▲知识点

场景一：Phoebe在唱歌时被打断，她说：

Phoebe: Excuse me！Yeah, noisy boys！

Phoebe: Is it something that you would like to share with the entire group？

Max: No, that's okay.

“Excuse me”的用法相信大家已经熟悉了，Phoebe用这句话引起对方注意，同时又比较有礼貌。

Is it something that you would like to share with the entire group？

你们有什么话，可以与大家一起分享吗？

这是“不要窃窃私语”的委婉说法，课堂上常用。

场景二：Chandler和Joey在饭店吃饭，上菜太慢，小钱钱开始抱怨：

Chandler: This is unbelievable. It's been like a half an hour. If this was a cartoon, you'd be looking like a ham right about now.

美国动画片中经常出现这种画面：某人饥肠辘辘，看啥都像吃的，例如汤姆猫看见小鸟，下一个镜头就是小鸟（在他眼中）变成了一只烤鸡。Chandler当时在餐厅等了那么久，当然会很饿，所以他对Joey说，如果在动画片里，那你在我眼中就跟火腿一样了。

▲知识点

场景三：Rachel和Chandler等人打牌，输了却不知道给钱，于是就有了下面的对话：

Chandler: Rachel, we gotta settle.

Rachel: Settle what？

Chandler: The Jamestown colony of Virginia. You see, King George is giving us the land.

第一个settle是“结算”的意思。Chandler本意是让Rachel跟他结算输了多少钱，Rachel反问“结算什么”，于是小钱钱就用settle的另一个意思“殖民、 定居”来开玩笑。

弗吉尼亚的Jamestown是大英帝国在美洲的第一个殖民地，英皇承诺开拓者对土地有所有权，因此早期殖民者不辞艰辛开垦这片土地，在美国历史上具有重要意义。

场景四：Rachel吐槽Ross，Monica跟风附和，反而被Phoebe吐槽——Phoebe说的这句话来源于一句谚语“It's like the pot calling the kettle black”，按字面意思翻译过来就是“罐子笑壶黑”，铁制炊具多为黑色。这罐子和壶一样黑，所以这句话的意思是“你嘲讽别人，自己也一样”，类似于中文里的“五十步笑百步”。

另一种说法是“It takes one to know one”，即彼此彼此。

Phoebe: Oh, hello, kettle？This is Monica. You're black.

Monica: Please！I am not as bad as Ross.
