经典对白之一:

1-02-1订婚戒指哪去了?


故事梗概




Rachel想把订婚戒指逐给Barry,可订婚戒指突然不见了。结婚那天她临阵脱逃已经让Barry在家人面前出丑,这下她觉得更加无颜面对Barry。 Rachel急得团团转, Monica发动大家一起帮忙寻找。情急之中的Rachel想起来早晨在厨房做饭时戒指还在手上, 她看了看已做好的意大利面条,突然意识到了什么,并告诉Monica千万不要生气……


1:订婚戒指哪里去了?




Monica: Easy Rach, we'll find it. (To all) Won't we!




Chandler and Joey: Oh! Yeah!




Joey: Alright, when'd'ya have it on last?




Phoebe: Doy! Probably right before she lost it!




Chandler: You don't get a lot of 'doy' these days...




Rachel: I know I had it this morning, and I know I had it when I was in the kitchen with...




Chandler: ...Dinah?




Rachel: (looks at the lasagne and realizes something) Ohhhhh, don't be mad...


 


讲解


正当Rachel急得发疯、四处翻找戒指时,Monica前来安慰她:Easy,Rach,we’ll find it.(别急,Rach,我们会帮你找到的。)亲人或朋友每每受到挫折或遇到难事时都需要我们的安慰。如果他们为某事而焦急不已,除了像Monica那样,你也可以这样给予安慰:No need to get so worked up.(用不着这么着急)。或Relax.It’s nothing at a11.(放心吧。这根本没什么。)遭受打击的人往往会心灰意冷、忧伤不已,这时你这样说或许会令其好受些:Be calm and take things as they come.Don’t take it to heart.Try to look on the bright side of things.(冷静些,事情既然这样了,就随它去吧。别把它放在心上。尽量朝好的方面看吧!)


记得上大学时有一次参加英语演讲比赛,信心十足的我本以为自己能稳拿第一,不料却获得了第二。当时由于好胜心太强,哭得稀里哗啦。辅导老师见状走了过来,几句话便让我止住了泪水。他说:Chin 1 up,life goes on.You were just unlucky this time.I believe you'll get it next time.(别灰心,还有机会的。这次你只是运气不好,我相信你下次一定会赢!)老师的话对我触动很大,从此往后每每不如意之时,我总会这样想:It's not the end of the WOrld.(这没什么大不了的。)


Rachel意识到自己在帮Monica做饭时很有可能不小心将戒指掉在了面条中。为了不让Monica发火,她赶紧说道:Don't be mad.(千万不要生气。)对mad的用法了解不多的学习者很可能这样来理解这句话:不要发疯了。其实mad在此相当于angry。


上班一族最怕迟到,因为这样经常会招致老板大发雷霆。此种情形可以这样形容:The boss was as mad as a wet hen.老板气得暴跳如雷。(as)mad as a wet hen(非常生气)中的wet hen直译过来的意思是“湿的母鸡”。给鸡的身上浇水,鸡就兴奋得发狂。这是本条习语的来源。在生活中我们都有(as)mad as a wet hen的时候。My wife gets as mad as wet hen whenever anyone drops ashes on the rug 2.丈夫们往往会这样评价妻子,意思是说谁要是把烟灰掉在地上.我老婆就会吹鼻子瞪眼。




在汽车万能的美国,男子与女子约会时,一般使用汽车接送。但是,也有可能发生意外的情况,两个人吵起来不欢而散。在这种场合中,如果女方连回家的车费都没有,那就只能听男方摆布了。因此,mad money成了有利的护身符。所以美国人常说:A smart girl never goes on a date without a little mad money.(一个聪明的姑娘身上不带点回家用的车费,决不出去与男人约会。)




mad money除指“与男朋友吵嘴后分手时所用的车费”外,还泛指“女性为不时之需备用的金钱”,也可以认为是一种“私房钱”。在美国人眼里,这一场合的mad不是angry,而接近crazy,因为这种钱本来是为不时之需储存的,但女人们大多是发疯(crazy)似地把它用掉。从这一点也可以看出美国人特有的一种性格:That’s such a beautiful dress.I’m tempted 3 to use some of my mad moneyand buy it.(那件衣服太漂亮了,我真想用一些私房钱买下它。)




口语中跟mad有关的其他习语还有like mad(相当于very hard),直译为“象疯了似的”,这是一个被广泛应用的表达法,形容势头的凶猛。电影中发生不测的时候经常会有这样的镜头:The dog is barking like mad.


(狗在狂吠。)或是It’s raining like mad.(正在下着瓢泼大雨。)like mad在翻译成中文时,要根据上下文寻求适当的字眼。下面这两句话中like mad的译法肯定不一样:


We ran like mad to catch the bus.(我们拼命奔跑去赶公共汽车。)及The weeds in our yard are growing like mad.(我家院子里的杂草在猛长。)Are you mad about English?Thcn why not learn it like mad?(你对英语着迷吗?那就拼命学吧!)


此外,摘录部分中的Doy也有必要交待一下。Joey问Rachel:When did you have it on last?Phoebe接着回答说:Doy!Probably right before she lost it! doy在这里是个感叹词(exclamation),表示“What a stupid question!The answer is obvious.”
