    经典对白:

    2-11 同性恋故事梗概Carol是Ross的前妻(ex-wite),但Carol是个性取向(sexual onientation)不同的人: Carol打算和Susan结婚,这让Ross十分尴尬(embarrassed),他有心不参加Carol的“婚礼”(lesbian wedding),但当他获悉Carol的父母拒绝参加她们的婚礼时。Ross为了不让Carol失望,还是忍痛出席了仪式。Monica的任务是负责婚礼的饮食安排,谁让她是厨子(chet)呢。

    RACHEL: Oh god. I think I'm gonna be sick.

    MONICA: Why? It's not like I'm putting little nipples on them.

    ROSS: And you had no idea they weren't getting along?

    RACHEL: None.

    JOEY: They didn't fight a lot?

    RACHEL: No! They didn't even talk to each other. God, how was I supposed to know they were having problems?

    讲解第一次见到gay这个词是在一首小诗中:

    Work while you work,play while you play.This is the way,to be cheerful and gay.这里的gay是快乐的意思,后来被告知要be careful with this word,才知道它有homosexual之意。在几十年前(several decades ago),the word gay meant something like“jolly'’(欢乐的)or“mirthful”(高兴的)。

    但在现代用法中,gay成为了homosexual的同义词(synonym)。此外,gay这个词一般是指“男同性恋”(male homosexual);女同性恋一般用lesbian这个词。但是gay有时又基本上可泛指所有除异性恋之外的男同性恋、女同性恋和双性恋(bi-sexual)。trans-gender 4则指跨性别的。此外,third-sex是同性恋的隐讳说法。

    如果用英文来解释gay,下面几个关键词应该用得着:sexual orientation 5 (attraction,preference,or inclination);acts between or among people of the same sex or gender。

    据说是因为人们觉得homosexual一词是个身份标签(identity-label),所以用gay来取代homosexual。gay还可以与其他词构成短语,如:gay culture (同性恋文化),gay bar(同性恋吧),此时,gay主要有“与同性恋人群有关的”之意。

    gay是一个形容词,所以不能说“He is a gay.”正确的讲法应该是“He is gay.”;与此类似的一个词是straight(异性恋),straight也是形容词,因此,应该说:He is straight.而不应该说:He is a straight.gay一词还可以用作轻蔑语(pejorative),带有很强的冒犯性(deeply offensive),例如:That hat is so gay.(那顶帽子真够女人气!);gay在这个时候带有很大的贬义(dcrogatory),使用时应十分小心。

    Friends中Ross的“前妻”是一个女同性恋者,lesbian的来源与古希腊著名诗人萨福(Sappho)有关,lesbian的原意是“勒斯波斯”(Lesbos)岛人,因为当时萨福收了很多女弟子,与她们在岛上搞同性恋,因而得名。Dyke 6则是另一个指女同性恋的词。

    与gay,lesbian相对,straight指性取向正常的人。第4季中Ross担心女友Emily和自己前妻的同性恋女伴Susan在伦敦发生故事,大家都反复告诉他“Emily is straight”.(艾米莉是异性恋。)如果听到人家说:I am straight.千万不要觉得莫名其妙,其实I am straight.就是I am NOT a gay.的意思。但是如果人家说:I am straight-acting.则是表示他其实是同性恋,但是他的行为却跟异性恋无异。比方说他也照样结婚生子,这种人可视之为隐性的同性恋,就像Ross的前妻Carol那样。

    Friends中关于“同性恋”的描述很多。例如,Ross的前妻是个lesbian;Chaandler的父亲也是个同性恋,在第7季22集中,剧情交待父子俩多年没见,chaandler也不打算邀请父亲到场参加婚礼。Monica知道此事后拽着Chandler 去了Las Vegas亲自邀请他父亲。由于父亲工作的地方是同性恋场所,Monica 和Chandler都很不自在,Monica甚至分不清为他们服务的服务生是男的还是女的。不过,服务生看出Chandler是straight(异性恋)。

    在美国这个多元化的社会里,同性恋是非常公开的。根据CNN最新的统计数据,同性恋占美国的人口总数已经达到5%,他们甚至有自己特别的旗帜:六色旗,所以他们的影响力实在是不容忽视。

    比较俚语的说法还有如:He is queer.这个表达法也是表示“他是同性恋”的意思,只不过相对而言它们没有轻视的味道在里面,算是比较中性的说法。He is a faggot.虽然是指男同性恋的意思,但是这是非常轻视侮蔑的讲法,多半用在骂人和跟人吵架的时候。因此请不要随便对朋友说:You faggot.不然到时非遭人家一顿毒打不可!
