1. sucker 爱上当的人 Rachel哄骗着菲比给她跑腿儿,然后低声说说菲比是sucker. Sucker 在美语里首先是容易上当的人,另外还可以指对某种东西特别迷恋的人,** 比如我的一个加拿大小提琴家朋友经常说I am a nice hotel sucker. 因为他特别看重酒店星级。
Rachel: Pheebs? Could you get that? Please? Phoebe: Why? Just 'cause you're too lazy to get up off your touchie? Rachel: No! No!

Rachel: (under her breath) Sucker! 2. grab a bite 随便吃一口 Monica和前男友Richard一起go for a bite 引起了Chandler的不满。 Go for a bite 随便吃口饭. 有时候说grab a bite ** Phoebe: Oh good! All right, so you decided to tell him about the Richard thing. Chandler: What-what Richard thing? Phoebe: Oh no. Chandler: What Richard thing? Phoebe: Simmons! Go with Simmons! Monica: Okay, I umm, I ran into Richard yesterday and he asked me if I wanted to go for a bite and I did. The only reason I didn't tell you is because I knew you'd get mad and I didn't want to spoil our anniversary. Chandler: I'm not mad. Monica: Really?! Chandler: Oh yeah! Yeah, so you-you bumped into Richard! You grabbed a bite! It's no big deal. Monica: Great! 3. dice out 买定离手 Monica和Chandler在赌桌前听到荷官说Dice are out.

That's how she paid for all my dance—karate lessons. 6. doodle 乱画,打发时间 Rachel被Ross画了满脸,说自己是一个human doodle. Doodle 有两层含义,一是漫不经心的乱写乱画,二是闲逛,打发时间 Rachel: What?! What else did he say? Ross: Umm, he said he thought I was funny. So…(Rachel stares at him.) Okay, look-look umm, let's just go downstairs, we'll have some fun, and you will forget all about it. Rachel: Ross, no! There is no way I am leaving this room looking like this! Ross: Oh, come on! Rach, it's-it's not that bad. Rachel: Ross, I am a human doodle!! 7. take a hike 一边儿呆着去 ** Pheobe在老虎机上赢了钱,拿出一个quarter打发和她纠缠的老人说了一句take a hike. take a hike 本意是去郊外远足,健走的意思。**** Take a hike 口语里是走开,别来打搅的意思,甚至可以翻译成“哪儿凉快哪儿呆着去”**** Phoebe: I won! I won! I finally won! The Lurker: I won! That was my quarter! Phoebe: Fine! Here!

Chandler: Okay, all right, all right, all right! Okay! (Picks up a blue sweater.) Okay, here's something, here's something blue and new. Monica: You're so efficient. I love you! Chandler: Let's go! (Starts to leave.) Monica: No-no-no! We need something old! Chandler: Ohh, great, I have condom in my wallet I've had since I was twelve. Monica: That'll work! Chandler: I don't think so. Monica: Okay, now we just need something borrowed! Chandler: (looks around) Here just…take this. Monica: That's stealing! Chandler**: No, we'll-we'll bring it back! Just put it under your dress. Monica: Ohh. (Rubs her fake stomach.) Chandler: Okay, one thing at a time.
