双语剧本[Scene: Central Perk, everyone but Phoebe is there.]

-Phoebe:(entering) Hi guys!
大家好！
-All:Hey, Pheebs! Hi!
嗨，Pheebs！
-Ross:Hey. Oh, oh, how'd it go?
嗨，你的约会怎么样？
-Phoebe:Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway and said 'We should do this again!'
不怎么样。他送我到地铁，说：“我们当时应该再做一次。”
-All:Ohh. Ouch.
噢。
-Rachel:What? He said 'we should do it again', that's good, right?
什么？他说：‘我们当时应该再做一次’，那是不很好吗，对吧？
-Monica:Uh, no.Loosely translated'We should do this again' means 'You will never see menaked'.
不，‘我们应该再约一次’一般可以理解为‘你将再也看不到我的裸体。’
-Rachel:Since when?
什么时候开始的？

-Joey:Since always. It's like dating language. You know, like 'It's not you' means 'It is you'.
一直这样的。这是约会用语。就像‘问题不是出在你’其实就是‘就是你’。
-Chandler:Or 'You're such a nice guy' means 'I'm gonna be dating leather-wearingalcoholicsandcomplainingabout them to you'.
还有‘你真好’意思是‘我要和总穿着皮裤又酗酒的人约会…，然后向你抱怨.
-Phoebe: Or, or, you know, um, 'I think we should see other people' means 'Ha, ha, I already am'.
还有，你知道，恩，‘我想我们应该约约其他人’意思是‘哈哈，我已经约过了。’
-Rachel:And everybody knows this?
你们大家都知道这些？
-Joey:Yeah. Cushions the blow.
对。免得太伤人。
-Chandler:Yeah, it's like when you're a kid, and your parentsput your dog to sleep,and they tell you it went off to live on some farm.
没错。就像小时候父母对小狗实行安乐死，父母骗小孩那样，说它跑到别人家的农场去了。
-Ross:That's funny, that, no, because, uh, our parents actually did, uh, send our dog off to live on a farm.
太有意思了。不过，我们的父母倒真的把我们家的狗送到农场去了。
-Monica:Uh, Ross.
嗯，Ross。
-Ross:What? Wh- hello? The Millners' farm in Connecticut? The Millners, they had thisunbelievablefarm, they had horses, and, and rabbits that he couldchaseand it was- it w- .....Oh my God, Chi Chi!
什么？怎么了？Millner家的农场不是在Connecticut吗？Millner家有很棒的农场，有马，兔子，狗儿在那儿可以追……，噢，我的天，奇奇！

讲解注释subway: 地铁

loosely translated: 泛泛地解释为

loosely: 松弛地,宽松地

translate: 翻译

naked: 裸体的

since: 自从

Since always. 固定说法。当别人问“从什么时候开始的？”就可以回答“Since always一直都是这样的”。

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，近年来网路上有很多类似的帖子，大家可以找来看看，很搞笑的。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，是不是经常听到女娃娃讲“I hate u”？

alcoholic:酒鬼

complain:抱怨
You've got nothing to complain about.
你没什么可抱怨的。

blow:吹，打击
The death of their daughter was a cruel blow.

Bill knocked him down with one blow.

Joey: Yeah. 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。
