经典对白:
4-06生日礼物故事梗概Ghandler 爱上了 Joey 的女友 Kathy,为了让她得到喜欢的生日礼物,Chandler 买了本the Uelveteen Rabbit (《绒毛兔》),因为它是Kathy 孩提时代最喜欢的童话书,即便如此,Chandlen 还觉得不够好;但是 Joey 的礼物则显得十分孩子气,一支两用笔(a clock pen),即可以当笔用,逐可以看时间;然而 Joey 却不这样队为。
不过既然大家都觉得 Joey 的礼物不怎么样,Chandler 最后只有把自己挑选的礼物让给了 Joey,令人没有想到的是,Joey在赠送礼物时,还是露了馅……Chandler: Okay, all right. I just spent the entire afternoon looking for a present for Kathy that would be better than the rabbit.
Rachel: Any luck?
Chandler: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I found this great place called "Invisible things for Kathy." (Motions to an imaginary pile of presents next to him.) Can you give me a hand with all this stuff?
Rachel: All right, look. Why don't you just return the book, let Joey give her the clock pen, and you give her something worse than that. Like... a regular pen.
Chandler: She's really going to love this, you know? The bottom line is I want her to have it, even if I don't get to be the one who gives it to her.
Rachel: Aw, honey, that's so sweet.
Chandler: Yeah? You don't think it's just pathetic?
讲解Joey 马上得去见女友 Kathy,但是还没有合适的生日礼物。他马上找Chandler 帮忙,从而看到了 Chandler 准备的礼物《绒毛兔》,Joey 毫不客气地决定就送 Kathy 这本书了。
《绒毛兔》
(The Velveteen Rabbit) 是美国著名作家 Margery Williams(玛格莉·威廉姆斯,1881—1944年) 的著名童话,发表于1922年。《绒毛兔》堪称经典作品,据悉,在欧美等国,此书一直被认为是儿童文学领域中最受欢迎的作品。故事的主人公是一只玩具兔子 (stuffed rabbit),它在经历风霜之后,最终变成了一只真正的兔子。
Joey 在送给 Kathy 礼物时,说:I know you like Rabbits,and I know you like cheese.看来言多必失,这哪和哪啊? 聪明的 Kathy 一眼看出了破绽,最终断定一定是 Chandler 给她买的礼物。
我们要讲的一个重要短语是 the bottom line,本来它是一个会计术语(accounting term),指“财务报告上的净收入或亏损” (a financial statementthat shows net income or loss),但在口语中,更经常地表示“重要的或根本的意义”(the main or essential point)。例如:The bottom line is that the chairman wants to dictate 3 all of the board's decisions.(重要的是董事长欲做董事会所有的决定。)同样在 Friends 第5季第4集中,Ross 的“妻子”Emily 要 Ross 答应她一个条件——永远不要见 Rachel。如果他能答应这个条件,她就同意搬到New York,和他继续生活。不知道细节的 Rachel 鼓励 Ross 满足 Emily 的一切要求,她说:Look,whatever this relationship stuff that Emily wants.just give it to her.Come on,the bottom line here is that you love her.So just fix whatever she wants fixed 4.Just do it.(重要的是,你爱她,所以,她要的“关系那码子事”什么的,你就按照她说的去做。)当然,bottom line 还有“底线”的意思;double bottom line 是“双重底线”的意思,指企业要同时考虑社会目的和经济目的的双重底线。
