption. Chandler: How do you feel about that? Monica: I think I feel ok about it. Actually I think I feel really good about it. Chandler: Me too. I wanna find a baby that needs a home and I wanna raise it with you. And I wanna mess it up in our own specific 独特的方式, 独一无二的 way. Monica: So this is it, we're really gonna adopt? Chandler: (smiling) Yeah. Monica: (excitedly) Oh my God, we're gonna be parents! Chandler: We are gonna be great parents. Monica: And it could be soon. I mean, think about it: right now, somewhere out there (they go look through the window) our baby could be being conceived. Chandler: Wait, if we're lucky, and we're really really really quiet, we may be able to hear the sound of a condom breaking! 14. Hey Chandler. Chandler: Look, I just wanted to apologize for last night. I got the feeling we made you a little uncomfortable. Zack: No you didn't. Chandler: Really? Zack: No you did. Chandler: My wife and I have some boundary issues 说话没谱, you know, sometimes we ask inappropriate questions. We're working on it. (Zack's pregnant secretary, Jeanette, walks in) Jeanette: (to Zack) Here are the boards for Friday's pitch (hands him something). Zack: Oh, thank you. (Jeanette walks out) Chandler: You wouldn't know if Jeanette's planning on keeping her baby, would ya?
