《老友记》第一季第4集 详解

(克林顿亲信助手)乔治·史特喷那彼拉斯先生


又到了和前妻卡萝初次嘿咻的纪念日,罗斯心烦意乱,遂跟随钱德和乔伊去看曲棍球比赛,不料遭球击中。在医院里,罗斯透露说卡萝是同他有过亲密关系的唯一女性。钱德和乔伊同感不屑。瑞秋的昔日闺中密友来访;见旁人春风得意,瑞秋不禁有些怨天尤人。三位姑娘办了一场睡衣派对,菲比本想用魔豆的故事安慰瑞秋,却让三人都想到自己的人生没有明确的目标,情绪低迷;后来因为送错的披萨,她们发现了在街对面的迷人的史特喷那彼拉斯先生,顿时欢天喜地。

经典对白之一: 1-04-1如果我无所不能的话…… 故事梗概在Central Perk”, 除Joey缺席外, 其他五个人正在探讨如果有一天自己变得全能的话, 希望做些什么。 Phoebe的愿望是要世界和平, 不再有饥饿, 森林不再遭受破坏……Chandler想做的是让自己变得永远全能。 这时Joey进来了, Monica便问他要做什么, 没想到他把 “金能” 理解成 “无能”, 随口说道或许我会自杀……

Monica: Hey, Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent 1?

Joey: Probably kill myself! Monica: ..Excuse me?


讲解:


因为Joey的回答不太合逻辑,Monica可能以为自己没听清,便让Joey重复一遍:Excuse me?(你说什么?)Excuse me?在此并不表示道歉,而是相当于Please repeat what you said.(请再说一遍。)

Excuse me?的这种用法在美语中比较常见。另外一种美语表达方式为Pardon me?,如果是英式英语的话则要说Sorry?当然Excuse me也是道歉的用语,很多英语学习者把Excuse me和Sorry等同起来使用,但是如果仔细体会,事实并非如此。


那么什么场合该用Excuse me呢?当你站在客满的电梯最里面,电梯到达你要去的楼层,但是前面仍然有许多人挡着你出去,在这时你该怎么说呢?一句Excuse me,can I get past,please?(劳驾,让我过去好吗?)就能解决问题。如果人实在太多,你又急着出电梯,可以简单一点说:Excuse me.或Scuse me.(劳驾)这样的话大家应该都会让出一条路,或回答说Sure,甚至是Sorry。


在其他的场合,如在找地方时:Excuse me,but could you pleasc tell me where the men’s department is?(请原谅,你能告诉我男装部在哪儿吗?) 在公司里,打断主管与客户的电话时:Excuse me,but you have a phone call.(对不起,有您的电话。)


探讨问题过程中,与别人产生异议时:Excuse me,but I don't think it's quite true.(很抱歉,我认为这与事实略有出入。)


在公共场所,打扰别人时:Excuse me,is anybody sitting here?(打扰一下,请问这儿有人坐吗?) 由以上的例子可以看出Excuse me多用于与陌生人搭话、引起他人注意、打断别人说话、从他人身旁挤过、表示异议等场合,一般麻烦他人的时候都可以使用。 那么什么时候该用Sorry呢? 例如坐错别人的位置、拿错别人的东西、踩到别人的脚等,都要用到Sorry:Sorry,I didn’t realize this seat was taken.(抱歉,我不知道这个位置有人坐。);




Sorry,I thought this was my book.(抱歉,我以为这是我的书。);Sorry,did I stepped on your foot?(对不起,我踩到你的脚了吧?) 其他的情况如麻烦他人办事或半夜打电话吵醒他人时:Sorry to bother you when you are busy.(抱歉在你很忙的时候麻烦你。);


I'm terribly sorry I woke you up last night.I didn't think you would be asleep.(昨晚吵醒你我非常抱歉,我以为你还没睡。) 爽约、让别人久等、开会迟到等,一定要道歉,而且要切记不能一犯再犯:Sorry,I didn't come by your office yesterday.(抱歉我昨天没有到你的办公室。);


Sorry to keep you waiting. (抱歉,让你久等了。);Sorry,I’m late.(很抱歉,我迟到了。) 日常生活中我们免不了会打嗝(belch)、打哈欠(hiccup)、打喷嚏(sneeze)以及清嗓子(clear your throat),这些行为在中国人眼里是自然现象,所以我们的处理方式就是沉默不语。然而在西方的某些社交场合,这些都属于不礼貌的行为,需要道歉。


这时候你可以用Excuse me或Pardon me.但是一般会认为Sorry更具有道歉的意思。尤其是打嗝,欧美人觉得是很不礼貌的事,最好说Sorry。 一言不发有失礼貌,可Sorry,sorry.说个不停也并非好事,有时效果还会适得其反。中国人认为一再重复或许会让人觉得很有诚意,英语并非如此。接受道歉的人会认为你是故意的或是想敷衍了事。
