3. Monica: And I assume, Chandler, you are still boycotting all the pilgrim holidays.英美很多节日都和宗教有关系，所以Monica这里说“pilgrim holidays”，pilgrim意思是朝圣者、旅行者或者清教徒的意思。Boycott本来是一个人名，后来演变成专有名词，意思是“拒绝出席、拒绝参加、抵制反抗、经济制裁”等。 <BR><BR>4. Ross: Look, if she's talking to it, I just think that I should get some belly time too. Not that I believe any of this.“belly time”，翻译成腹部时间么？现在不可以，还记得以前的那个Alan-bashing么？常有这些表面上看起来莫名其妙的组合词组，这时候需要意译，结合上下文，知道这里Ross想表达的是他也想花点时间去进行胎教。“Not that I believe any of this”，这是一个强调句型，相当于I don’t belive any of this，Ross一方面不想让Susan一个人独享同胎儿亲近的机会，另一方面又非着重强调他是个PHD的身份,不相信这一套。在托福考试听力部分也常有这种用法。比如M:I hear the hocky game was packed. W:Not an empty seat in the house!Just standing room only.第一个人说：“我听说曲棍球比赛爆满了。第二个人回答说：“场地里没有空位置了，只有站的地方。”，这里第二个人说话时也把Not 着重强调。 <BR><BR>5. Chandler: I'd just like to say that I'm totally behind this experiment. In fact, I'd very much like to butter your head.这里总结一下，表示支持、赞同有哪些表达方法，Chandler用了一个be behind sb/sth,其他的还有：agree with, go along with,back up,on the side of,support等等，当然了还有一个最简单地表达法：be with sb，以及Friedns主题曲中的I’ll be there for you.“'d very much like to butter your head”中，very much又提前了，不同于我们常说的Thank you very much，这里还是表示强调。 <BR><BR>6. Monica: We all chipped in. chip in除了插嘴的意思之外，还有凑钱、捐款、赞助的意思。比如：I'm very sorry that I can only afford to chip in a few dollars this time.很抱歉这次我只能捐助区区几块钱了。Donate就显得正式多了，书面语中常见。The businessman donated a lot of money to the hospital. 这个商人捐给医院很多钱。论坛上也有号召捐款的帖子，个人以为不如改为凑份儿更合适。 <BR><BR>7. Monica: (hands Chandler a bag) Chandler, here you go, got your traditional Thanksgiving feast, you got your tomato soup, your grilled cheese fixin's, and your family size bag of Funyuns. <BR>Rachel: Wait, wait, Chandler, this is what you're havin' for Thanksgiving dinner? What, what, what is it with you and this holiday? “fixin's”＝fixings配菜，“Funyuns” 1969年百事可乐的菲多利推出的Funyuns牌洋葱味小食品。需要指出的是，百事并不只是生产饮料，在69年就提出了。“你们的生活丰富多彩，百事的产品同样丰富多彩”的广告主题。这点国内的朋友可以了解的要少一些。Chandler因为父母在感恩节那天宣布离婚，从此之后Chandler就对所有的宗教色彩节日反感，于是Monica给他装了西红柿汤、烤奶酪以及一些小食品给他。这其中故事大家都很熟悉了，只有Rachel不清楚，所以她不解地问：你和这节日怎么回事呀？（what is it with you and this holiday），这句话应该熟记，以后有什么觉得好奇的时候，就不用生硬的去问what’s wrong 或者what’s the matter了。 <BR><BR>

8. Chandler: Yes. It's very difficult to appreciate a Thanksgiving dinner once you've seen it in reverse. Reverse可以做形容词，表示颠倒的、反常的或者向后转的，如：a reverse gear. <BR>倒车档，也可以做名词，表示相反、反面以及失败、逆运，比如：suffered financial reverses.遭受财政困难，还可以做动词，表示颠倒、翻转、撤销。无论是什么词性，都可以从“反面的”这一意思推倒而出，这里用了in reverse，表示的是与…相反之意。整句话如下翻译：只要你也体验一次完全颠倒过来了的感恩节，就很难再去喜欢感恩节盛宴了。 <BR><BR>9. Monica: Ok, three kinds of potatoes coming up.有很多人喜欢Monica的确是有理由的，因为她能够设身处地的为他人着想，先后有Ross、Joey和Phoebe提出了自己的请求，于是她不得不准备三种不同的土豆来满足他们。 <BR><BR>10. Monica: Ok, right about now the turkey should be crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Why are we standing here?到楼顶看完热闹，几个人回到门口，Monica美滋滋的设想了Oven里正在烹饪的火鸡状况，大概火鸡的外面应该是脆脆酥酥(crispy)的，里面应该是鲜嫩多汁(juicy)了吧。(适值午餐时间，偶都快流口水了，嗯，还是继续写完再去吃饭吧。) <BR><BR>11. Joey: Hey, I got one keyhole and about a zillion keys. You do the math. 天啦，原来，Rachel和Monica都没带钥匙，责任推诿也解决不了问题，好在Joey去拿了备用钥匙前来，可是钥匙又太多了，把他催急了，冷不丁冒出上面那句。意思是“钥匙孔只有一个，钥匙却有一大串，你自己去算吧！”言下之意，是怎么可能快的了呢？zillion, 庞大的数字, 无法计算的大数字，和million、billion一起记。 <BR><BR>12. Chandler: I'd like to propose a toast. Little toast here, ding ding. I know this isn't the kind of Thanksgiving that all of you all planned, but for me, this has been really great, you know, I think because it didn't involve divorce or projectile vomiting. Anyway, I was just thinking, I mean, if you'd gone to Vail, and if you guys'd been with your family, if you didn't have syphilis and stuff, we wouldn't be all together, you know? So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm very thankful that all of your Thanksgivings sucked.祝酒中西方都常见，这里Chandler也来了一段，虽然听起来很搞笑，不过我想Chandler说的是真心的，他的确是高兴的不得了：）。Propose a toase，祝酒。Syphilis：梅毒，其他常见性病（V.D.=venereal disease）还有淋病（gonorrhoea）、尖锐湿疣（Condyloma acuminata）等。另外，这段话很适合复习记忆stuff和suck的口语用法。 <BR><BR>13. [Scene: The Subway, Joey sees his poster and he peels off the caption on his poster, revealing more posters underneath. The captions read, as follows: <BR>Bladder Control Problem <BR>Stop Wife Beating <BR>Hemorrhoids? <BR>Winner of 3 Tony Awards... <BR>这副场景在网路的一个笑话中也有体现，说的是妈妈带女儿去游泳的场景，有兴趣的可以自己去查找一下，这里不赘述，Joey阴差阳错成了性病代言人，终归不是什么光彩的事儿，走在街头看到那张海报很不爽，于是看看四周每人，就上前去撕，结果发现下面的海报标题也不好，第一次是膀胱控制问题（Bladder Control Problem），第二次是停止虐待妻子（Stop Wife Beating），第三次则是痔疮（Hemorrhoids），最后终于露出个让他满意的，原来是三项“托尼奖”（ Winner of 3 Tony Awards），这下他高兴了，要知道“托尼奖”可是美国戏剧的最高奖啊！ <BR>－－－－－－－－－－ <BR>
