老友记 第二季 12 The One After the Superbowl Part 1

    本集简介：

    A TV commercial featuring a Monkey reminds Ross of Marcel. Ross decides to visit Marcel at the San Diego Zoo, since he's going to a convention in Los Angeles. Once there, he is told by a zoo representative that Marcel has died; however, an eccentric zoo keeper tells him Marcel was stolen and put into show business.

    Ross' search leads him back to New York, where Marcel is filming Outbreak II: The Virus Takes Manhattan. Joey begins dating Erika, a stalker who thinks he's really his soap opera character, Dr. Drake Ramoray. Phoebe dates Rob, a guy who hires her to sing songs for children at the library. Her songs are a little too real for the kids' parents. She gets fired, but all the kids come to the coffee house so they can still hear her.

    一支广告总是勾起罗斯对马赛尔的思念。

    罗斯决定趁开会之机顺道去旧金山动物园探望马赛尔。

    动物园的经理告诉他，马赛尔病死了;而一个神经兮兮的动物管理员提供线报说，马赛尔实际上已投身演艺圈。

    罗斯顺藤摸瓜又追回了纽约。

    马赛尔正在纽约拍电影：《病毒攻占曼哈顿》。

    乔伊有了第一个疯狂影迷——（由波基小丝客串）艾芮卡。

    艾芮卡分不清戏剧和现实的界限，以为乔伊就是他饰演的角色，瑞摩瑞医生。

    菲比喜欢上图书馆工作人员罗拔，后者邀她去为来图书馆的孩子们唱歌。

    孩子们的父母认为菲比的歌超过了小孩子的接受范围，菲比被辞掉了。

    但热爱菲比的孩子们追到了咖啡馆来继续欣赏。

    经典对白：

    2-12Joey的疯狂影迷故事梗概Joey一举成名，也有了“粉丝”(tans)追捧，一个叫做Enica的女影迷(大名鼎鼎的影星Christa Brooke Shields 波姬小丝饰演)根本就分不清楚生活中的Joey与他扮演的Drake Remore医生。

    Erica对Joey简直是崇拜之至，十分喜爱Joey的手，说这双手简直是miracle，magcal,lite-giving hands。他们认识的当天,碰巧有位顾客吃饭时噎住了(choked)， Erica大力举荐Joey， 并说他是最棒的医生，弄得Joey哭笑不得。更绝的还在后头呢……ERICA: Sabrina. I know about you two. I saw you today kissing in the doctor's lounge.

    JOEY: It's not what you think, that was...

    ERICA: You told me I was the only one. [throws a glass of water in his face]

    JOEY: Alright look, that's it. I don't think we should see each other anymore, alright. Look, I know I should have told you this a long time ago but I am not Drake Remore, OK. I'm not even a doctor, I'm an actor. I just pretend to be a doctor.

    ERICA: Oh my God. Do the people at the hospital know about this?

    JOEY: Somebody wanna help me out here?

    RACHEL: Oh, I know, I know. [Turns on the TV. Joey in on it.]

    ERICA: How, how can you be here and there.

    JOEY: 'Cause it's a television show.

    ERICA: Drake, what're you getting at?

    JOEY: I'm not Drake.

    ROSS: That's right, he's not Drake, he's Hans Remore, Drake's evil twin.

    ERICA: Is this true?

    讲解What are you getting at?是日常使用的一句英语，表示“你在说什么呢?”言下之意是说话者对对方刚才所讲的话提出一点质疑。

    在FRIENDS第1季第8集中，Monica和妈妈的一段对话也十分有趣。要知道，Monica的妈妈向来很是追求尽善尽美，用Monica的话来讲，就是picking on every little detail(对每件小事都要鸡蛋里挑骨头)。没想到grandma也如此，所以Monica的这种性格就不足为怪了。当她们谈论grandma时，妈妈流露出一种埋怨，这时，Monica问：如果grandma在这儿的话，你还会告诉她“How she drove you crazy，picking on every little detail...”吗?这时，妈妈反问了一句：“I'm not sure I know what you’regetting at．”由此可见，这句话常常可以用来搪塞，是一种“装糊涂”时非常实用的话。妈妈的回答也很值得一学：I think some things are better left unsaid．(莱坞。)的确如此。

    下面我们再说说影迷的事，看来Erica的确是有些stupid，这么个简单的问题，她死活弄不清楚。她倒是心眼实在，还替Joey考虑“医院”是否晓得他是在“装作医生”。为了帮Joey解围，先是Rachel说Joey装成Drake是为了和她上床，还向他泼了一杯水；Monica则说“他告诉我说要和我私奔，但是他没有。”说罢，也向Joey泼了杯水，反正，不泼白不泼。而Chandler则借题发挥，说“用完了厕所，也不把马桶座盖放下来，你个讨厌鬼!”(And you left the toilet seat up，you bastard 2．)。说完，也向Joey泼了杯水。好在Joey背上这么多的骂名后．Erica已是晕头转向了。她连忙问这一切是否都是真的。Joey回答：“是的”，“You deserve much better than me Erica．You deserve to be with the real Drake．he's the one you fell in love with．Go to Salem，find him，he's the guy for you．”deserve也很值得一学，简单的有：You deserve it．(你应得的)，这个词可贬可褒。你应得的，可以表示这是你辛勤劳动的成果·你应得的；也可能表示你是活该，自作自受。再如：

    How dare you do this to me?You deserve a kick in the ass 1!(你胆敢对我这样!我看你是欠扁。)You are our agent．You deserve the bonus．(你是我们的代理人，这份奖励是你应得的。)此外，deserve还可以表示“配得上”。如，Joey这里所讲的正是这个意思。他说“我配不上你的，Eriea……”言下之意是，你应该找个更好的。下次，如果你想说“我配不上你”(两种情形，一种是你想甩掉对方，还有你真的觉得如此)时，你就可以说“Maybe I don't deserve you．”
