老友记 第一季 22 The One with the Ick Factor

    本集简介：

    瑞秋大做春梦——先是和钱德，第二次天梦见和钱德及乔伊（不过大多数时间是后两人在忙乎），第三个梦终于是和罗斯。

    菲比想做兼差赚钱，所以给钱德当秘书。

    钱德由此发现同僚们不再像以前那样喜欢他……甚至模仿他讲话的语气取乐。

    莫妮卡和二年级生艾森约会，后来方知此君竟然是——高中——二年级生；她无法接受遂与之分手。

    罗斯买了个呼机，以方便卡萝将要分娩时同他联络；经历多场虚惊之后，他终于收到卡萝的呼叫。大家赶至医院。

    经典对白之一：

    1-22-1 快点，要生了!

    故事梗概Carol的预产期到了， Ross买了个呼机准备随时待命。

    谁知呼机总被呼错，弄得他虚惊了好几次。等Carol真正呼他的时候，Ross反倒乱了方寸，摔了个大马趴．Ross第一件事就是赶紧组织大家前往医院，可大家好像没他那么心急，有点磨蹭，急得Ross挨个催促……[Scene: The Hallway, Ross is eagerly waiting for the others to get ready, to go to the hospital.]

    Ross: Monica, let's go. Come on now people, woman in labor 1.

    (Chandler struts 2 out from his apartment)Chandler: (doing a little dance) Hey Ross, look what I've got going here.

    Ross: Yeah, save it for the cab, okay.

    (Rachel comes out from their apartment with a mirror and a lipstick 3 in her hands)Ross: What are you doing? We're going to a hospital.

    Rachel: What, so I can't lokk nice? There might be doctors there.

    Ross: Joey, get out of the fridge.

    Joey: All right, all right. (he comes out from their apartment with a huge sandwich in his hand)Ross: What is that? (refering to the sandwich)Joey: For the ride.

    Chandler: Yeah, like in a cab...

    Ross: Save it.

    Chandler: Okay, hating this.

    Ross: Monica, come on now. Let's go, baby coming.

    讲解在这一片段中，由于急着上医院，Chandler两次想讲话都被Ross制止。第一次Ross制止道：Yeah，save it for the cab，okay．(先不要讲了，车上再说。)第二次则更为简洁：Save it.(别说了。)为了不影响事情的进行，我们通常用Save it．来阻止别人讲话，如果正在主持会议的你听到有人讲话，阻止一下是很有必要的：Save it!Keep quiet until the meeting is over．(别讲了!会议结束之前请保持安静!)同样被伤透了心的你也不会听进去对方的任何辩解：I don't care what you think you have to say．Save it!(我不管你想说什么，你给我闭觜!)与save相关的表达方式有很多，其中有些在口语中应用性非常强。如果你在关键时刻得以解围或幸免于难，那你就是被saved by the bell。大家可能会联想到这个表达法出自拳击比赛。职业拳击比赛以4至15个回合来决定比赛的胜负。每个回合3分钟。时间一到，铃声就响。这就是人们常说的：The boxer 4 was saved by the bell．(铃声救了拳击手。)铃响时，即使一方已被击倒在地，裁判正在计数，只要没有数到10，这一回合也只能被判结束，裁判正在做的计数也随之无效。于是这位拳击手幸免于败，并使他免遭对方进一步的打击。

    在日常生活中，人们有时也会碰到某些尴尬场合。当你正苦于无法脱身时，如果这时门铃或电话恰巧响了，我们也可以说：We are saved by the bell．(铃声使我们得以脱身。)一次被一个保险业务员缠得脱不了身，幸好A stranger broke in upon my office．1 was saved bv the bell and stopped the talk at once．(一个陌生人闯入了我的办公室，这一来倒是救了我，使我立刻停止了这场谈话。)中国人十分讲究面子，特别害怕lose face(丢面子)。如果出现了掉面子的事我们常会想办法save face(保全面子或挽回声誉)：Though she's lost herjob，she saved face by saying she’d left it willingly．(虽然她丢了工作，但为了保全面子硬说自己是自愿离职的。)一位朋友特别stubborn(固执)，决定了的事情就永不回头。所以每当有人想劝她回心转意时，我总会说：You can save your breath，you’ll ncver persuade her(别白费唇舌了，你决说服不了她的。)savc someone’s skin／neck用于指搭救，使免受伤害、惩罚等。when the rest of the gang were arrestcd，he saved his own skin by giving evidence against them．(他那一伙人都已被捕，而他因提供指控他们的证据而免遭惩罚。)相信他的同伙肯定对他恨之人骨，但如果是下面这种情况，则得好好谢谢对方：Thanks for saving my neck!I would have fallen down the stairs if you hadn’t held my arm．(谢谢你救了我的命，你要不是抓住我的肩膀，我有可能要摔下楼梯了。)记住：A stitch in time saves nine．(一针及时，可省九针。)
