The One With a Chick. And a Duck.
本集简介:
The diner where Monica works 1 puts their staff on roller-skates; Monica crashes into Rachel while skating; Rachel's injuries are worse than first believed. Pete buys a restaurant and offers Monica a job as head chef; she's unsure whether to take it, since she still isn't attracted to Pete. Pete makes up a story about another woman so Monica will think he's over her; Phoebe sees right through it but promises not to tell Monica. Joey buys a pet chick for Chandler, but caring for it becomes a source of conflict. Ross has a chance to be on TV as part of a panel 2 of Paleontologists, but gives it up to take Rachel to the hospital. Monica and Pete are about to stop seeing each other, but then they kiss... and Monica finally feels it.
莫妮卡工作的餐厅要求员工工作时穿溜冰鞋;莫妮卡练习溜冰时倒在瑞秋身上,让乔伊误会了;瑞秋受的伤不像预料的那么轻。
皮特买了个餐厅,请莫妮卡去当主厨;她犹豫要不要接受,因为她至今对皮特还不来电。皮特编造了一个飞机上的艳遇,使莫妮卡相信他对她已经忘情;菲比一眼看穿,但答应不告诉莫妮卡。
乔伊给钱德买了只小鸡当宠物,但两人因为照顾小鸡而渐渐开始争吵(就像照顾小孩那样啦)。罗斯作为古生物学者有机会上电视参加座谈,但为了带瑞秋去医院,他放弃了抛头露面的机会。莫妮卡和皮特即将分手,两人最后一吻,而莫妮卡终于感觉有戏。
经典对白之一:
3-21-1 探索频道故事梗概工作认真执著的Ross又有好消息了,他们博物馆要开一个座谈会,讨论他们刚刚在秘鲁(Peru)发现的化石,而且探索频道要来录制全过程。Ross对此十分共奋,并且打算要精心准备。
Ross: (triumphantly) I'm gonna be on TV!!
Chandler: No way!
Ross: Yeah! They're putting together this panel to talk about these fossils 3 they just found in Peru and The Discovery Channel's gonna film it!
Chandler: Oh my God! Who's gonna watch that?!
Ross: Thanks. You ready to go?
讲解1985年在美国开播的The Discovery Channel现在已经发展成为业务遍及160个国家和地区,拥有13亿用户的全球时事与娱乐传播公司。目前The Discovery Channel只是该公司Discovery Communications的核心栏目,它还有其他25个栏目,如:TLC,Animal Planet,Travel Channel,Discovery Health Channel,Discovery Kids,Discovery Times Channel,The Science Channel,Military Channel,Discovery Home Channel等等。
目前,在中国也能看到Discovery Communications的节目。它的确是一档探究事物本源,解密世界奇妙的好节目。
Ross要上The Discovery Channel了,他说:I’m gonna be on TV.我们要上电视了,便可以说:We are gonna be on TV.如果是收音机呢?是否可以说:We are gonna be on radio?答案是No。因为radio这个词是收音机、广播电台、无线电的意思,比方说:I heard about it on the radio.(关于这件事我是从收音机里听到的。)Through months’seeking,he finally got a job in radio.(经过几个月的寻找,他终于在广播电台找到了一份工作。)She spoke 4 over the radio.(她作广播讲话。)可以看出,radio指的是无线电信号和无线电信号接收器,而不是无线电节目。要表达上广播节目应该说:We are gonna be on the air.air的含义是“无线电广播节目”。
它也可作动词,指“在无线电节目中播出”,如:The tidbits will air on tonight’s 6 o’clock news.(趣闻将要在今晚6点的新闻节目中播出);The program airs daily(这档节目每日播放)。
现在中国广播节目也与听众进行实时互动了,他们之间的媒介之一就是电话,在国外也是这样,这被称作call-in discussion 5。另外,随着电视业的迅猛发展,air这个词也可以指在电视中播放,像:The ad was submitted 6 to CBS and has been accepted to air it.(提交到CBS的广告已经获准播出了。)不过如果说:We are gonna be on the air.那还是指上广播,而不是上电视。
经典对白之二:
3-21-2都是小鸡惹的祸故事梗概Joey和Chandler煞有介事地专心照顾起他们新买来的小鸡。陪她看电视、聊天、哄她睡觉。可谓精心照看、无微不至。今天,Joey工作了一天,回来后马上还要出去和朋友们喝酒。在家照顾了小鸡一天的Chandler生气了,还煞有介事地和Joey吵了起来。
Joey: Well, anyway, I got to go change, I'm ah, meeting some of the cast for drinks.
Chandler: Excuse me?
Joey: What?
Chandler: I stayed home from work today while you were at rehearsal 7 so somebody could be here with our chick!
Joey: Hey! Who was up from 2 o'lock this morning until 5 o'lock this morning trying to get her back to sleep?
Chandler: You don't think I get up when you get up?
Joey: Ohhh, here it comes.
Chandler: Yes, here it comes! I'm stuck here all day, and then you come in and spend two seconds with us and then expect to go off gallivanting with your friends? Well I don't think so mister 8!
Joey: Hey!! I need to relax! Okay? I was working all day!
Chandler: And you don't think taking care of our chick is work?
Joey: That't not what I said. Okay, I just meant...
Chandler: I know what you meant!! (pause) You notice that ever since we got this chick, we're been fighting a lot more than we used too?
讲解:
不知看了这一集的你,是否感到Joey和Chandler之间的对话有些与往常不同,甚至有些怪怪的,仿佛在哪里听过。让我们仔细品位一下吧。作了一天的Joey一回来就随意地放下背包,在屋子里晃了一圈说“我要换衣服出去和朋友喝酒”。
这下,Chandler可不是和往常一样跟他打趣,而是回敬了一句“Excuse me?”表面是很讲礼貌,实则生气了。然后他就马上说“今天我没有工作,为的是在你工作的时候能够有人在家陪我们的小鸡。”他说的是“我们的小鸡”,这是他们第一回合的争论。
接下来Joey也不示弱,他回敬道“是谁从早上2点一直到5点哄我们的小鸡睡觉?”看来他们还真认真呐。居然像哄小孩一样照顾他们的小鸡,爱心可嘉。之后,Joey得到了同样的回敬。这样,70ey就习惯性地说“Ohhh,here it comes。”这应该如同我们中国人说的“噢,又来了。”那下一句汉语会是“是,我就要说。”Chandler也告诉我们美国人的说法“Yes,here itcomes!”然后他生气地说出了原因:“我一整天都被困在家里,你一回来只和我们呆了两秒种就又要出去和朋友玩乐。先生,这合适吗?”不知你是否发现,他的这句话很像中国人的两口子吵架。尤其是最后一句,他说“自从我们有了小鸡我们老是吵来吵去”。
经过这样的解释你是否发现,他们两个像一对刚刚有了孩子的夫妻,因为还没有完全适应新生活,出了一点矛盾就大吵起来。在其他的美国电影中你是否看过真正的两夫妻为这种事吵架呢?我曾看过一些,但我们要想达到这种吵架的水平,还是要下一番功夫的。
