1. high five 庆祝击掌
Ross谈到自己第一次婚姻失败是因为妻子是gay, Charlie非常兴奋，原来她也曾经跟gay engage过，Ross大喊high five
high five 为庆祝某事把手举高击掌
双方需要各高举一只手，向对方的手拍击，在美国文化中，这代表了问候、庆祝。那击掌为什么High Five呢？High Five一词来源于运动比赛。在球场中，运动员打了个好球，就会高举手臂、张开五指、相互拍击，表示庆祝，也因此得名于High Five。
而现在High Five也已经沿用至日常生活中，成为人们日常打招呼、庆祝胜利的标志。
Charlie: Oh, this is such a cute picture of Emma. And is this your son... or just some kid whose picture you bring on vacation?
Ross: That's Ben, my son from my first marriage.
Charlie: Your first marriage?
Ross: Yeah.
Charlie: You're married more than once?
Ross: No. (they clink glasses and drink)
Charlie: So, why did you break up?
Ross: (embarassed) Oh, it was... it's complicated, you know? She... she was... eh... gay.
Charlie: Oh my God, this is so cool!
Ross: Ok, odd thing to get excited about!
Charlie: No, it's just... I was enganged to a guy who turned out to be gay!
Ross: Hey! High-five! (they high-five)
2. blush 因害羞而脸红
Joey追问Rachel的意中人是谁，Rachel不愿意回答，Joey说you are blushing.
blush 因害羞而脸红
save one's blushes 或者是 spare one's blushes 就是让某人摆脱尴尬的局面。
例句：I tried saving her blushes when she asked me to prom by saying I had no intention of going with anyone.
Joey: But what about back home, anything going on there? Anybody you like?
Rachel: No.
Joey: There it is, you're blushing!
Rachel: No, I'm not blushing, I'm sunburnt! From, you know, the rain.
Joey: You like someone. Tell me who it is. Who is it?
Rachel: No.
Joey: Tell me who it is.
Rachel: Joey!
Joey: Come on who? Who do you like? Tell me. You're not getting away that easy. Who do you like, who?
Rachel: Joey, come on! It doesn't matter, you know, it's not like anything's gonna happen.
Joey: What? Why not? Rach, who can you not get?
Rachel: Oh! (pause) Ok. Ok, you really wanna know who it is?
Joey: (eagerly) Yeah, who is that?
Rachel: Do ya?
Joey: Yeah.
3. groupie 骨肉皮
Charlie在Ross演讲的时候在台下跟着Ross一起讲，像极了歌迷参加演唱会的样子.Ross感觉自己像一个Rock star, Charlie脱口而出I am your groupie
groupie 盲目追捧摇滚歌星的小女孩，她们愿意为自己的偶像无条件献出一切，中文译为“骨肉皮”
这种社会现象出现在上个世纪60年代摇滚乐蓬勃发展，追星族群体蓬勃壮大时期，也出现了一批跟着摇滚歌星巡演并试图与他们有亲密关系的女歌迷。正因为groupie的含义，才有了接下来Ross那个不合适的笑话。
4. take something too far 做过头了
Charlie说自己像groupie, Ross回应I'd better not found you naked in my hotel room!因为这种事情是groupie真的会做的，但跟Charlie开这样的玩笑显然不合适，Charlie也没有笑。Ross意识到了，赶紧说I took it too far.
take something too far 做事过头了，把某事扯远了
例句：Well, your little brother is crying now because you took your teasing too far.
Ross: Hey! (she turns to him) Well...? (in expectation)
Charlie: You were incredible!
Ross: Yeah?
Charlie: You blew them away!
Ross: Oh, I can't tell you how great it was to look at the crowd and see your face! I mean... uh, did you know you were (giggles) mouthing the words along with me?
Charlie: (smiling broadly) I was not!
Ross: No, it's ok! Made me feel like a rock star!
Charlie: Oh my God! (pauses) I'm your groupie!
Ross: (joking) I'd better not found you naked in my hotel room!
Ross: (realizing his joke wasn't so good, but still giggling) Look, I took it too far!
5. have a lot on one's plate 忙，分身乏术
面对怪异的教授共度周末的邀请，Ross开始表现得很客气I kinda have got a lot on my plate right now, not that I wouldn't love a weekend in the country with a strange man。后来看到他还有妻子，Ross一直一句get out 滚蛋。
get/have a lot on my plate 忙，没空，分身乏术
Mr. Oberblau: I'm just saying, I have a cabin in the Adirondacks if you ever want to get away from the city, well, that'd be (pause) just nifty!
Ross: Ooh, well. Ah, I kinda have got a lot on my plate right now, not that I wouldn't love a weekend in the country with a strange man. (Mr. Oberblau giggles)
Woman: Jarvis?
Mr. Oberblau: (seeing her) Oh, you're back... (to Ross) this is my wife, Nancy.
Ross: Get Out!
6. it's for the best 最好的结局
Charlie和Joey分手了，Charlie的评价是it's for the best
it's for the best 最好的结果，对大家都好
Charlie: Ross, can I talk to you for a minute?
Ross: Yes, please! (they move and sit down on a sofa) So, what's going on?
Charlie: Uh, well... Joey and I broke up.
Ross: Oh my God, wh-what happened?
Charlie: Joey is a great guy, but we're just... so different! I mean, during your speech he kept laughing at homo erectus!
Ross: I knew that was him!
Charlie: Anyway I just, uh, I think it's for the best.
