The One With the Thumb 【103】The One With the Thumb Written by: Jeffrey Astrof & Mike Sikowitz. Transcribed by: guineapig 103 飞来横财 罗斯终于发现真相：童年时的爱犬奇奇死掉了、而不是被送往农场养老，当年被父母善意的欺骗了。 钱德戒烟失败；众人皆不满，钱德将矛头指向各人的缺点，籍此转移了注意力。 菲比从银行得到一笔飞来横财；她去投诉，反而阴差阳错获得更多赔偿；她将钱悉数送人，对方报以一罐苏打水——开罐饮用时发现了一根拇指在里头。饮料公司赔偿给她7000美金。 莫妮卡的新男友阿兰大受其余五人爱戴，但莫妮卡最终和他分手。 阿兰如释重负，因为莫妮卡的五个朋友太缠人啦。 [Scene: Central Perk, everyone but Phoebe is there.] Phoebe: (entering) Hi guys! All: Hey, Pheebs! Hi! Ross: Hey. Oh, oh, how'd it go如何? Phoebe: Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway他送我到地铁 and said 'We should do this again!' All: Ohh. Ouch. Rachel: What? He said 'we should do it again', that's good, right? Monica: Uh, no. Loosely translated 'We should do this again' means 'You will never see me naked'. loosely adv.宽松地, 松散地/loosely translate 泛泛地解释为 Rachel: Since when? Joey: Since always(=forever). It's like dating language. Y'know, like 'It's not you' means 'It is you'. Chandler: Or 'You're such a nice guy' means 'I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you'. date leather-wearing alchoholics与皮革族的酒徒约会/总穿着皮裤又酗酒的人，应该是很嬉皮，古怪的，和他们约会可能会有刺激的感觉。但不一定说a nice guy就是比他们差，而是觉得和他约会比较闷，只能用nice来形容了。 Phoebe: Or, or, y'know, um, 'I think we should see other people我们该试试别人' means 'Ha, ha, I already am'. Rachel: And everybody knows this? Joey: Yeah. Cushions the blow. cushion n.垫子, 软垫, 衬垫v.加衬垫/blow n.殴打, 突然的打击v.风吹, 吹气于 Cushions the blow: 可怜的Rach问是不是只有她是颗嫩草，善解人意的Joey来了这么一句，意思是take it easy.想想看吧，cushion是垫子的意思，用垫子承接打击，当然是放轻松点的意思咯。这可以作为固定用法记下来。 Chandler: Yeah, it's like when you're a kid, and your parents put your dog to sleep对狗实施安乐死, and they tell you it went off to live on some farm. go off v.离开, 去世, 消失 Ross: That's funny, that, no, because, uh, our parents actually did, uh, send our dog off to live on a farm. send vt.送, 寄, 发送, 派遣, 打发/send sb off打发某人走，送走 Monica: Uh, Ross. Ross: What? Wh- hello? The Millners' farm in Connecticut? The Millners, they had this unbelievable farm, they had horses, and, and rabbits that he could chase and it was- it w- .....Oh my God, Chi Chi! Connecticut n.（美国）康涅狄格/chase v.n.追逐，追击 Phoebe: Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway and said 'We should do this again!'Phoebe同一个男人出去约会回来告诉大家，那个男人怎么和她说的。“We should do this again”，表面上好像是以后我们还应该再继续约会，其实这是dating language，往往都是反着说的。Phoebe说完之后，大家都明白了，只有可爱的Rach傻乎乎的不明所以，还在那里夸好，于是大家只好半是卖弄半是教她的举了其他一些例子。比如“It's not you'”就是“It is you”，“You're such a nice guy”意思是 “I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you”等等。恋爱中的人们想必能够理解这些吧，是不是经常听到女生说hate u？ Opening Credits [Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Chandler is helping Joey rehearse排练 for a part.] Chandler: "So how does it feel knowing you're about to die?"

Monica: No. Not after what happened with Steve. Chandler: What are you talking about? We love Schhteve! Schhteve was schhexy!.. Sorry. monica之前在perk里谈到她前一个男友总被他们嘲笑，原因就是那个男的说话舌头不直，chan还学他说：“We love Schhteve! Schhteve was schhexy!”这次alan见面也开玩笑学着说“schho much ”，所以大家都笑了。 Monica: Look, I don't even know how I feel about him yet. Just give me a chance to figure that out. figure out v.合计为, 计算出, 解决, 断定, 领会到 to 想清楚 Rachel: Well, then can we meet him? Monica: Nope. Schhorry. [Scene: Iridium, Monica and Paula are at work.] Monica: I mean, why should I let them meet him? I mean, I bring a guy home, and within five minutes they're all over him. I mean, they're like- coyotes, picking off the weak members of the herd. coyote n.一种产于北美大草原的小狼, 山狗/herd n.兽群，牧群 all over adv.全部结束, 到处, 浑身, <口>完全象/all over him 这里all over him的意思是a.不喜欢，全身挑毛病/在另一集中chan对mon说 pheo is all over him ,这里有b.引诱，往身上贴的意思。原义是c.非常喜欢...，着迷，因为喜欢得不得了，所以恨不得扑上去贴着 eg:I'm all over you.我對你非常地著迷.= I have a crush on you. 这二句都是表达很喜欢某人的意思./All over somebody 還有一個很常用的用法, 我把他翻成 "三貼" 比如說你去舞廳跳舞, 看到有一對男女跳到三點都貼在一起了, 你就可以跟你的同伴說, Hey, look, the guy is dancing all over the girl. / 一字之差但是意思完全不同喔. 你要是說 I'm over you, 就是說我跟你之間完了, 我不想再和你有任何的瓜葛. 這和 I'm all over you 是完全不一樣的. Paula: Listen. As someone who's seen more than her fair share of bad beef, I'll tell you: that is not such a terrible thing. I mean, they're your friends, they're just looking out after you关心你. As someone who's seen more than her fair share of bad beef作为一个吃过的坏牛排比你看过的好牛排还多的人. /coyote是一种产于北美大草原的小狼，可以和hyena一起记忆。Pick off the weak members of the herd,摘取、挑选弱处下手的意思。在Paula的回答中，她先摆了一下自己的老资格“As someone who’s seen more than her fair share of bad beef”（意即作为一个见了过多臭牛排的厨师来说，别忘了，她和Monica都是厨师这重身份，这里她用bad beef比喻那些不怎么样的男人），然后告诫Monica这没什么大不了的，不是什么糟糕的事情，毕竟他们是你的朋友，在你身后帮你留神着呢。/听着，作为一个见了过多坏的牛排的厨师，我要告诉你：这不是坏事。这和中文里有人依仗自己经验丰富，开始给他人忠告时所说的——我过的桥比你走的路还长，吃的盐比你吃的饭还多。这事儿我见得多了，听我的没错。—差不多，就是表明自己下面的话具有可信度，表明自己有足够的经验来处理你所面对的困难。所以这里应该是说“我已阅坏牛肉无数” “这种事情我见多了”的意思 Monica: I know. I just wish that once, I'd bring a guy home that they actually liked. Paula: Well, you do realise the odds可能性 of that happening are a little slimmer if they never get to meet the guy.. the slim odds微乎其微的可能性 odds这里的意思是可能的机会、几率，相当于Chance。记住一个词组odds and ends，是零碎的东西的意思，经常能看到报纸或者杂志用这个词组作为一个栏目名称。整句话翻译过来就是：如果他们永远不能见到那个家伙，你会发现（他们完全接受他的）机会几乎没有。Slim的变形slimmer这里表示非常渺茫的意思。 [Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Chandler is smoking out on the balcony, Phoebe is absent.] Joey: Let it go, Ross. Ross: Yeah, well, you didn't know Chi Chi. Monica: Do you all promise? All: Yeah! We promise! We'll be good! Monica: (shouts to Chandler) Chandler? Do you promise to be good? (Chandler makes a 'Cross my heart' sign.  It starts to rain and he taps on the window.) Cross my heart"保证"或者"发誓"。eg: "Billy, cross my heart, it wasn't me who broke your bicycle."eg: Honey, cross my heart, I've never looked at another woman since the first day I set eyes on you! Believe me, that's the truth!" Joey: You can come in, but your filter-tipped little buddy小兄弟 has to stay outside! filter-tipped adj.有过滤嘴的 (Chandler sulkily picks up a garbage can lid and uses it as an umbrella.) sulk v.n.生闷气，愠怒/sulky adj.生气的/sulkily adv.愠怒地，不高兴地/garage n.车库/garbage can垃圾箱=litter bin/lid n.盖子 (Phoebe enters, walks to the couch, sits down, and begins to read a letter without saying hi.) Ross: Hey, Pheebs. Phoebe: 'Dear Ms. Buffay. Thank you for calling attention to our error. We have credited your account with five hundred dollars. We're sorry for the inconvenience, and hope you'll accept this- (Searches in her purse) -football phone as our free gift.' Do you believe this?! Now I have a thousand dollars, and a football phone! call attention to 唤起注意/credit account n.信用帐户/credit account with将……（钱）存入你的帐户 Rachel: What bank is this? (The intercom buzzes.) Monica: Hey. It's him. (On the intercom) Who is it? Alan: (on the intercom) It's Alan. Joey: (shouting to Chandler) Chandler! He's here他来了! (Chandler comes in, dripping wet.) drip n.水滴v.(使)滴下/ dripping wet adv.湿透地；湿淋淋地 Monica: (to all) Okay, please be good, please. Just remember how much you all like me. (She opens the door and Alan enters.) Monica: Hi. Alan, this is everybody. Everybody, this is Alan. Alan: Hi. All: Hi, Alan. Alan: I've heard schho much about all you guyschh! (Everyone laughs.)

Okay, let's let the Alan-bashing begin. Who's gonna take the first shot, hmm? 这段话很多人讨论过，主要集中在Alan-bashing上，其实之前Monica已经是下了很大的决心要带Alan同大家见面，心里已经做好了被挖苦的准备了（之前的wine guy,还有那个说话漏风的家伙等等一定让她被讽刺的很不爽），不过这次大家总算给足了面子，包括为了抽烟而宁愿在走廊淋的浑身湿透的Chandler（dripping wet）,Monica一定觉得怪怪的，所以才会等Alan一走就面向大家：好了，现在开始Alan的批判会吧！（Alan-bashing是个有趣的组合，我们也可以用的，比如看到Antique欺负谁了，也可以来个antique-bashing嘛。“take the first shot”也值得记下，各种场合都可以用，“谁先来？”，呵呵，Antique的笔记那么臭，开批判会啦，who’s gonna take the first shot? (Silence.) Monica: C'mon! Ross: ...I'll go. Let's start with the way he kept picking at- no, I'm sorry, I can't do this, can't do this. We loved him. pick at v.用指尖拉, 少量地吃 All: Loved him! Yeah! He's great! Monica: Wait a minute! We're talking about someone that I'm going out with? All: Yeah! Rachel: And did you notice...? (She spreads her thumb and index finger食指.)

Ross等几个拼命吹嘘Alan，也不知道是真的喜欢还是投Monica所好，总之Monica乐坏了。 Rachel: What future boyfriends? Nono, I th- I think this could be, y'know, it. Monica: Really! Chandler: Oh, yeah. I'd marry him just for his David Hasselhof impression alone. You know I'm gonna be doing that at parties, right? (Does the impression) David Hasselhoff 钱德勒在夸奖莫尼卡的男友阿兰时说，就凭他“戴维·哈塞霍夫(David Hasselhoff)”般的表情，连钱德勒自己都想嫁给他。说着，钱德勒还学了一个表情。戴维·哈塞霍夫是著名的歌手兼偶像，曾主演过《霹雳游侠》和《杰克和海德》。 David Hasselhof Ross: You know what I like most about him, though? All: What? Ross: The way he makes me feel about myself 他让我找回了自我，或意译为，和他在一起，让我重拾自信。 All: Yeah...

Chandler: Yep是的, we sure showed those Hassidic jewellers a thing or two about softball.. Hassidic adj.[宗](犹太教)哈西德派的/jeweler n.珠宝商 Monica: Can I ask you guys a question?

Lizzie: Hey, Weird Girl. Phoebe: I brought you alphabet soup字母汤. Lizzie: Did you pick out the vowels元音? Phoebe: Yes. But I left in the Ys. 'Cause, y'know, "sometimes y". Uh, I also have something else for you. (She searches in her purse.) alphabet soup:母汤是一种罐头汤，里面是切成ABC字母图案的细面条，让小朋友边喝汤边把里面的字母排成单词来玩。而美国儿音背诵元音的口诀是：A, E, I, O, U, sometimes Y. 字母Y是半元音，有时候会当辅音使用，所以Phoebe觉得它不全然算元音，就保留在汤里了，并特意还强调 sometimes Y这个口诀。 Lizzie: Saltines撒盐饼干? Phoebe: No, but would you like a thousand dollars and a football phone? Lizzie: What? (She opens the envelope Phoebe has given her.) Oh my God, there's really money in here. Phoebe: I know.

Like, collect all five? Phoebe: Does, um, anyone wanna see? All: Nooo! (Chandler lights a cigarette.) All: Oh, hey, don't do that! Cut it out停止做某事or 住手，住口! Rachel: It's worse than the thumb! Chandler: Hey, this is so unfair! Monica: Oh, why is it unfair? Chandler: So I have a flaw! Big deal! Like Joey's constant knuckle-cracking isn't annoying? And Ross, with his over-pronouncing every single word将每个字发得过于清晰? And Monica, with that snort when she laughs?

Joey: ...Does the knuckle-cracking bother everybody? Rachel: Well, I-I could live without it我觉得是有点烦（很婉转的一种表达方式）. Joey: Well, is it, like, a little annoying, or is it like when Phoebe chews咀嚼 her hair? (Phoebe spits out吐出 her hair.) Ross: Oh, now, don't listen to him, Pheebs, I think it's endearing. endearing adj.引起爱情的, 可爱的, 令人钟爱的 Joey: Oh, (Imitating Ross) "you do, do you是吗"? (Monica laughs and snorts.) Ross: You know, there's nothing wrong with speaking correctly. Rachel: "Indeed there isn't"... I should really get back to work. Phoebe: Yeah, 'cause otherwise someone might get what they actually ordered. Rachel: Ohh-ho-hooohhh. The hair comes out, and the gloves（n.手套）come on. gloves:是从一句俗语来的,其实就相当于hurt somebody。我估计是从拳击那边引过来的，as in boxing gloves/本来rachel是站在phoebe一条战线上的（she thinks phoebe's chewing hair is endearing），没想到pheobe“恩将仇报”的讽刺了她一回，Rachel觉得被出卖了，所以说phoebe has the gloves on.说有时候你还会听到类似的说法：“not lay a glove(fingure or hand) on”， which means leave unhurt. (They degenerate into bickering and Chandler happily starts to smoke, undisturbed.) degenerate adj.退化的vt.退化degenerate into/退or蜕化为，堕落为/bickering n.争吵 Flaw这里是faul
