经典对白之一:


1-14-1 冤家路窄


故事梗概


Joey想跟迷人的Corraine约会,但对方提出的条件是约会时,他必须介绍一位男士给她的一个女友认识。

Joey只好求助Chander, Chandler无奈勉强答应。到了约会地点。

Joey和Chandler谁也没有想到Connaine所说的女友竟是Janice, 真是冤家路窄……


Joey: You're right, I'm sorry. You're right.




Lorraine: (to waiter) Uh, can we have three chocolate mousses to go please?




Joey: I'm outta here. Here's my credit card. Dinner's on me. I'm sorry, Chandler.




Chandler: I hope she throws up on you.




(Joey leaves with Lorraine. Chandler sits back down with Janice.)


讲解


 


Lorraine临走前叫了点东西带走:Uh,can we have chree chocolate mousses to go please?(请给我们来三份巧克力奶油冻带走。)mousse的音译是“暮思”,或译为“奶油冻”,是一种泡沫状奶油作配料制成并经冷冻或胶凝的食品。美国的快餐店、咖啡店甚至部分餐厅都有外带(take out)服务。




如需外带,你只要在点叫的东西后面加上to go或to take out就可以了,比如:I want two hamburgers,one plain,the other with all trimmings to go.(我要两个汉堡带走,一个什么都不加,一个加全部的佐料。)




再举一个例子:I want two coffees,onc black,the other with cream to take


out.(我要两杯咖啡带走,一杯不加糖不加奶精,另一杯只加奶精。)点完后服务生的回答通常是:All right.I'll put them in brown paper bags/paper cups.(好的,我把它们放进牛皮纸带里/纸杯里。)




如果需要多拿几根吸管或几张餐巾纸,你可以说:May I have several more straws(napkins)?也有些店里则由客人自行拿取。




Chandler不让Joey先走,但Joey挡不住Lorraine的诱惑,最后还是走了。临走前Joey为了表示歉意对Chandler说:Here's my credit card.Dinner's on me.(这是我的信用卡,晚餐我请客。)




在美国,很多人在餐厅用餐都不用现金结账,而用credit card(信用卡)签账,但服务生通常都会问清楚是哪一种信用卡。如果所持信用卡是餐厅可以接受的,服务生还会向客人要身份证明(identification card):May I have your ID,please?以便出纳员抄录或刷印卡片号码和银行的名字,将来和他们结账。如果餐厅不接受信用卡,或与该家银行无金钱业务往来,那只好说声抱歉了:I'm sorry.Our restaurant doesn't accept cards for that company.(对不起,我们餐厅不接受那家公司的信用卡。)




另外一种非现金结账方式是签字结账,但使用这种方式的前提是你必须是餐厅的会员或常客,想签账时可以这样说:I'll sign for it.或May I sign for it? 此种情况服务生一般都得请示经理,他会对你说:I'll get the manager for you.He’d be most glad to help you.(我把经理给您找来。他将竭诚为您提供帮助。)


经典对白之二:


1-14-2 三度分手


故事梗概


在餐厅,Joey和Cannaine撇下Chandler和Janice独自离开了。为了补偿Chandler, Joey留下了他的信用卡。 刚开始两人比较冷漠,可后来Chandger突然想起了Joey留下的信用卡,

便高兴地和Janice在那儿开怀吃喝了一通。第二天一早,Chandler醒来发现了身旁的Janice,

她正为两人昨晚的事兴奋不已。Chandler别无选择,只得三度与她分手……


Chandler: How can I dump this woman on Valentine's day?




Joey: I don't know. You dumped her on New Year's.




Chandler: Oh, man. In my next life, I'm coming back as a toilet brush.




(Janice enters.)




Janice: Hello, funny Valentine.


 


讲解


chandler觉得在情人节这天甩掉Janice不太合适:How carl I dump thiswoman on valentine's day?(我怎能在情人节甩掉这个女人?)Chandler的考虑是正确的。情人节是恋人们增进感情、表达爱慕之情的节日,如果在情人节抛弃恋人那是极为残酷的。




由于接二连三地dump Janice,Chandler说:man.In my next lifc,I’m coming back as a toilet brush.(哦,老兄,来世我会被转世成一个马桶刷。)


Chandler的话幽默又形象。toilet brush让我们联想到了跟toilet有关的很多其他用法,比如toilet paper,tissue(卫生纸)、toilet roll(小卷卫生纸)、toilet glass(梳妆镜)、toilet soap(香皂)、toilet set(一套梳妆用品)、toilet seat(马桶座圈)、toilet tent(临时搭建的帐篷厕所)等等。




这些用语根据字面很容易理解。但并不是所有的都这样。比如这句话:This tolet water has me running back and forth 1 to the John.John在此是俚语,相当于toilet(厕所),那么如何理解toilet water呢?如果按字面理解成“冲厕所的水”,那么这句话翻译出来就会驴唇不对马嘴。其实toilet water在此的意思是“啤酒或桶装啤酒”,因此整句话应该翻成:这种啤酒害得我来来回回不停地上厕所。再比如:You want another pitcher 2 of toilet water?(你想再来罐啤酒吗?)




除此之外,toilet mouth也不能按字面理解,它用来指那些满嘴脏话的人。假如你碰到一个人正在骂街,脏话连篇,难以入耳,你可以这样制止他:Hey,toilet mouth!Cool it!(喂,臭嘴!嘴巴干净点!)




人际交往中toilet mouth非常不可取,不但会冒犯别人,也许会影响自己的命运。一个坏习惯看似无大碍,但从长远看会左右人的一生,因为我们知道:Sow an action and you reap a habit;sow a habit and you reap a character;sow a character and you reap a destiny.(行为形成习惯;习惯塑造性格;性格决定命运。)
