听前思考

1. 美式脱口秀（stand-up comedy）的笑点为什么不太好懂？
2. 假如你说的话让别人不舒服、不高兴了，该怎么用英语给自己解围呢？
3. 说别人“胖”是很不礼貌的事情，有什么更委婉的表达来形容胖嘟嘟的身材呢？
4. 那些动不动就“先定一个亿小目标”的人，你知道英语里怎么形容他们吗？

剧本片段

Scene 1
大家在咖啡馆里讨论吻对于男生女生的不同意义

[Scene Central Perk, everyone's there.]
Monica: What you guys don't understand is, for us, kissing is as important as any part of it.
Joey: Yeah, right!.......Y'serious?
Phoebe: Oh, yeah!
Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss.
Monica: Absolutely.
Chandler: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y'know? I meanit's like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out.
Ross: Yeah, and-and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's that-that... that's not why we bought the ticket.

Scene 2
Ross和Monica的父母来了，大龄剩女Monica感到压力很大，只能把Ross推到前面挡子弹了……

Mrs. Geller: What that Rachel did to her life.... We ran into her parents at the club, they were not playing very well.
Mr. Geller: I'm not gonna tell you what they spent on that wedding... but forty thousand dollars is a lot of money!
Mrs. Geller: Well, at least she had the chance to leave a man at the altar...
Monica: What's that supposed to mean?
Mrs. Geller: Nothing! It's an expression.
Monica: No it's not.
Mr. Geller: Don't listen to your mother. You're independent, and you always have been! Even when you were a kid... and you were chubby, and you had no friends, you were just fine!...
[Time Lapse.]

Mr. Geller: Look, there are people like Ross who need to shoot for the stars, with his museum, and his papers getting published. Other people are satisfied with staying where they are- I'm telling you, these are the people who never get cancer.
[Time Lapse.]

Mr. Geller: ...And I read about these women trying to have it all, and I thank God 'Our Little Harmonica' doesn't seem to have that problem.
Monica: So, Ross, what's going on with you? Any stories? No news, no little anecdotes to share with the folks?
Ross:Okay. Look, I, uh- I realise you guys have been wondering what exactly happened between Carol and me, and, so, well, here's the deal. Carol's a lesbian. She's living with a woman named Susan. She's pregnant with my child, and she and Susan are going to raise the baby.
